Hi Peace & Pistons, great review, big thumb up. Each time I call it SYM like "BMW", friends and family correct me so a big credit to you here. One thing you forgot is lack of Start stop technology where both PCX and N-Max WIN big time and it's a VERY important feature for delivery riders. Biggest rival for this model and for any for this matter is Honda SH 125 that is in words of a song "simply the best": bigger storage, better looking, start stop, no tunnel - key for delivery, reliable as fxxx and not that more expensive plus you carry a Honda badge. Thumb up number 29
The only downside to this scooter in my opinion is putting the fuel cap under the seat rather than trying to put it in between were feet will go. Otherwise it’s awesome and really considering buying it. Are you planning a review of the SYM ADX 125? One I am interested in buying but not many reviews of it to find on UA-cam
The fuel cap location is a bit of a Marmite choice but it does add an extra level of security to stop people nicking your fuel haha. No plans for the SYM ADV, since making this video I've moved to Italy and work for Italjet, makers of the worlds finest scooter!
@PEACEPISTONS I got it at a kymco dealer that has a lot of them, and I paid around $2800 for it, so what did you pay for your if that what you were comparing to
@@shortypI don't buy most the bikes I review, I just borrow them for reviews but I also work in the industry which is how I know about build quality and the longevity of machines I don't personally own
Hi, love watching your videos. Thinking of getting this scooter but was wondering if the front brake has ABS and rear drum brake? Is it lighter than SYM Jet 14 LC?
Thanks Vijay, it's CBS not ABS but I was really impressed with the brakes the stopping power is amazing. It has disc brakes on the front as the rear The Jet 14 LC weighs 116Kg dry and the Jet X comes in at 111Kg dry
Can you tell me about the break wires? They look like they block the full view of the screen. I really like this scooter but every video I have seen those wires always seem to be in the way of the dash, especially blocking the lower part of it. Compared to the Honda PCX, which also has digital dash but its still fully visible and its brake wires don't seem to be so noticeable. Maybe it's because of the angle in the videos....but please tell me if it's like that in real life because I do want to buy either this scooter, the PCX, or the Honda Forza (125) sometime next year.
I disagree with you because I have the Blaze 2 150cc scooter. It's been very dependent for me, and I have had for over a year now, so you need to take time to try it for yourself before making a decision on it
I have tried, the blaze is just a rebrand these scooters are all made by a manufacturer called Znen, for the money they are OK but don't expect them to stand the test of time.
I'm about to buy the 2022 ABS version and i'm super exited, this scooter is soooo cool! Ps: did you know if the 2022 version have different engine performances over the 2021?
The Blaze scooter offers an affordable option, but its durability over the long term might be questionable, which is evident in its pricing. If you’re seeking a budget-friendly scooter without concerns on longevity, it could meet your needs. However, for those looking for a dependable ride beyond a year, it might be advisable to explore other options.
Hey guys, great review. Question, I want to put my JET X on a charger for the winter but cannot locate the battery. Don't want to dissasembly the whole bike :)
You can take off the right footrest, that will allow you to take off the center black thing, under a plastic cover there is the battery, hope that helps ^^
Wouldn't say maxi, it's bigger than your average scooter but not quite as big as a Maxi For reference the PCX comes in at 76 inches long and the Jet X 78 inches long
@@PEACEPISTONS It just looks bigger. It seems common in the scooter world for companies to offer one body with two engines. And that mostly happens with maxi sized ones. It does look a nice bike.

nah its hp and torque are lower than its rivals pcx and nmax here in my country plus nmax and pcx abs versions are $200 more than this non abs bike thats whyh its sales here is so low you barely even see it on roads
Incorrect, the PCX 125 has 12.3 HP, and the NMAX has 12 HP, both figures taken from the official Honda and Yamaha websites. The SYM Jet X has 12.5 HP The Jet X is available with ABS or CBS. Some countries sell both versions, and some don't.
And it you want to dig into even deeper, the PCX weighs 130kg, NMAX 131kg, and the Jet X is lighter at 120kg, based on official manufacturer data. The power-to-weight ratio is crucial for performance. With its higher power and lower weight, the Jet X outperforms both the PCX and NMAX.
@@PEACEPISTONS "IN YOUR COUNTRY THAT IS" in our country nmax and pcx at 160cc and jetx at 150cc still jetx outweighs them 150cc version weighs at 140kg plus it cost more than the nmax and pcx both non abs versions
@@markangelogarcia2584 Well to be fair, this video was made "IN MY COUNTRY" and clearly features the Jet X 125, not sure why your commenting about other versions not featured in this video. So the comments made in my video about the 125 version giving better performance over the PCX and NMAX are true and valid.

And thats what they said about the kymco 50cc, but I had it for over 10 years with a 70cc kit
Kymco is a good brand and has been around for many many years. Significantly better quality than the blaze.

Thailand called gpx drone 150cc
every thing looks amazing, only the dash look cheap
Dash looks a lot better in real life, the video doesn't do it justice
A fuel cap under the seat in 2021 is criminal
