BMW has launched its latest bike aimed at the mid-sized super scoot sector – the funky-looking C 400 X.
The German company says that the new bike has a: “Powerful, efficiency-optimised single-cylinder engine combined with CVT transmission, vibration decoupling and ASC.”
The motor kicks out 34bhp. Power transmission is via a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) gearbox and a torsionally stiff drivetrain swing arm with innovative swing arm bearing for minimum vibration.
Automatic Stability Control ASC ensures increased safety during acceleration, especially on slippery surfaces.
The BMW CÂ 400Â X has a tubular steel frame. Suspension and damping are taken care of by a telescopic fork at the front and two spring struts at the rear. Brake performance is provided by the twin disc brake at the front in conjunction with a single disc brake at the rear, along with ABS as standard.
The bike gets LED lights as standard and there’s an instrument cluster with 6.5‑inch full-colour TFT screen which is available as an ex-works option. In conjunction with the BMW Motorrad Multi-Controller, this means the rider can access vehicle and connectivity functions quickly and without being distracted from what is happening on the road.

- Efficiency-optimised single-cylinder engine with a capacity of 350cc, high torque and CVT gearbox.
