MIT PRO TEAM x SYM Conquer Bonneville Salt Flats in the USA
Breaking 206 km/h! Showcasing Taiwan's Excellence to the World
The MIT PRO TEAM has recently pushed the limits on the iconic Bonneville Salt Flats in the United States, achieving a groundbreaking feat that highlights the exceptional performance of SYM engines. This milestone not only demonstrates the prowess of the TL508 engine but also embodies the spirit of “MIT – Made in Taiwan,” showcasing the ingenuity and craftsmanship of Taiwanese industry.
Following numerous tests and professional tuning, the stock TL508 engine's GPS top speed has been elevated from 140 km/h to an astonishing 206 km/h, setting a new record. F.A.R. brake discs played a crucial role in this achievement, delivering exceptional performance under high-altitude conditions, extreme temperature variations, and intense high-speed braking, ensuring consistent and reliable performance throughout the challenge.

Overcoming Challenges of High-Altitude Racing
The TL508 engine excelled in the harsh high-altitude desert, overcoming low air density, intense dust, and extreme temperatures. Through precise adjustments to the cooling, injection, and engine systems, the technical team optimized performance for Bonneville's unique demands. This achievement highlights Taiwan's innovation and commitment to delivering high-performance products globally
MIT Shines on the Salt Flats
The success of this challenge underscores Taiwan's exceptional industrial capabilities, perfectly embodying the essence of “MIT – Made in Taiwan.” Every modified part on the race motorcycle, including the F.A.R. brake system and components from other top Taiwanese brands, was designed and manufactured with precision and strict quality control, ensuring peak performance even under extreme conditions. The SA-EX Edition 260mm floating disc paired with a 275mm fixed disc delivered exceptional braking sensitivity and linear response, enabling precise control during high-speed cornering and emergency stops for smooth, stable performance.
