- After seeing the prototype 18 months ago Sym's small adv scooter is finally here and I put it through it's paces in every possible way. It's an interesting machine and very well suited not for just city riding but also for long distance touring the SYM ADX 125 is a top notch scooter from Sym. Although a bit pricy is certainly makes up for it in features

The best review so far. EU is so lucky to have this cute scoot right now. We're eagerly waiting in Asia, in the Philippines. It's only available in China with 150cc.
The scooter specialist is kicking in! Everyone, keep calm and pay attention🤓🤓🤓
You're making me blush and thank you for the compliments :D
Subscribed. You do very good reviews in very understandable english. You show tiny details journalists never show (battery slot for tender, emergency starting). Very very thorough.
Thank you. I always try to go into as much detail as possible 😁
Foarte calitative video-urile si foarte bine explicate in diferite conditii.Multumim frumos,succes mai departe.
Multumesc :)
Another awesome review. This machine covers all the bases. Powerful engine for 125cc (13 bhp water cooled) with a 15L fuel tank that is off road capable without rattling plastics. SYM really came out kicking butt with this machine. lol @ whoopty do's🤣and "idiots like me." You have taught me a whole new appreciation for scooters. I am lovin the hell out of my HD300.
😁😁😁
Hello Alex! A truly extraordinary test. I liked that very much. Top.
Thank you! 😁
Azi am descoperit canalul si pot sa zic ca am vizionat deja destul de multe vidioclipuri si sunt chiar incantat . Good job and keep it up !
Mulțumesc 😁
Lots to like about this lil scooter. Thanks, Alex. Convenience and technology make scooters more and more appealing.
And you don't have to wave passing motorcycles cuz bikers look down on scooter riders
- YAY, less tribal idiocy to worry about!
Some bikers look down but a lot of them wave back.
Hi Alex thank you for another great video, hope you are keeping well. this 125 scooter is wonderful in every way, great to see you test riding it off roads and into the hills etc. well worth buying if your into off road riding for sure.
It is a bit of a special thing, people will compare it just with regular 125's for city commuting but they are missing the point. This was made for touring.
This scooter is poor man's Honda ADV. They shamelessly stealed design.
@@alphaomega9511 i see nothing wrong in that, it's not like the design is trademarked
@RideWithAlex then, why would you pay for the designer if you could just copy Honda, BMW, Yamaha. And it is protected, Audi recently won law suit against Nio, you have numerous examples.
@@alphaomega9511 Honda can go ahead a sue SYM but tbh they are very different designs
This is an incredible presentatlon. No doubts left. This is the bike ı'm searching for. Thank you. 👏👏👏
My pleasure! 😁
Clipurile tale sunt foarte informative. Și vorbești bine engleza. Abia aștept să-mi iau și eu ADX, zilele astea se va întâmpla, odată cu pornirea programului RABLA. Mai mult aștept legea 125B. Poate faci și ceva recomandări de accesorii, gen încălzitoare de mâini, topcase, parbriz mai mare. Felicitări pentru canal!
Momentan nu avem nimic pentru ADX, nu au aparut accesorii dar vor aparea. Ca si topcase daca vrei sa faci ture lungi Givi B45 e evolutia la top case-ul E43 ce il am pe BMW si l-am folosit in tura de anul trecut pana in Georgia pe scuter, dar Givi inca nu a facut suport de top case pt ADX.
hope i can own one soon... very nice review, that's just what we need. thanks pops
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Good presentation, attention to details , liked it 😊 kudos to you !
Thank you! 😁
i like your videos and how your descripe every thing every small details and i found what i want here at your channel greetings from Egypt
Glad you like them!
Very good review! Got all the answers after this video. Keep going😁👌
Awesome! Thank you!
I bought this bike. It’s incredible. Having so much fun.
You've given a really spot on, in depth review, thanks.
I'm actually thinking of trading my 8 years old Citycom S for this one.
