Argentina's motorcycle market is booming, with sales topping 360,000 units in the first five months of the year, up 43% from the same period last year. At this pace, full-year 2026 volume could exceed 800,000 units. New model launches continue apace, with Chinese brand Zontes releasing three models — the 368G, 368E and 150X. The 150X is a 155cc model producing 17.7 hp and features Bosch fuel injection.

From a market perspective, Argentina's 43% growth figure isn't something to overlook. Momentum of 360,000 units in 5 months, potentially reaching 800,000 for the full year, is proof Latin America is becoming a new growth engine for the motorcycle industry. And into that, China's Zontes is pushing in with 3 well-equipped models. The world's center shifting to emerging economies — I see South America right now as a microcosm of exactly that.

It mentions the possibility of topping 800,000 units, but whether that pace holds through the second half depends on the economy too.

17.7CV from 155cc on the 150X, and even a Bosch fuel-injection system — that's genuinely serious spec.
