This is the definitive site for all things "Zong". I envy you getting to go to the open house. Please take lots of pix and vids if possible. Look forward to your up close and personal with the RX3.

Wolftrax and Motomapper,
As the founder, and self-appointed President of The Cult of The Zong, I recognize both of you are true Zongites. Resistance was futile. You have been assimilated.

The TU250X counter shaft sprocket is available from 12T-16T.
Examining the counter shaft area of the engine, it appears there will be sufficient room for at least a 15T, and perhaps a 16T C/S sprocket. One might need to remove the plastic sprocket guard, but I don't consider that a problem. The rear sprockets are available from 38T-52T. Therefore, one shouldn't have any problems gearing the RX3 to his liking, even if he converts to a larger rear wheel.

I don't know if that's an honor or a curse!

The Cult of The Zong is a long running joke here at China Riders. Until now, at least, everyone has considered cult membership an honor.

I hadn't noticed until this latest video, that the front rim is only 18". That doesn't change how I feel about the bike, but it was a surprise. With Spud's idea of converting the rear to 18", I think it will have a good look and terrific tire selection.

Yes, Zongshen is continuing the 'tradition' of the ZS200GY-2 with the 15-inch rear wheel, and the 18-inch front wheel.