I know it's a downgrade, but the thing is for the past 3 years I use the scooter to commute in the city of Athens only from the southern suburbs and that's it. No speeds over the 100km/h, heavy city traffic and a lot of traffic lights and with gas prices today taping the 2€ per litre, I really think this is sufficient enough
A reduction in power but it will get the job done nicely
The moment the Cruisym@ 300cc will have the same dash and key system, I am getting one :) Great reviews btw. Thx.
Was very nice review ! Thanks man 🙏
Thank you :D
Hello Alex, very insightful &detailed video as always.
Speaking of adv scooters, have you seen or driven the Longjia XDV 300? Here in Greece it is known as Daytona Virtus 300 imported by Gorgolis.
Would really like to hear your thoughts on it, as there seemingly no info on it other than tech specs on TH-cam.
No, it's not available here, at least at the moment.
Danke für soviel Infos. Sehr schönes Video 👍👍👍🤓
Thank you!
@@RideWithAlex bitte sehr sehr gern.. Grüße Frank aus BERLIN.. 🙂
Ordered the ADX today. It comes in november.
Je suis sur le point d'en acheter un. J' espère que je ne serais pas deçu. J' avais jusqu'à present un vieux Majesty de chez yamaha. Merci pour votre vidéo et vos explications très claires.Superbe video ...BRAVO
wow i realy Underestimated this ADX by its looks but the Features are Unbelievable love the full throttle RPMs and the Stability there .
great Dash too
A master pice for this price from SYM. 👍
And a master video from you 👍👍
Thank you!
Great video, Alex!! as always!
Do you know if SYM plans for a 300cc in the future? thanks
I don't know, my 2 biggest wishes from Sym now are and ADX250 and a Cruisym400. We will see EICMA 2023 what they bring to the table because I need a new touring machine, the BMW is nice but I'm still not clicking with it for really long trips, it's just to big and too heavy and cumbersome for what I do on trips. And ADX250 would fit the bill beautifully.
Great video, thanks ! Loving that bad boy 😀
Glad you enjoyed it
Great content! ❤ from the Philippines
Thank you!
Bro you are the best.. Greetings from Serbia!❤
Thank you! 😁
Best review from TH-cam Bravo 👏
Thabk you very much 😁
@@RideWithAlex n-ai pentru ce, continuă cu proiectul 👌🏻
Well done, my friend. You made a very good Video.
Thank you! 😁
🎉🎉🎉daca era în romana înțelegeam tot😊, bun rew felicitări dar aștept pt achiziție e350 zontes😁 așa au spus colegii tai că la anu ajunge și la noi...bafta
Despre E350 eu personal nu am nici o invformatie.
Best ever review of Adx 125. Tx
Thank you!
Hi Alex what a great review that was 😃, really enjoyed watching it and you covered everything I wanted to know. I doubt anyone will do a better review than this one of this great little scoot. If I was the boss at SYM I'd be sending you a brand new one free of charge for your efforts of filming it,and as commission for all the scooter's they will sell as a result of this 😄, let's hope they read this comment!!!😅, well done.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed they read it :))
9 months late to the party, but was it ever fun! Yes, you are so lucky to ride many different kinds of bikes / scooters. But what sets you apart is that you can enjoy a small cc as well as a big bore ride. There can be no doubt you give many people ideas about a 125cc they never entertained before? We don’t have the 125 ADX in the States, (oh well)? Best to you, Rola (Oregon / USA)
You have some good small bore offerings in the states like the Honda ADV 160
@@RideWithAlex Agree, but it’s fun seeing a wider assortment of what we don’t have here when you present them.👍🏻
Stiu care va fi urmatorul scuter. De la nhx la adx.Pentru Atena (unde locuiesc acum) si imprejurimi este absolut perfect.
Thanks for your review!
My pleasure!😁
@@RideWithAlex I think about new bike , here in UK prices are exceptional. But I need to choose between this ADX and Honda sh mode. Just to commute to and from work, and a bit of Uber after hours :D had 2014 Honda Vision for an about one year and had no issues, but my mate got SYM scooter as well and they are really good for that money. Hard decision… 😁
@@tomaszpakua2457 the adx is miles above the sh125
Very Enjoyable & Interesting Review 👌
Thank you! 😁
Great explanation of the bike. Now i'm only havo to make a decision between the ADX or the Cruisym Alpha.. I have only one question... Does the Cruisym have the start/stop system to ?
