SYM VF3I DILANCARKAN. KAPCAI PALING BERKUASA. 185CC, 6 SPEED & 17.7HP. RM7,988Other specs include a huge 7-litre fuel tank, all-round disc brakes (250mm front, 200mm rear), and contoured seat are all included in Sym’s latest ‘kapcai’. It was also mentioned that the 124kg bike is able to achieve a top speed of 155km/h. In the highly competitive world of the Malaysia underbone, or kapchai, market, getting a boost over your market rivals is hard, and SYM Malaysia just upped the ante with the 2018 SYM VF3i supercub, priced at RM8,467 for the standard model, and RM8,785 for the Special Edition. All prices include GST, but exclude road tax, registration and insurance.
This is a first in the market, as the biggest supercubs typically have 150 cc engines, and Malaysia is the first to see the VF3i. What this means is the VF3i carries a 33 cc advantage over its market rivals and as we all know, there is no replacement for displacement.
Displacing 183 cc from its liquid-cooled, SOHC, four-valve single, the VF3i produces a claimed 17.7 hp at 8,500 rpm and 15.3 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. Power for the Euro-3 compliant VF3i gets to the ground via a six-speed gearbox with wet-disc clutch.Rolling on 17-inch wheels, the VF3i carries a 90/80 tubeless tyre in front, and the rear wheel is shod in 120/70 rubber. Braking is done with a 250 mm diameter disc in front clamped by a dual-piston hydraulic calliper, the largest in its category, while the rear is stopped with a 200 mm diameter brake disc.
As for suspension, the VF3i uses conventional telescopic forks in front, with 80 mm of travel, while a non-adjuastable monoshock with 32 mm of travel props up the rear end. Fuel is carried in a 7-litre tank under the seat, giving some 171 km of range according to SYM.
For those who might wish to know, SYM claims the VF3i will show an indicated 155 km/h on the digital LCD speedometer, with engine speed shown on an analogue gauge. Lighting for the VF3i is LED all round, and the front cowl sports a pair of LED DRLs.The 2018 SYM VF3i weighs in at 124 kg, and comes in two colour options, Red and Blue, while the Special Edition comes in Matte Black. Availability of the VF3i in the Malaysia market will be from May at authorised SYM dealers.
Local market competition for the SYM VF3i comes from the Yamaha Y15ZR, priced at RM8,361 and the Honda RS150R at RM8,478. Another option is the Benelli RFS150i, which retails at RM7,407.This post has been edited by Perfect.Stranger: Apr 16 2018, 05:26 PM

QUOTE(terradrive @ Apr 16 2018, 03:55 PM) dude 155kmh seems too high my previous 20hp suzuki also hard to get 140kmh 16hp fz150 also topped around 130kmh bear in mind i’m using gps speed not meter one unless you sent your speedometer to SGS for calibration la even 36hp yamaha r25 only topped around 180kmh how come 17-18hp can get 155kmh? those modified lc135 that got 150-160kmh top speed dynoed at 19hp wheelhorsepower, should be 23-24hp at the crank. How I know? I asked tauke bike dyno near my house. those 155kmh are not gps published, its from the bike speedometer, by the gps ralat, it wud be 140-ish |

QUOTE(ImAn @ Oct 31 2018, 11:17 AM) hello there, my VF3i already clock 7000km today. running smoothly. best EO grade is 15w-50 and i recommend Ipone 15.5 or R4000RS, Rock Oil, Motul, Liqui Moly and PJ1. Just change to a bigger tyre, front 100/80, rear 130/70. Hows the Full throttle? Engine and gearing no problem when full throttle? Looking at its large piston, fuel consumption how? How about the long ride feel? Tq |
