2015 Sym Citycom S 300i CBS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2015 Sym Citycom S 300i CBS scooter motorcycle, Sym relies on a 278 cc (17 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 20.8 HP (15.2 kW) at 7,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 27.5 Nm (20.3 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 74.8 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,750 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Citycom S 300i CBS measures 187 kg (412 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (8.99 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 400 km (249 miles) between fill-ups.
