2014 Sym HD 2 170 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Sym's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2014 Sym HD 2 170 pairs a 171.2 cc (10.5 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15.3 HP (11.2 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 15 Nm (11.1 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 89.4 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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 HD 2 170 measures 145 kg (320 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.48 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.2-liter (1.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.44 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 213 km (132 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 109 km/h (68 mph).
