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 C 400 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.
