C 400 GT

BMW C 400 GT (2025) dan BMW C 400 X (2025) Dilancarkan di Malaysia

BMW Motorrad Malaysia telah melancarkan model BMW C 400 GT (2025) dan BMW C 400 GT (2025) baharu.

Kedua-dua model premium ini adalah sebahagian daripada siri “C” dalam segmen “Urban Mobility” (Mobiliti Bandar) BMW Motorrad, di mana huruf “C” bermaksud “City” (Bandar). Siri ini juga termasuk model elektrik CE 02 dan CE 04.

Untuk menyegarkan ingatan, C 400 GT dilengkapi dengan fairing lengkap dan skrin yang besar, sesuai dengan gelaran “GT” (‘Gran Turismo/Grand Touring‘/Jelajah Unggul). Manakala C 400 X pula adalah versi yang lebih sporty (BMW menyebutnya sebagai ‘rugged‘/kembara) yang sesuai untuk menempuh kesesakan lalu lintas dan selekoh.

Benjamin Nagel, Pengarah Urusan BMW Group Malaysia, berkata, “Segmen Urban Mobility merupakan segmen kedua terbaik bagi BMW Motorrad Malaysia pada tahun 2024, hanya di belakang segmen Adventure kami yang popular. Walaupun BMW CE 02 dan BMW CE 04 mewakili penerimaan kami terhadap elektrifikasi dalam segmen ini, 2025 BMW C 400 X dan 2025 BMW C 400 GT pula menggambarkan pendekatan kami terhadap Keterbukaan Teknologi – memberikan pelanggan kami Kuasa Pilihan untuk menjelajahi jalan-jalan bandar.”

Enjin dan transmisi

Kedua-dua varian ini dikuasakan oleh enjin silinder tunggal 350cc, empat injap, penyejuk cecair yang telah terbukti, dengan keluaran kuasa maksimum 34 hp (25 kW) pada 7,500 rpm dan tork maksimum 35 Nm pada 5,750 rpm.

Enjin ini dipadankan dengan transmisi berterusan (CVT) dan lengan ayun dengan ketegaran kilasan yang tinggi.

Ciri-ciri keselamatan

Kedua-dua model dilengkapi dengan BMW Motorrad ABS Pro sebagai standard.

Ciri ini memastikan keselamatan walaupun semasa brek pada sudut condong, dan juga menghalang roda daripada terkunci walaupun tuas brek ditekan dengan cepat serta mengurangkan perubahan mendadak dalam daya stereng.

Fungsi Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) yang dikaitkan dengan ABS Pro memberikan respons yang sensitif, serta kestabilan brek dan pemanduan yang tinggi dengan nyahpecutan yang terbaik walaupun semasa membelok.
Ia berfungsi apabila “kotak sensor” (ECU) memberikan nilai nyahpecutan tertentu semasa brek, permintaan pecutan serentak oleh pemandu dikenal pasti sebagai tidak munasabah, menghalang injap throttle daripada terbuka, sekaligus memastikan kenderaan kekal stabil dan jarak brek dikurangkan.

Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) dan Engine Drag Torque Control (MSR) juga merupakan standard untuk 2025 BMW C 400 X dan 2025 BMW C 400 GT.
DTC menawarkan lebih banyak keselamatan semasa memecut pada sudut condong atau dalam keadaan jalan yang licin.

MSR menghalang keadaan menunggang yang tidak stabil yang boleh berlaku semasa meluncur atau pengurangan throttle secara tiba-tiba. MSR mencapai ini dengan membuka injap throttle secukupnya untuk menyamakan tork seret dan menstabilkan kenderaan.

Penyambungan dan navigasi

C 400 X dilengkapi dengan paparan TFT 6.5 inci sebagai standard.

Manakala, C 400 GT dilengkapi dengan paparan TFT 10.25 inci sebagai standard. Pakej Connectivity Pro menawarkan fungsi skrin berpecah dan navigasi peta.

Kedua-dua model juga dilengkapi dengan persediaan navigasi sebagai pilihan, membolehkan penunggang mudah mengintegrasikan BMW Motorrad Connected Ride Navigator atau Connected Ride Cradle untuk kemampuan navigasi yang lebih baik.

Ruang penyimpanan lebih besar dan aksesori baharu

Kedua-dua varian juga menawarkan ruang penyimpanan tambahan, meningkatkan kepraktisan untuk perjalanan harian dan perjalanan jauh.
2025 BMW C 400 X kini menyediakan tambahan 3 liter ruang penyimpanan di bawah tempat duduk.

2025 BMW C 400 GT menawarkan sehingga 12 liter ruang penyimpanan tambahan, termasuk poket depan.
Skrin angin pada C 400 GT dilengkapi dengan skrin angin yang boleh dilaras secara manual sebagai standard.

