The 2018 SYM Sport
Rider 125i is now updated with new colours – Red, Blue and Yellow – and new
graphics. Price for the Sport Rider 125i is now RM 5,542, up from last year’s
non-GST price of RM 5,123.
Carrying an air-cooled 123 cc single-cylinder
two-valve SOHC engine, Sport Rider 125i puts out 9.5 PS at 8,000 rpm and 10.8
Nm torque at 5,500 rpm. The power plant is Euro 3 compliant and fed by EFI with
power getting to the ground via a four-speed auto gearbox.
Lighting is with LEDs all round, including the turn
signals and DRLs, a nice touch at this price point. A storage space is found
under the seat, with the 4.2-litre fuel tank located in the tail section
instead of under the rider as is the norm for underbone bikes.
Front suspension is with telescopic forks, while a
traditional twin shock absorber setup in the rear features remote reservoir
shocks adjustable for pre-load. Braking is done with a hydraulic disc in front
grabbed by a twin-piston caliper, and the rear brake is by mechanical drum.
Inside the cockpit a combination LCD/analogue panel
displays all the necessary information the rider needs. Availability of the
2018 SYM Sport Rider 125i is at authorised SYM dealers from this week.
