At the heart of the 2024 Sym Maxsym TL 508 scooter motorcycle, Sym relies on a 508 cc (31 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 44.9 HP (32.8 kW) at 6,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 49.9 Nm (36.8 lb-ft) at 5,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 88.4 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,250 rpm) and peak power (6,750 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 Maxsym TL 508 measures 227 kg (500 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2 HP/kg (5.06 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,250 mm (49.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12.5-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 139 km/h (86 mph).
