2026 SYM Joymax Z 300i

As an affordable GT scooter with a low step-through design in the 300 segment, the SYM Joymax Z 300i offers a rare combination: the 278 cc single produces 26 hp and 27 Nm, while the low 750 mm seat height makes it highly accessible. A tall windscreen, 12-liter tank, and traction control complete the touring package — at a price well below Japanese rivals.

Weaknesses appear in the cockpit: LCD instead of TFT and no smartphone connectivity. The small 14-inch wheels limit comfort on rough roads. Riders seeking value, reliability, and step-through convenience will find a solid everyday scooter without unnecessary complexity.

Competitors include the Yamaha XMAX 300, Honda Forza 350, and Kymco X-Town ST 250i.
