BMW C 400 X and C 400 GT introduced
By CARSIFU | 20 August 2021KUALA LUMPUR: BMW Motorrad Malaysia has introduced the new BMW C 400 X and C 400 GT scooters that promises urban riding experience that prioritises comfort and safety, without compromising on its performance and riding dynamics.
The C 400 X comes with retail pricing (on-the-road, without insurance, and with BMW Motorrad Malaysia’s 3-Year Warranty and 3-Year Roadside Assistance Programmes) of RM44,500 and the C 400 GT at RM48,500.
The scooters get a revised brake system, EU-5 homologated single-cylinder drive with new E-gas feature, optimised engine management and centrifugal clutch.
The Automatic Stability Control also sees further optimisation, along with a new illumination design in the seat storage compartment, and USB charging equipment.
The C 400 X retains its light manoeuvrability as a mid-sized scooter with the V-shaped trim components, upright proportions, a front mudguard, and the clear, graphic separation of the painted trim components.
The large asymmetric LED headlight also equips the C 400 X, along with the Daytime Running Light –now available as standard to the model.
Meanwhile, the C 400 GT reigns in the maxi scooter segment and gets LED lighting technology and can be instantly identified by the aerodynamically designed twin LED headlight with now-standard Daytime Running Light.
The ergonomically designed seat guarantees a comfortable as well as confident seating position.
Featuring a separate rider backrest and integrated footboards, the C 400 GT also retains its high windshield for everyday practicality and touring suitability.
The ingenious storage concept with Flexcase now features optimised lighting under the seat bench for both the new models to improve comfort significantly.
The lighting now illuminates from above, instead of the sides, for even better clarity.
In addition to the 12-volt onboard socket, the front right storage compartment is now equipped with a USB charging socket as well.
Both models are powered by an efficiency-optimised single-cylinder engine with a capacity of 350cc as the drive unit.
The engine outputs 34hp at 7,500rpm and 35Nm peak torque at 5,750rpm.
The models employ power transmission through a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) gearbox including a torsional drivetrain swing arm with minimum vibration.
Their double-disc brake system at the front now offers a more stable and clearly defined pressure point, as well as improved roll-back behaviour of the brake pistons.
Both models are also equipped with an instrument cluster in the form of a 6.5-inch full-colour TFT screen.
Together with the advanced BMW Motorrad Multi-Controller offering integrated operation, it allows the rider to access vehicle and connectivity functions.
Effortless navigation by means of arrow-based navigation is also available through the BMW Motorrad Connected App.
The advanced Keyless Ride feature now equips both models as standard, offering transponder activation for the steering lock, ignition, fuel-filler flap and anti-theft device, all in one vehicle key.
The C 400 X is available in the new Black Storm (Style Triple Black), while the C 400 GT arrives in three paint finishes of new Black Storm (Style Triple Black), Callisto Grey, and Alpine White.
With the Financing Plan from BMW Group Financial Services Malaysia, ownership of the C 400 X and C 400 GT start from RM550 and RM590 per month, respectively based on balloon financing estimates of an 80% loan on a 4-year tenure.
Owners can also enjoy additional benefits with the industry-leading Premium Engine Oil Inclusive, Service Inclusive and Warranty Extension Programmes by BMW Motorrad Malaysia.
