Rider Profile

Best For	This maxi-scooter suits riders of any experience level thanks to its fully automatic CVT and approachable power delivery.
Purpose	It is built primarily for comfortable commuting and light touring rather than outright performance or adventure riding.
Rider Fit	At 800mm seat height and 215kg wet weight, shorter or less experienced riders may find it manageable but noticeably substantial at low speed maneuvers.
Character	It has a practical, easygoing personality, prioritizing smooth power delivery, storage, and wind protection over sportiness.
Not Ideal For	It is not a good fit for riders seeking off-road capability, aggressive cornering performance, or high-speed thrills.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 750mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2021 Sym SYM Maxsym 400, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
