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!

The first maxi scooter that I would actually seriously consider. Nice review, thanks.

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

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✌️

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

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

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

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

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

Ай бұрын

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.

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 жыл бұрын

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 :)

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

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

Fuel consumption is heavy?

@RideWithAlex

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

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).

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