SYM Orbit: An Excellent Choice for the City
The SYM Orbit is a scooter specially designed for urban environments. It stands out for its sporty profile, contemporary design, and excellent stability—all combined with remarkable quality at an affordable price. Initially equipped with a 2-stroke engine and later with 4-stroke engines, this scooter is known for its reliability, and its automatic CVT transmission makes riding a breeze. The new SYM Orbit 2 model complies with Euro 4 standards and boasts extremely low fuel consumption.
It is worth noting that the Orbit has also been marketed in 125- to 150-cc versions, which are more geared toward intercity driving.
