The DRGBT won the 2024 Red Dot Design Award, making history as the first Taiwanese motorcycle to receive this prestigious honor.
As a flagship of SYM’s Spirit Beast Series, its design draws inspiration from the Oriental Dragon, utilizing streamlined contours and bionic aesthetics to evoke power and speed. The silhouette harmonizes visual tension with aerodynamic efficiency, perfectly capturing the preferences of the younger generation and representing SYM’s ultimate interpretation of high-performance sports scooters.

SCOPE OF WORK
專案內容
The high-beam lens is cleverly concealed within the layered panels, drawing focus to the position lights to create a sense of premium mystery. These lights utilize a geometric array to interpret the aggressive image of dragon fangs, seamlessly blending bionic inspiration with modern technology. On the sides, the aerodynamic winglets are inspired by dragon whiskers, utilizing contrasting finishes to add depth and sophistication to the front profile.
Another bionic highlight is the tail light and brake light system, which mimics the flickering flames of a dragon's breath, creating a powerful and aggressive visual impact. The floating tail structure gives the DRGBT a compact, sporty silhouette reminiscent of a geared motorcycle.
The design also evolves a classic feature—the integrated rear grab rail—seamlessly merging functionality with the bodywork for a bold, streamlined look that resonates with the self-expression of young riders. Finishing touches include 3D accent fins and a full-wrap under-cowl painting, ensuring the rear profile is rich in both detail and premium texture.
The dashboard interface also integrates bionic design. Without compromising readability, the tachometer uses the imagery of a undulating dragon spine that gradually reveals itself as the RPM increases. This interface stays true to the vehicle's core design philosophy—defying conventions and embracing a specialized, bold character.
