This combination results in brisk acceleration and effortless cruising, both on city traffic and open roads, making Zoom 160 fun to ride.
Design and Styling
Zoom 160 looks striking, an off-roadish-adventure motorcycle like many contemporary units, by the rugged design language coupled with the windscreen which adds muscle and provides added strength, an apron-style front adds and lends some edge, especially regarding the front that aerodynamically speaks out yet presents rugged strength, giving some visual effects; and also features the headlamps being led and separated that enhances a quite adventurous attitude as seen on newer motorcycles.
