Engineered by Sym for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2021 Sym DRGBT 160 pairs a 158 cc (9.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.6 HP (10.7 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 15.4 Nm (11.4 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 92.4 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 DRGBT 160 measures 132 kg (291 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.04 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 803 mm (31.6 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,380 mm (54.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.4-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 107 km/h (66 mph).
