The new BMW C 400 X.

The new BMW C 400 X: the dynamic BMW Motorrad mid-size scooter
for maximum riding fun in an urban setting.

BMW Motorrad established its new product category in the area of
urban mobility in 2011 with the debut of the BMW C 600 Sport and the
BMW C 650 GT as premium vehicles for the maxi scooter segment. Now
BMW Motorrad goes one step further and presents the new BMW C 400 X
a premium vehicle for the mid-size scooter segment.

But the new BMW C 400 X is not just a smart mid-size scooter
designed to avoid constant urban traffic congestion and allowing
faster movement through the traffic jungle from A to B: the new
mid-size scooter also demonstrates that urban mobility can be a lot
of fun, too. In short, the new BMW C 400 X transforms a ride into
the city or to the workplace from a lowlight to a highlight: in fact
instead of choosing a sensible shortcut, the rider will be tempted
to take the long way round
purely for the extra
riding fun.

Powerful, efficiency-optimised single-cylinder engine combined
with CVT transmission, vibration decoupling and ASC.

In terms of drive technology, the BMW C 400 X provides this new
dynamic access to the urban environment by means of a newly
developed efficiency-optimised single-cylinder engine with an output
of 34 hp (25 kW). 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
and therefore maximum comfort. Automatic Stability Control ASC
ensures increased safety during acceleration, especially on slippery surfaces.

Rugged tubular steel frame, telescopic fork and
high-performance brake system with ABS as standard.

In the chassis area, the new BMW C 400 X sports a rugged tubular
frame made of steel. Suspension and damping are taken care of by a
telescopic fork at the front and two spring struts at the rear. The
set-up and spring travel have been selected so as to ensure that
sporty, dynamic riding fun is combined with a very high level of
comfort. Supreme brake performance and outstanding safety are
provided by the twin disc brake at the front in conjunction with a
single disc brake at the rear, along with ABS as standard.

LED lighting technology as standard and
BMW Motorrad Connectivity as an ex-works option.

In addition to standard lighting technology in highly luminous
LED technology, the new BMW C 400 X also offers a range of
highlights in the area of connectivity which is new to the segment.
A multifunctional instrument cluster with 6.5‑inch full-colour TFT
screen is available as an ex-works option, for example. In
conjunction with the further advanced BMW Motorrad Multi-Controller
offering integrated operation, this means the rider can access
vehicle and connectivity functions quickly and without being
distracted from what is happening on the road. In addition to the
convenience of being able to use the phone and listen to music
during travel, there is also the benefit of effortless navigation by
means of a practical system of arrows.

Modern, innovative design with excellent wind and weather
protection as well as an ingenious storage concept including Flexcase.

In terms of its styling, the new BMW C 400 X can be instantly
identified as a member of the BMW Motorrad C family: its appearance
is modern, future-oriented and functional. Viewed from the front,
the dominant feature is its iconically styled LED headlight with
distinctive daytime riding light design (optional) in the form of
fibre optic elements. This sets the new BMW Motorrad mid-size
scooter clearly apart from its competitors, giving it a particularly
sporty and dynamic look. With excellent wind and weather protection,
a carefully conceived storage concept comprising two integrated
compartments and the Flexcase under the comfortable, single-section
seat, the new mid-size scooter offers everything that is needed to
meet the demands of everyday practicality and touring suitability.

Attractive paint finishes for distinctive character qualities.

There is a choice of two paint finishes for the new BMW C 400 X.
Zenith Blue metallic gives the new BMW C 400 X a pronounced modern
appearance and underscores its athletic properties. In the paint
finish Alpine White non-metallic, the distinctive styling of the new
BMW C 400 X comes into its own, making it look more technical,
compact and light. The contrasting single seats in grey-black or
red-black emphasise the BMW Motorrad mid-size scooter’s dynamic
appearance, as well as underscoring its additional strengths of
agility, easy accessibility and effortless handling.
