2016 Sym Fiddle III 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Sym's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2016 Sym Fiddle III 125 features a 124.6 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.5 HP (7 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.5 Nm (6.3 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 76.2 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 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 Fiddle III 125 measures 120 kg (265 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.63 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.2-liter (1.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 95 km/h (59 mph).
