SYM Malaysia marked the launch of its latest offering in the form of the SYM Sport Rider 125i earlier today. The new cub or kapchai model was launched in the firm’s base in Penang during a special press launch ceremony.

The SYM Sport Rider 125i marks several firsts for the Taiwanese brand’s Malaysian arm. It is the marque’s first cub model equipped with electronic fuel injection, and this model also makes it regional and global debut here in Malaysia as well.

Assembled locally in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, the SYM Sport Rider 125i underpins a typical backbone chassis construction. It features a sporty modern design that’s complemented with LED daytime running lights and stylish cast alloy wheels.

All of which is sent to the rear wheel through a four-speed constant mesh transmission – typical of most cubs in this size and segment. Primed on board too is a slightly larger than average 4.2-litre fuel tank.
