If straight-line speed is your priority, the Z7 Hybrid takes the lead. With 18 HP more than the Z500, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Z500 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 61kg less than the Z7 Hybrid, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the z500 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the z7-hybrid if you want the alternative brand character.