No, the cruisym doesn't hace start stop.
Thanks for the great review, I have a question, could you please tell me if you can connect your smartphone with the scooter? It has a mirror option and can you see on the TFT screen for example Google maps?
The one we got in Europe doesn't have that feature, i don't know why. Check your local dealer.
Just bought it. Absolutelly brilliant scooter. Looking much much better than on photos or videos.
It's so good in person 😁
Hi. How tall are you? I am 185 cm and thinking if it is suitable for me. Is it small for me? I don't want to look ridiculous on this motorcycle.
@@hakklo go to a showroom and sit on it. I'm 175cm tall
Sorry Alex, but you can fit a full integral helmet...upside down. Great video, my friend !
Do you know if this will be available in the U.S.?.. I've looked it up but couldn't find any info.
Loved the vid! Thanks!
No ideea :(
Salut Alex, vreau sa imi cumpar si eu un scuter de 125cc, si review-urile tale ma ajuta foarte mult. O intrebare am pt tine, daca se poate, pt folosinta zilnica si iesiri scurte in weekend ce recomanzi : Sym ADX sau Zontes 125M? Foarte bune clipurile. Kepp up the good work.
ADX-ul, am mai multa incredere in el si nu doar pentru drumuri scurte, ci pentru drumuri lungi si foarte lungi pe langa oras si treburile cotidiene.
Bv Alex. Daca aproba legea cu 125, o sa fie hit scuterul asta. La fel si cruisym de 125. 🎉 eu inca ma documentez. Am ajuns la joymax z 300. Poate iesi si cu asta.
Joymax de 300 este 99% identic cu cruisym si am iesit destul cu Cruisym. E bun de drumuri lungi dar Cruisym este un pic mai bun pt drum lung. Vezi pe site ca am comparatie unde explic exact diferentele intre Cruisym si Joymax si fiecare pentru ce e.
Nice work. Can you please do a review on sym fnx 125? Much appreciated
Thank you, unfortunately we don't have the FNX in my country so I can't review it.
Buen video, donde has comprado el soporte para el movil?

Did you find the clock on yours resets to 00:00 every ride ...ive tried adjusting it to correct time then when you turn off and on again its back to 0000 again .... maybe a software update needed.... great review
Cheers mark
Nope, the clock stayed at the correct hour.
Comprei uma adx e estou adorando 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Congratulations!!
Super Alex Brother!
Thank you
Amazing review! Just one thing, i think the king of the range is the honda cb 125 f
Hmm, havent range tested that one.
Driving the ADX since thursday.
Awsome!
ביקורת מלאה ויפה כל הכבוד❤
Thank you!
Greetings from Turkey, we, as maniacs, are ready for adventures with this scooter.
You are doing a great job! Keep up! I need some help here.. I can't decide which scooter should I buy, Daytona Mista 125 or Sym ADX 125? I think you've driven both so any advice would be great!
I would go for the ADX over the Mista
@@RideWithAlex and what about mista 150
Good review 👋
Thank you! 😁
Mforce Malaysia just launched the 150 for the Malaysian market 3 days ago! 1st April 2024. We shall see how it goes.. Called Husky 150!!
Awesome, you guys got the 150cc version 😁
Very interesting Alex.
Greetings from Greece.
Thank you! 😁
@@RideWithAlex you welcome.
What about the new models of 2024 ? We are waiting for the rewies...
@@bigmikeshooter and I'm waiting to see them 😂. Maybe in the summer - autumn.
Alex. First of all, greetings. I got to know you through your Symphony ST videos. I really wanted to buy that scooter at one point, but after seeing the ADX, my mind changed. (I have watched your all of 3 videos about ADX)
Despite there being dozens of videos on TH-cam, I haven't seen anyone ride and film as long as you do with the ADX.
I have just one question for you.
