A turbocharged scooter? Why not! At EICMA 2026, SYM showcases not only its latest production models but also its vision for the future. Leading the way is the Maxsym Turbo, an experimental maxi-scooter concept that brings forced induction into the world of sporty two-wheelers.
It's a clear indication of how much the Taiwanese brand has evolved, with an increasingly comprehensive range of motorcycles and scooters.
Domenico Lo Iacono takes us through the latest developments and discusses the company's impressive performance in Italy. According to SYM, sales have grown from approximately 9,000 units in 2019 to a projected 26,000 by the end of 2026, while market share has increased from 6% to 11%.
The biggest surprise at the SYM stand is undoubtedly the Maxsym Turbo, a concept currently under development that explores the potential of turbocharging in maxi-scooters.
The idea is to offer an alternative to conventional twin-cylinder scooters, combining impressive performance with a distinctly sporty character.
For now, this is not a production-ready model but rather a technological showcase, allowing SYM to gauge public interest and explore possible future developments.
Adventure scooters are becoming an increasingly important market segment, and SYM is responding with a broader lineup.
Joining the existing ADX 125 and ADX 300 is the new ADX 200, expected around March 2027 and equipped with a liquid-cooled engine.
The ADX TG 400 also receives an update, retaining its distinctive technical layout with a centrally mounted engine, chain final drive, rear monoshock and 50:50 weight distribution.
New equipment includes dual dashcams, enhanced connectivity, spoked wheels, protective crash bars and an integrated top case, making the model even more appealing to riders looking for versatility and touring capabilities.
SYM also introduces important updates in the high-wheel scooter segment, particularly popular in Italy.
The new HD 125 and HD 200 feature more refined and elegant styling, developed with significant input from the company's Italian subsidiary.
The most important technical innovation is found on the HD 200, powered by a new liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine producing approximately 16 hp. Connectivity features and practical everyday equipment complete the package.
Growing sales also mean greater responsibility when it comes to customer service.
SYM has therefore expanded its Italian spare parts warehouse from 1,000 to 3,000 square meters, aiming to improve support for the increasing number of scooters on the road.
The company also continues to promote its 4+4 package, offering four years of manufacturer warranty and four years of roadside assistance.
With experimental concepts and new production models, EICMA 2026 confirms SYM's growing ambitions. The company is moving beyond its traditional image as an affordable urban scooter manufacturer, developing a comprehensive range designed for increasingly diverse mobility needs while maintaining its focus on value for money, quality and equipment.
