The motorcycle looks rough, but has a slim body, with LED headlight, front and rear steel wheel rim, and front 19-inch and rear 17-inch hubs.

SYMNH-T200 adopts bird’s beak design, with a strong off-road temperament. Above the bird’s beak is the vertical LED headlight with neat lines presenting a sense of science and technology. The upper windshield is much smaller than it was on the concept, which makes it less practical.

The front fork is the vertical type shock absorber that has a long stroke for off-road riding purpose, which even provide good comfort on highways. The rear suspension is a four-link shock absorber. The tire size is front 100/90-R19 and rear 130/80-R17. The larger front wheel provides a larger crossing angle, and the steel wire wheel rim enhances the function of shock absorption as well as the off-road style. It also has front and rear disc brakes and double channel ABS.

The motorcycle is powered by a 183cc water-cooled four-stroke SOHC 4-valve single-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 13.5kw and a maximum torque of 15.7N•m.

At the same time, DRG is also equipped with SYM’s three zero technologies, i.e. the Zero-Resistance Starter & Generator System, Automatic Start-Stop System and Anti-Lift Engine Hanger System. And the ALEH (Anti-Lift Engine Hanger System) can inhibit the swing and fadeaway caused by change of gravity center during acceleration, and improve the three axis balance of front fork, frame hanger, and rear suspension, keeping the motorcycle in good posture during acceleration and while exiting a bending to get a better riding experience.

It is designed with a front positive shock absorber and adjustable rear shock absorber. The front and rear disc brakes are provided with Bosch 10 ABS. The 135kg DRG158 also features easy and flexible handling.