As someone who has traveled tens of thousands of kilometers with the ST, do you find the ADX more comfortable or the ST? (In terms of seat comfort, suspension comfort, overall quality/comfort)
Hip and back pain are crucial for me. I'm 180cm tall, so the correct seating position is important for me.
Which one can I travel longer distances with?
What are your thoughts on this?
Thank you so much your answer and videos.
Greatings from Netherland
The ADX is much better for long distance travels in every way. Go for it. If the ADX was available when I bought my ST I would have gone for the ADX for sure.
@@RideWithAlex Thank you very much for your answer.
125cc may be underpowered in some places, but now it may be the cheapest method of travel (excluding hitchhiking :)).
So, after traveling all over the Netherlands with this scooter, I may consider going to other European countries with a more powerful scooter.
When i ride it i can't strech my legs and i can not put them at the front footrest. It's ideal for people 175cm MAX, of course if you are taller like me you can still ride it but it's not comfortable.
Hello sir Thanks for this great reviews.about this interesting machine.
My pleasure 😁
Hello Alex - I really appreciate your Videos - many thansk! I am very interested in the ADX but - not as an 125 as an 150. I drove the 125 with my grilfriend - want to use it for commuting to work and for trips. Therefore I thought the 150 with additional 3 PS (so almost 15) will be the better fit. Can you give me a hint if this model will be available somehow for me in Germany? Importing or buying in Europe / outside Germany? Many thanks!
It's curently only available in China, and i have no ideea if it will ever be available in the EU. It's curently not euro 5 complient so can't be sold here.
Many thanks for the answer @@RideWithAlex I had the idea as I will be in Hongkong by end of month to by and ship one - but with no Euro 5 ..not a good idea! 🙂
I've got a plan to buy it. And go around to Italy from Poland through Slovakia Hungary Croatia ant Italy by the cruise .
Your videos are very good. İ have a question, is adx really good and strong for off road? Thanks.
I took it for some decently serious off road in my road trip video with it and it handled it really well.
Thank you. You are a honest guy. İ am trying to decide between jetx and adx.
I really love riding scooters
I own an 87 cc, 4 stroke small scooter ,🥳
Salutare Alex, ce casca folosesti si cum se comporta la viteze mai.mari?
Acum am in Scorpion Exo-920 Evo. Nu stiu daca mai gasesti. Pentru pretul ei e foarte ok, destul de linistita si comfortabila dar are ceva greutate in special cu camera pe ea si toate cele.
Merci à vous !
Foarte tare "jucaria". Si da, daca nu esti obsedat de viteza, atunci poti face calatorii lungi cu el!!
New SYM ADX 400 tg at the 2023 EICMA. Seen the first images on facebook. And it looks great.
The video should go live in a couple of hours with both the new ADX models!
@@RideWithAlex Looking forward
You caught the man in the act. 30:58 😂😂😂
Young love 😂
Salut Alex!!!
Abia acum te-am descoperit si ma înclin in fata ta! Bravo! Ajută-mă, te rog, sa ma decid😅. Sym adx 125 sau Aprilia sr gt 125?
Sr gt este un scuter de oras puțin înălțat, adx este un scuter cu adevărat gândit sa faci off road cu el (știu ca suna ciudat) dacă vrei un 125 de oraș oricare din cele doua e bun, dacă ai nebunia sa pleci sa explorezi munți cu un scuter de 125 atunci ADX-ul
@@RideWithAlex îți mulțumesc! Și eu înclinam tot spre adx. Acum m-ai convins.
will we have a bigger brother, like a proper competition for Honda ADV 350? For me this one looks better
I have no information about a bigger brother but I really hope they make a 200 or a 250
Good job 👍
Thank you!
hi from the UK. I'm interested in this, especially as a delivery rider I would love the 15L tank., I know these Chinese-made scooters are known for bad reliability compared to the likes of Honda etc, even right now on my Honda Forza 125cc I had 40k miles with no issues at all. my question is, how long do you think the longevity would be on one of these ideally?
It all depends how you service it. I've seen SYM going over 100.000km (62.000miles) without issues but serviced correctly.
