OVERVIEW

Love them or loathe them, underbone category motorcycles, or kapchais as they are popularly known, are pretty much a part of the local transport landscape. Priced to sell, and popular with both young and old riders, kapchais are ubiquitous, and will not be disappearing anytime soon.

With the exception of Suzuki, who ceased assembly operations of small-displacement bikes earlier this year, every major manufacturer has a 125 cc category underbone bike. The market demand for kapchais cannot be denied, as many use them for short trips in and around urban areas and kampungs.

To that end, SYM Malaysia brought in to the market the Sport Rider 125i. Now, it should be noted that kapchais are really, immensely popular amongst a certain segment of the riding public, due to its low buy-in point and ease of use.
