In the last instalment in the 2021 SYM Maxsym TL 508 coverage we are going to find out how fast it is. With a couple of 0-120 km/h runs. The strange thing is, this video proves just how fast the Maxsym 400 actually is because it can decently keep up with it's big brother. But in the end 1 extra cylinder and 109 extra cc start to make their presence known when we get into the higher speeds. Both of them are really fast but one is faster then the other.

@alexandrosmp1 Год назад

@@KK-bx9xr It is a wonderful bike. If you are going from a 300 to a 508TL you need to be careful the first few days because it is quite a bit heavier and a difference o 24nm between the hd and the tl, the tl is 49.9nm. I was impressed with it, but as Alex said before if you are looking for a city commuter the 508 would not be the way to go.

@ soon to be 76 years old(?), Alex, I’m two years behind the curve enjoying your Sym TL 508 performance testing. Love the jury rigged phone for data info……you’re great for “use what you have” technology………(just like it used to be in the “old days”). Best you to you, family & friends. Rola (Oregon / USA)

Answer: Not that fast.

@georgem2456 Год назад

Here is what happens with the TL 508 or 465. It has a good chassis,good protection,good brakes,good front and rear shock rebounding, but lacks at the Engine and Transmission departments. You can clearly see that the MaxSym 400 despite having 1 less cylinder, 7-8 bhp less, a more touring oriented and wind resistant "suit" , it's almost as quick as the TL, just because the Engine and the Transmission on the TL is not as well developed as in a Tmax for example, which has 5 bhp more, but it is noticeably quicker. You can put on the TL 508 a Polini 12ball variator, a K&N air filter and an Akrapovic exhaust, but it still can't reaaaally be as fast as it looks. And the worst part is the Fuel Consumption along with the small Fuel Capacity. A 12 liter tank on a scooter the needs 5,2 - 6 liters/100 kms is very small.

Pretty interesting scooter. But I think the new Maxsym 400 GT (with it’s latest updates) is probably the best scooter on the market, value for money. Don’t you agree? You should do a review on it.

@RideWithAlex Год назад

An the price the T-max is about double.

@Buslingthorpe Год назад

You know, I wouldn't mind the TL being a bit slower (compared to the T-Max). I also wouldn't mind it being a bit heavier, a bit more thirsty or to have a driving chain AND a belt to replace every few years. But the TL just combines all of it. Yes, it's considerably cheaper, but you'll also get a MUCH worse resale value with the Maxsym. In addition to that, Sym really wants you to replace the chain every 12k kms, forcing you to buy the original spare parts because the sprockets seem to be a unique design. I really would've liked the Sym to at least excell in one aspect, I love the looks of it. But as is, I'm afraid I'm just gonna save up a bit longer to get the T-Max.

@RideWithAlex Год назад

still TL is just 60% the price of a T-max and I think that's a pretty huge difference.

@Buslingthorpe Год назад

Yes that's true. But the T-Max will hold it's value a lot better. Also, with the T-Max you'll have no problem getting spare parts in a few years of time. Can't be sure with the Sym, as they don't have the best track record with parts supply on older models.

@RideWithAlex Год назад

@@Buslingthorpe depends how much you want to keep it, i can find parts for 15-20 year old Sym's no problem.

@Buslingthorpe Год назад

@@RideWithAlex I guess it very much depends on where you live. In Austria, we hardly have any Sym dealerships, and many shops don't really want to work on them, which is unfortunate, because as you said, for the money it really could be a good offering.

@@Buslingthorpe you have online stores like easyparts.com that have a lot of sym parts.

It's a little bit faster in terms of acceleration.

@davidschneiter9729 2 года назад

@@RideWithAlex thanks for the answer 😊 so which one would you choose if you don't own a car and you want something practical but it should also make a lot of fun on the swiss mountain roads and have a high enough top speed for the highway? On the mountain roads we have a speed limit of 80kph and on the highway 120. So it should be fast enough to overtake but nimble enough to have fun on curvy roads. If you had about 10'000$ and you could choose any scooter, which one would you take?

@RideWithAlex 2 года назад

@@davidschneiter9729 Well for me personally, i don't like cleaning and maintaining chains so I think I would go for the old 600 because it's just soooooo comfortable on a long distance trip. The 400 is better on a curved road and has no chain maintenance but the TL is the best of both worlds if you don't mind having to maintain your chain. So it comes down to what you value most.
