Kymco XTOWN 300i

To begin with, the Taiwanese motorcycle brand has presented a really attractive and unique design with the Kymco XTOWN 300 Fi. The scooter has an elegant appearance and a sporty stance with the right amount of aggression added to its overall styling. The scooter has a large front fairing that comes with an aggressively designed mono LED headlight and LED daytime running lights. You also get a raised windshield to block the wind. 

The rear of the scooter is sleek and designed aerodynamically. It features an LED taillight with an ‘X’ design and LED turn signals. The instrument has a dual cluster that displays both the speed and the rev count. You also get to see a digital panel providing all useful and relevant data. 

Coming to the riding experience, the maxi touring scooter has been designed to deliver a superior and really comfortable ride. The seats are wide, comfortable and the seating posture is just perfect for longer journeys. The fuel capacity is 12.5 litres so you can travel quite a distance on a single fuel refill. 

The handle position is perfect for a touring scooter and offers great control over the vehicle. The scooter accelerates really quickly and is really stable at higher speeds as well. The scooter does not feel too heavy or light, with the weight being 181 kgs. The suspension setup is efficient and makes for added comfort. You can ride pretty smoothly over bumpy roads, thanks to the telescopic front forks and double swing rear suspension with 5-steps preload adjustments. 

Along with that, for added convenience and a great riding experience, you also get a larger underseat storage that can easily fit two helmets along with a waterproof cellphone charger. 

The engine speaks a lot about Kymco’s thought into a great and fun riding experience. The scooter is powered by a really powerful 276cc single-cylinder, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, SOHC gasoline engine. The engine can make a peak power of 23 hp at 8000 rpm and a peak torque of 23 Nm at 6500 rpm. The engine is mated to a really efficient and seamless Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system. 

The pair of this transmission and a capable engine offers a really great riding experience. The Fuel Injection system adds the punch to its performance and the electric starter makes the starting season proof.

Kymco has paid a lot of attention to ensure optimal riders’ safety with the XTOWN 300 Fi. The scooter comes with a 260 mm disc in the front and a 240 mm disc brake at the rear along with Bosch Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) for safe and stable braking. The tyres (120/80-14 in the front and 150/70-13 at the rear) are wide enough as well and the scooter has a wheelbase of 1545 mm, which makes it quite stable at high speeds. 

Kymco is known for offering premium scooters at affordable prices in the local Philippines market. The Kymco XTown 300 Fi is no exception to that. Not only does it come at an affordable price, but the maxi touring scooter is a really practical and all-inclusive package. While the fuel efficiency could improve, you surely have to compensate in some way for the excellent performance of the scooter. Anyone looking for the thrill of riding a bike but who prefers a scooter can buy XTown 300Fi without second thoughts.