@@RideWithAlex Thanks for your quick reply. This scooter has some really unique features I can't look away from, as for me, I always maintain my bikes and scooters as per the manual with the best oils and air filters, motul, k&n etc. Definitely my next scooter I'm looking to get maybe later this year or early next year. (Subscribed, you deserve more)
Sym are Taiwanese made. They do not suffer from the same reliability issues as Chinese made bikes. Sym are in fact a very reliable brand.
Hey man,
How’s the leg room compared to bmw c400x ? I really like the adx125 but I’m worried about leg room, I’m 193cm.
About the same.
What is the model of the tyres? Thank you for buying it because it's a new model, knowing it has the brand itself
Tyres are Kenda, and i didn't buy it, this is a press bike and I had it for testing a couple of days and took it on a road trip, video of the road trip will be live on the channel tomorrow!
how does it compare with other ADV scooters i guess the only contenders are the Honda's 350 and 750.
you can't compare a 125 with a 350 or a 750.
Thanks from Turkey
🤗🇹🇷
Крутой обзор !! Пускаю слюни ожидая мой adx !!! Всё в чём сомневался про этот скутер убедился что он соответствует !! Спасибо за то что развеял мои сомнения !!! 🤝🤘🇬🇷
My pleasure :)
@@RideWithAlex я заказал чёрный , думаю будет красиво смотреться !!! 💪💪💪💪
Brilliant video AL. 4k sterling in the uk so a bit pricey but yes, am all for the knuckle head riding :)
I was sure I wasn't the only knucle head here 😂
@@RideWithAlex seems to me you have a "following" hehehe
Only gone and bought a new sym ADX :) and they give a full tank of fuel with it. happy days
not sure if you have noticed, but there is a picture of a camera on the rear plastic fairing just above the number plate. Any ideas why this is there? optional kit?
@@minimad8793 not opțional kit, from what I understand it's a place where SYM recommends mounting the dash cam style system you can buy online.
Hi, nice Reviews here on your chanel! In the next weeks i will buy a scooter for me. I'm 1.83m tall and plan to do tours outside of the city. Would you recommend the ADX or the Jet X in terms of handling and driving fun?
Greetings from Germany 😃
You have to sit on it and try it but I would recommend the ADX
@@RideWithAlex Thx! 👍🏻😊
A Very great review Alex!!!
Adx or Nmax for food delivery job?? Considering comfort, economy, low running costs and reliability.
I would get the ADX over the N-max every day
Salut un argument ar fi ideal. De de adz și nu nmax. Gen, greutate, fiabilitate, consum, etc..
@@ovidiuovidiu6168 argunente
- Bordul mult mai modern
- Sistemul keyless cu back-up cheie fizica
- Rezervorul de 15L
- Transmisa care este reglata pt viteza de croaziera la drum lung de 105-110km/h
- Suspensia spate mult mai sofisticata
- Spațiu mai mare sub sa
- Felul în care arata (asta e pus subiectiva)
- Pregătirea de off-road care include protecții și scuturi pe dedesubt și la tot ce înseamnă fire și mufe dar și toate carenele au dublul nr de prinderi cleme și șuruburi ca să nu zornăie plasticele când faci off-road
- Ghidon de moto pe care pot pune înălțător sau alte accesorii
La fiabilitate Sym e la același nivel cu honda yamaha kymco toți sunt pe acolo însă la Sym mai e de luat în calcul piesele un pic mai ieftine și la fel și manopera la service. As zice costuri de întreținere cam cu 15-20% mai mici realist vorbind.
Thanks for uploading this great review. Based on this video review, it seems this scooter beats its Japanese competition at a similar price point. Please correct me if I'm wrong?
I do think it kind of beats everything at this price point.
Agressive look but only if 150/160cc definitely best in class and magnet for buyers
For our legislation 125cc is perfect, although for me personally I would like the 150cc
Ti-a placut Liedl Hill climb? Am fost si cu dinkul pe acolo deci se califica si el la aventurier! Vrei aventura? Incearca pantele alea abrupte! Nht a urcat dar nu am mai avut curaj sa cobor!
