2014 · Cruiser
The 2014 Sym Maxsym 400i entered the maxi-scooter market as a compelling option for urban commuters and touring enthusiasts alike. This model year continued Sym's dedication to practical and feature-rich scooters, positioning itself against established contenders such as the Yamaha XMAX 400 and the Suzuki Burgman 400. The Maxsym 400i aimed to offer a comfortable and capable riding experience, bridging the gap between smaller city scooters and larger, more touring-oriented motorcycles.
At its core, the Maxsym 400i is powered by a 399.00 ccm (24.35 cubic inches) single-cylinder engine, delivering a respectable 35.00 HP (25.5 kW) at 7000 RPM. This power output translates into a top speed of 143.0 km/h (88.9 mph), making it suitable for highway cruising. Torque figures stand at 34.50 Nm (3.5 kgf-m or 25.4 ft.lbs) at a lower 5500 RPM, providing ample pull from a standstill. Weighing in at 229.0 kg (504.9 pounds) and with a fuel capacity of 14.70 litres (3.88 gallons), the Maxsym 400i offers a good balance of stability and range for its class.
As a cruiser category scooter, the Maxsym 400i prioritizes rider comfort and ease of use. It features a low-slung seating position and a spacious footboard, allowing for various riding postures. The large windscreen provides effective wind protection, a key feature for longer journeys. While lacking the traditional v-twin rumble of a conventional cruiser motorcycle, the smooth operation of its single-cylinder engine ensures a relaxed ride. The suspension setup is designed to absorb road imperfections, contributing to a plush experience over varied surfaces, a crucial aspect for daily commuting and weekend excursions.
The 2014 Sym Maxsym 400i is an ideal choice for riders seeking a practical, comfortable, and capable maxi-scooter. Its blend of power, comfort, and ample storage makes it suitable for commuters who frequently traverse both city streets and longer stretches of road. Furthermore, its relaxed ergonomics and ease of operation appeal to those new to larger scooters or motorcyclists seeking a more convenient alternative for everyday use. The Maxsym 400i represents a well-rounded package for its segment, offering solid performance and genuine touring capability.
