Review

The 2014 Sym Quad Lander 300 S represents a utilitarian entry in the ATV market, aimed at riders seeking a robust and accessible quad. As a utility-focused ATV, it found itself competing against models like the Kymco MXU 300R and Arctic Cat 300, both offering similar displacement and practical applications. Sym, known for its scooters and smaller displacement motorcycles, applied its manufacturing principles to create a quad designed for reliability and straightforward operation rather than extreme sport performance.

Powering the Quad Lander 300 S is a single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 287.2 ccm (17.52 cubic inches). This powerplant generates 20.1 HP (14.7 kW) at 6500 RPM, providing adequate thrust for its intended use. Torque figures stand at 23.9 Nm (2.4 kgf-m or 17.6 ft.lbs) arriving at 5500 RPM, suggesting a tractable power delivery suitable for various terrains. The Quad Lander 300 S has a reported top speed of 85.0 km/h (52.8 mph), highlighting its design for practical tasks and exploration rather than high-speed antics. With a substantial dry weight of 243.0 kg (535.7 pounds), it offers a stable platform, and its 14.70-liter (3.88 US gallons) fuel tank provides a decent range for extended outings.

Riding characteristics of the Quad Lander 300 S lean towards comfortable utility. Its suspension setup is designed to absorb bumps and undulations commonly encountered off-road, providing a relatively smooth experience for the rider. The handling is predictable, making it suitable for less experienced ATV operators or those prioritizing stability over agility. The ergonomics are upright and open, typical of utility ATVs, allowing for good visibility and a relaxed posture during longer rides. Controls are intuitive and straightforward, reflecting its practical design.

The Sym Quad Lander 300 S is primarily targeted at individuals seeking a dependable and easy-to-manage ATV for light utility work, property maintenance, or recreational trail riding. Its moderate power output and stable demeanor make it a suitable choice for new riders or those who don't require the power and complexity of larger, sportier quads. For a rider needing a functional and uncomplicated quad that prioritizes reliability and user-friendliness, the 2014 Quad Lander 300 S presents a compelling option within its segment.
