Bought mine actually 2 weeks ago with the TCS (which i consider a must). It's even better than i expected. Amazing bike. Thank you for all the info and keep up the good work bro!

That sound of the exhaust... I like that!

2 cylinders sound completely different then regula scooters

tq mr Alex. nice review Sym Tl 508. hope can include brightness of the headlamp at night.

@georgevoinea1632 Год назад

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 Год назад

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

@rilson80 2 года назад

All right, I expect the same test like this with less powerful scooters !!! And not just with this big one !!!😎🍻

@RideWithAlex 2 года назад

I take out every single one that gets registered :))) but not all of them get registered (we still have to sell them you know 😂)

I did last year, but I wasn't filming back then.

I just changed the 500 model to the 508 I am very satisfied and your review was perfect. Thank you

@Wleez Год назад

What is the different between 500 and 508? Which one you recommend more for the price what you get.

@oldi2402 2 года назад

Hi. What is the main diference with the tl 500 in power. Do u feel any diference. Or anything else. Great review. 👍

@RideWithAlex 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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 :)

@osonodomonstro6006 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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.

@OAelkadi 2 месяца назад

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 2 месяца назад

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.

@aagcasino Год назад

Buna Alex. Îmi aștept cu nerăbdare să îmi ajungă SL 508 2023 as avea o întrebare ... Chiar îmi place cum arata fara Windschild crezi că m-ar afecta mult de tot daca nu las monta ? Mii de mulțumiri și încă o dată respect pentru review chiar este unul dintre cel mai bune făcute despre acest model.

Can it live for many years is it robust like honda and yamaha please tell me what do you think ,thanks

@RideWithAlex 2 года назад

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.

You can feel the difference, it's not world changing but it does feel better, a lot more potent

How does the suspension compare to the Tmax or the Forza 750? I am considering a maxi scooter but I want the most comfortable one

Haven't test riden those so I can't compare.

too bad this scoot isnt available in my country btw is this more expensive than the kymco ak550 or is it cheaper?

@RideWithAlex 2 года назад

I don't know because the AK550 is no longer on sale here because it doesn't meet euro5 emission standards.

@@markangelogarcia2584 You will have to check with your local dealer. Here in Romania the AK550 is not available.

@lamondaforestry 2 года назад

I think you were more excited with the 400...

@RideWithAlex 2 года назад

The 400 was a shock, because I wasn't a big fan of it until I rode it. The 508 I was expecting to be fast so it wasn't that big of a surprise when I rode it and it was fast :)

@davong7 2 месяца назад

Fuel consumption is heavy?

@RideWithAlex 2 месяца назад

A bit on the heavy side, 5-6l/100km

@ph5056 26 дней назад

If you want good fuel economy go for a 300 scoot , they do on average 80-85 mpg , are just as comfortable and fast enough on acceleration and top speed with touring ability. Good video by the way 👍

@divedeep04 Год назад

if you want to test the bike on a twisty road you have to uphill and downhill a mountain brother...

They are completely different, the TL is much bigger and more comfortable.

You said that you cannot reach the ground with both feet. What is your height. I am 175 ( 5'9 ) . You think it is too tall?

If you're comfortable with just one foot on the ground as I am than sure no problem.

I’m a bit out of sequence with your video rides, but it’s really irrelevant because of your enthusiasm on each presentation regardless of bike ridden or manufacturer, (in this case the Sym TL508). Everyone benefits, all the best. Rola (Oregon / USA).