Daca era al meu personal chiar le incercam :))
That key system is better then the honda adv150! Hate that keyless system
Sym adx 125 or daytona mista 150; and why. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Adx for the fuel tank and buit quality
Foarte fain canalul Alex, ai un nou abonat. Acum...sunt complet in...ceata!😊. Dupa ce am urmarit tura cu acest scuter, precum si turele su Symphony ST, prin toata lumea, asadar, dupa aceste experiente urmatite pe canal, ma gandesc ca poti face touring si cu un astfel de scuter. Daca am facut 290 km pe bicicleta in 22 ore, ma gandesc ca trecerea la o astfel de jucarie este un pas urias inainte. Am ramas uimit de consum, 2.76 lla suta!! Ma gandeam la achizitia unui M310 sau a unui E350, dar acum sunt pus pe ganduri. ADX-ul e un scuter bun la toate, iar viteza de croaziera de 100 este arhi suficienta!! Daca esti un tip mai...spartan, atunci poti renunta la confortul si viteza oferite de un maxiscuter.
Desigur, varianta ADX 300 ar fi varianta ideala...😊!
Imi poti spune, te.rog, cand se va vinde in Romania? Multumesc!
Pretul de vanzare va fi probabil de peste 6000 euro...
Adx 300 probabil undeva în iulie august va sosi, dar dacă vrei cum zici mai spartan și sa călătorești cu costuri minime adx 125 este ideal pt asta.
Nu am informație de preț dar probabil în jurul la 6000
@@RideWithAlex Da, mi se pare geniala varianta asta! Dar, noi, oamenii suntem fiinte "complexe", una gandim si alta facem:). Mai deliberez! Multumesc pt fb! Iti doresc sa ajungi la 500.000 abonati! Canalul are de toate, review-uri frumoase, calatorii frumoase, comentarii deosebite, asa ca...Este o placere sa asculti un om care gandesti si stie sa se exprime, si, care are ceba de spus. Mai rar in specia homo sapiens zilele astea...
Good Test
Thank you!
looks amazing, SYM scooters are good right?
My symphony ST has 45.000km and stil going strong. With proper maintance yes they are very good.
Solid toh sağlam 🎉❤
Ai auzit de Vieste 300 XDV de la Keeway? Stii ceva de Keeway ca fiabilitate? pare varianta mai puternica a ADX-ului si cu aceeasi greutate si dimensiuni (chiar si acelasi pret)
Nu am avut interacțiune cu keeway momentan, poate pe viitor.
Wish they could of got the 15hp max power for a 125cc
It's a bit stressed the engine at 15bhp
Thanks
I bet this would be great with a Malossi clutch
Never tried malossi things and I don't think they make anything for sym
thanks for the video I have a question I am 183 cm. Will the scooter fit me?
Yeah, you should be fine
I went to the shop and i have seen it and ride it. The plastics are almost the same as in symphony st. I didn't see anything amazing apart from the high price. It's nice and small.
I own a symphony st and they may feel like the same plastics but off road they dont rattle, and yes I took the ST off road
@@RideWithAlex the only reason for someone to buy it is the large fuel tank capacity! Apart from that the Daytona mista 125 is cheaper by 300 euro here and it's the same quality of plastics. The sym does not justify the price of adx 125 in any other way really. But yes it's a very nice looking scooter and certainly can go kind of off road if you want it no problem!
The right price here should have been 3300 euro maximum.
Sym ADX 125 or Daytona Mista 150? I live in a city with many bumpy roads and I ll use it for delivery imagine 80-100 kilometerts per day! I saw both of your videos and I think the best option is ADX 125. Which one would you suggest me?
Ive answered this in many comments, the ADX, I like it more.
Sorry bro I didnt read all comments too many! Thanks for your answer and gratz for the great videos keep up with it! @@RideWithAlex
Hello from İstanbul👋🏻 You tried both dayang adv 150 and sym adx 125.
i wanted to ask your opinion which one is better for you?
I like the ADX more than the Dayang adv 150.
