Why did SYM, once the undisputed leader, plummet to a mere 12.9% market share? Taiwan's motorcycle market is fiercely competitive, boasting an astonishing 14.65 million vehicles. But behind this prosperity lies the story of SYM, the former local giant, which experienced a dramatic fall from its peak to rock bottom, followed by a miraculous comeback.

This video will take you on an in-depth review of SYM's 70 years of trials and tribulations and its rebirth:

The Legend of the Beginning: From grinding light bulbs to becoming Honda's first global overseas partner, how did SYM usher in a new era for Taiwan's motorcycle industry?

The Crisis of the Dynasty: Family disputes over inheritance, Honda's withdrawal of investment, and the trap of diversified expansion after the second generation took over—why did SYM's market share plummet to a precarious 12.9%?

The Prince's Revenge and the Upheaval: How did Chang Hung-chia, the eldest son of Chang Kuo-an, join forces with Wu Ching-yuan to end SYM's 35-year reign at the industry-shaking shareholders' meeting in 2014? A remarkable comeback: After Wu Qingyuan and his son took over, how did they shave off the bloated old system, reclaim the throne with blockbuster models like the DRG and the all-new DRG, and end their rival's 22-year reign?

The story of manufacturing is never written by a single generation. SYM's rebirth is not just a brand's turnaround, but a microcosm of Taiwan's industrial history.
