    Hello Alex. Very nice review! I also did a test drive with a TL 508 here in Belgium at the dealership.I liked it very much but I chose to buy a SYM 600i from 2017, it is a little more spacious.success with the new reviews✌️

    • @RideWithAlex

      They are 2 different scooters, the TL is more sporty the 600 is a tourer.

      It's about 6hp and 8nm more, you do feel a difference it has a bit more punch, not much but it is noticeable.

  • @uap2001
    @uap2001 2 роки тому +1

    Nice review! How can you describe the difference in your driving feelings between the 508 tl and 400? Did the 400 feel less sporty? Did the 400i feel much lighter?

    • @RideWithAlex
      @RideWithAlex  2 роки тому +5

      It's hard to describe. The TL feels more like a motorcycle. That means more weight on the front wheel thus giving you much more confidence to push it in the corners, the front end feels really planted. With normal scooters especially when accelerating out of corners the front end gets very light and for people who are not used to powerful scooters that can feel strange but the TL feels more planted. They are both sporty if you push them but the TL has that extra 10% more
      surefootedness that ,makes exploring the limits that much more fun :)

    Hey Alex, can you please compare riding experience between cruisym and maxsym, also would maxsym suit a 5’6 rider ( considering the wide seat area), I currently have a cruisym and thinking of maxsym tl. I drive mostly hi ways and country sides. Thank you very much ❤

    • @RideWithAlex
      @RideWithAlex  19 днів тому

      At that height please go and sit on it in the showroom, the main problem of both the maxsyms for me is the seat height, I can barely reach the ground. They are much taller then the cruisym.

    Greetings from Portugal. I'll try to write in English... I have two questions for you: what about the tires on wet pavement, I heard they do not like wet. Consummation, any idea? Congratulations for yours tests.

    • @RideWithAlex
      @RideWithAlex  2 роки тому

      I haven't ridden it in the wet but if you do a lot of riding in the rain I would suggest a more premium tyre, as of fuel consumption it should be about 4-5l/100km, depends how hard you ride it.

      This is the first year for the 508 engine so the oldest one out there is 1 year old. But looking back to Sym's history the engines are reliable. I have seen videos online with 125cc Syms going over 100.000 km on the original engine.
