Engineered by Sym for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2012 Sym Tonik 50 pairs a 49.5 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 6.7 HP (4.9 kW) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.5 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches) with a 11.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Tonik 50 measures 92 kg (203 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (13.73 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,220 mm (48 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.8-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
