WilkerCSBD Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 BMW Motorrad has updated its mid-size scooters and they now feature an engine upgraded to Euro 5 emissions regulations. Their technological umbrella also grows with the addition of systems such as optimized automatic stability control. Presented in 2017 and 2018, respectively, the BMW C 400 X and C 400 GT, were the German brand's bet to enter the disputed segment of mid-size scooters. Of course, with a totally premium proposal. Thus, the C 400 X stood out for its abilities in the city, while the C 400 GT emerged as the most suitable variant for longer journeys. BMW C 400 X Sport With its future business life in mind, BMW Motorrad has introduced a number of improvements to both models, as well as some technical optimizations and new colors and finishes. And, aesthetically, both are going to benefit from two new colors and a specific finish. For the C 400 X, they are offered in the colors Blackstorm metallic and Granite Gray metallic, as well as the Sport finish (Blackdtorm metallic and Matte blue). In the case of the C 400 GT, it is available with Alpine White, Kallisto Greu metallic or Triple Black finish (Blackstorm metallic with matte stripes). Engine updated to Euro 5 regulations BMW C 400 GT Triple Black The single cylinder with 34 hp at 7,500 rpm and a torque of 35 Nm at 5,750 rpm has been upgraded to Euro 5 emission standards. It uses a CVT gearbox and a torsionally rigid swingarm with an innovative arm bearing. oscillating to minimize vibrations. Added to this is an electronic throttle and an electrically operated butterfly valve, as well as a new engine management system. Other optimizations include a modified catalyst matrix and liner, a broadband oxygen sensor, modifications to the cylinder head, a new sensor on the generator cover, adapted wiring, optimized springs for the centrifugal clutch and a modified idle control. . The idle regulator in the air box has been omitted and idle control is now done via a throttle valve bypass and swirl system. Self-regulating automatic stability control BMW C 400 GT During the technical review, the new C 400 X and C 400 GT have also received an optimized Automatic Stability Control (ASC). Instead of the previous manual recalibration (eg when changing tires), the new system now features an automatic radio calibration. In addition, the new ASC is designed for significantly lower friction values than before. When driving, this is noticeable in a more responsive response and a significant increase in control comfort, especially on wet and slippery surfaces. Now it is no longer necessary to disable ASC. The cycle part has also been revised. Specifically, the brake team, which now mounts new double disc calipers at the front. To this is added optimized lighting for the storage compartment, in which a USB charging socket has been added (it also has the traditional 12V one).
