If you have any questions about the 2021 SYM Cruisym Alpha 300 drop them down here in the comments and I will answer them :D

[@user-zc7ru4wv4e]

Greetings from Greece !I am waiting for the second review of the cruisym!when will it be ready

[@RideWithAlex]

@@user-zc7ru4wv4e the riding part of the review will be tomorrow at 12:00 eastern European time :D (or in about 23 hours)

[@MegaMetalMan9]

Greetings from Greece again...I'd like your opinion for riders 2m tall...u suggest it or not? I'm afraid for the knees and the handlebar...thanks in advance

[@RideWithAlex]

@@MegaMetalMan9 if you don't fit on the cruisym you won't fit on any scooter from Sym. It has the most leg room in their entire line-up, go to a dealer and try to sit on it.

[@MegaMetalMan9]

@@RideWithAlex thanks a lot for the feedback👌

[@rolacook222]

Why is it I get the idea Sym learns something about their products every time you do a review on them?! Cheers, Rola (Oregon / USA)

[@TNP512]

The redesign of the front is the best out of all the bikes in the 300 class. Keep the videos coming…they’re great.

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you! 😁

[@MisterMisterija]

Wow. Great review. I am going to get the license in September and thought about Beverly 300HPE, but after this review I think I found scooter for me. Thanks mate! Regards from Serbia!

[@RideWithAlex]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nikmihprorock]

Jesi uzeo Sym 300 ? Ako jesi, kako si zadovoljan ? Potrosnja, kruzna brzina ? Pričaaaj 😂

[@MisterMisterija]

@@nikmihprorock jesam, prošle godine. Prešao oko 5000km sa njim. Prezadovoljan. Što se tiče potrošnje, ona je oko 3.5l (iskreno, nisam ni merio). Šta je kružna brzina? Najbrže sam išao 120km/h, ide dobro. Najbolji je između 80-100km/je. U gradu je mustra, brz, startan, upravljiv...

Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭

[@Samu300_]

Great video mate! Where are you making this video from? Cant't wait for next videos

[@RideWithAlex]

Glad you liked it :D. Bucharest, Romania is the location. Filming was kind of hectic I only had it for about 4-5 hours but I'm glad you enjoyed the result. 3 more videos to come on the cruisym and then I will start covering more of the new models from Sym.

[@7magkas]

great review dude...i am between this and kymco downtown 350i...here in greece,they have the same price..4,900...what would you recommend? ..Greetings from Athens

[@RideWithAlex]

First I would say go take a close look at both of them. And see which one you like more. For me I prefer the Sym. The seat is a 5 cm lower on the Cruisym and you have more of a cruiser position while riding, plus the windscreen is taller for touring. Also I don't like the dash on the Downtown with the huge clock in the middle. But the Downtown is not a bad scooter if it's priced equally to the Cruisym. They are both good scooters, it depends which one you like the most. In terms of design and comfort the Cruisym has it for me, it just looks so good from every angle. Sym have really gotten their design right for 2021 for al the new scooters that they launched this year. All of them look fresh and modern.

[@7magkas]

@@RideWithAlex yeah i agree with you,i like sym more...the only thing that i think about kymco,is that,is 4ps stronger than sym...By the way,thank you for your help

[@RideWithAlex]

To be honest in normal riding I doubt you can feel that 4ps difference

[@kyriakosantoniadis259]

Hello from greece , i am expecting mine to arrive at september, i have heard some say that it has a bad fuel economy. Whats your opinion on that?

[@RideWithAlex]

It should be around 4l/100km but it depends how agresive you ride. But normal riding should be around 4l/100km

[@kyriakosantoniadis259]

@@RideWithAlex thank you for your reply

[@resats]

Hi Alex, Thank you very much for your nice videos. I am writing from Cyprus. I got a new Sym Cruisym 300 i alpha which I expect to get it next week. Do we have any information if Sym Cruisym has CBS (Combined Breaking System)? I haven't come across such information anywhere. Thanks again !!!

[@RideWithAlex]

The Cruisym only has ABS. The front and rear brake are independent.

[@resats]

@@RideWithAlex Thank you so much for your prompt reply. That's what I thought but wasn't quite sure. I also have a JET 125 X, that one has CBS. Well, your videos have been really helpful for all of us. I have been watching them for years. Have a great weekend!!!

[@slobo_k.2106]

is it normal for front suspension to squeak over speed bumps? im not sure if i should bring it up to the dealer

[@RideWithAlex]

Have it checked out, forks do sometimes squeak.

[@MAJKL]

Hello, does Sym offers heated grips for this model as extra equipment?

[@RideWithAlex]

No, but the handlebars are standard 22m so heated grips like the Oxford ones work great.

[@MAJKL]

@@RideWithAlex thank you.

[@tasoslandos9244]

Hi, you haven't mentioned about bad shock absorbers...

[@RideWithAlex]

Haven't had an issue with them on the test.

[@a234fyeft2]

Hallo, kannst du mir etwas über die Größe des Kofferraums erzählen?

[@RideWithAlex]

Hello, there is enough space under the seat for 2 full size helmets. It's one of the biggest storage areas of any scooter on the market.

[@ari_jola8764]

Here in germany, SYM takes now (2022) 6650€ for the Cruisym 300. That's way too expensive, if you get a X-Max 300 or Forza 350 for the same Price, or the Downtown 350 for 650€ less.😢
