As the latest addition to the Malaysian maxi-scooter scene, the 2017 SYM Cruisym 300i aims to provide a value-for-money choice for riders needing a scooter that can handle longer journeys with a decent turn of speed. Shown at the Gempaq Penang 2.0 roadshow sponsored by SYM and PJ1 lubricants, the Cruisym 300i was on display at the Seberang Jaya Expo in Penang.
Carrying a 278.3 cc single-cylinder SOHC air-cooled engine fed by EFI, the Cruisym 300i puts out a claimed 26.9 hp at 7,750 rpm and 27.3 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm. Power gets to the ground with a centrifugal dry clutch and automatic CVT gearbox.
Suspension on this Taiwanese scooter is with telescopic forks in front, and unit-swingarm in the rear, where the engine and gearbox is an integral piece of the swingarm. Braking is by hydraulic master cylinder for the front and rear, grabbing a 260 mm and 240 mm disc, respectively.
LED lighting is used for the turn signals and brake lights, with twin halogen headlights in front. A possible option for the 300i is forward and rear cams which record road activity and can be viewed on the rider’s smartphone, though this is yet to be confirmed.
The Cruisym weighs in at 198 kg wet, which makes it a touch hefty, although the scooter’s low center of gravity makes handling easy. There were two colours on display at the Gempaq 2.0 roadshow – white and red, and we were informed that there is a third colour option, grey.
Pricing for the 2017 SYM Cruisym 300i has not been set as yet, pending government approval. Direct competitor to the Cruisym 300i is the Kawasaki J300, which retails at RM31,498.
Will be tailgating Beemers on fast lanes real soon
Also don’t forget, they also put beemers sticker
Should be priced below 15k.
I don’t think so coz sym symphony 250i evo already RM22k. This one should be more I guess
Are you stupid? This is 300cc
So pricing should be not over 25k

Actually looks good for casual touring.
It is was designed for casual touring
That’s why big scooter famous for being tailgaters
for B2 licence, you need a few hundred Rm to go to test and upgrade to Bfull licence, just because of 50cc extra. That’s why, you see very less people buy 300cc motor unless JPJ upgrade B2 to 300cc [ 300cc motor, Kawasaki z300, Benelli tnt300, Kawa j300, Honda Pcx300 & CruiSYM 300 ]
Current trend…B2 should extend to below 500cc…