Kedua-dua model dilengkapi dengan grid bagasi sebagai standard, aksesori tambahan boleh disertakan dengan kotak atas 43.5 liter – yang bukan sahaja menyediakan 13.5 liter lebih ruang berbanding sebelumnya tetapi juga menawarkan muatan 10 kg berbanding 5 kg sebelumnya.
Kotak atas baharu ini juga dilengkapi dengan elektrifikasi, dalam bentuk lampu dalaman dan port pengecasan USB.

C 400 X dilengkapi dengan keyless ride dan Headlight Pro sebagai standard.
Terdapat juga aksesori asli BMW Motorrad baharu, seperti pelindung badan dan pelindung tangan untuk kedua-dua model.

BMW C 400 X baharu, selain reka bentuk hadapan yang telah dirombak, hadir sebagai standard dalam varian model “Rugged” baharu, menampilkan reka bentuk yang berani dan dinamik dengan warna badan Kalamata metallic matt, tempat duduk berwarna merah dan hitam, rim merah, tayar dengan rupa “offroad”, inlay pijakan kaki, kaliper brek depan berwarna emas, dan skrin angin yang sangat gelap yang memberikan model ini daya tarikan sporty.

Manakala, BMW C 400 GT baharu hadir sebagai standard dalam varian model “Exclusive”, menawarkan penampilan elegan dan canggih dengan warna badan Diamond White metallic, rim emas, jahitan/sulaman tempat duduk dalam warna rim, pencahayaan lantai atau inlay pijakan kaki, kaliper brek depan berwarna emas, dan skrin angin yang sedikit gelap.

2025 BMW C 400 X and 2025 BMW C 400 GT Launched in Malaysia

BMW Motorrad Malaysia has launched the new 2025 BMW C 400 X and 2025 BMW C 400 GT.

These two premium models are the part of the “C”-series of BMW Motorrad’s “Urban Mobility” segment, thus the letter stands for “City.” The range also consists of the electric CE 02, and CE 04.

To refresh, the C 400 GT is equipped with a fully enclosing bodywork and large windscreen, fitting the “GT” (Gran Turismo/Grand Touring) moniker. The C 400 X, on the other hand, is the sportier version (BMW calls it “rugged”) which is perfect for scything through traffic and corners.

Benjamin Nagel, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia, said, “The Urban Mobility segment was the second-best performing segment for BMW Motorrad Malaysia in 2024, following only our popular Adventure segment. While the BMW CE 02 and BMW CE 04 represent our embracing of electrification within the segment, the 2025 BMW C 400 X and the 2025 BMW C 400 GT meanwhile embody our approach of Technology Openness – giving our customers the Power of Choice in navigating the city streets.”

Engine and transmission

Both variants are powered by the proven 350cc, four-valve, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a maximum power output of 34 hp (25 kW) at 7,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 35 Nm at 5,750 rpm.

The engine is paired to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and a powerset swingarm with high torsional rigidity.

Safety features

Both are equipped with BMW Motorrad ABS Pro as standard.

This feature ensures safety even when braking at a lean angle, and also prevents the wheels from locking even when the brake lever is pressed quickly and reduces abrupt changes in steering force.

Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) function linked to the ABS Pro provides sensitive response, as well as high braking and driving stability with the best possible deceleration even when cornering.
It works when the “sensor box” (ECU) delivers a certain deceleration value during braking, a simultaneous acceleration request by the driver is identified as implausible, preventing the throttle valve from opening, thus ensuring the vehicle remains stable and the braking distance is reduced.

Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and Engine Drag Torque Control (MSR) are also standard for the 2025 BMW C 400 X and 2025 BMW C 400 GT.
DTC offers even more safety when accelerating at a lean angle or in slippery road conditions.

MSR prevents unstable riding conditions that can occur during coasting or abrupt throttle reduction. The MSR achieves this by opening the throttle valves so far as to equalise the drag torque and stabilise the vehicle.

Connectivity and navigation

The C 400 X features a large 6.5-inch TFT display as standard.

As for the C 400 GT, a 10.25-inch TFT display is standard. The Connectivity Pro package offers split-screen functionality and map navigation.

Both models also come with navigation preparation as an option, allowing riders to easily integrate the BMW Motorrad Connected Ride Navigator or Connected Ride Cradle for enhanced navigation capabilities.

Increased storage space and accessories

Both variants also offer increased storage space, enhancing practicality for both daily commuting and longer trips.
The 2025 BMW C 400 X now provides an additional 3 liters of storage under the seat.

The 2025 BMW C 400 GT offers up to 12 liters of additional storage, including front pockets.
The windshield on the C 400 GT is equipped with a manually adjustable windshield as standard.

Both models come with luggage grid as standard, additional accessory can be accompanied by a 43.5-litre top case – which not only provides 13.5-litres more volume than before but offers a 10 kg payload compared to the previous 5 kg.
The new top case also features electrification, in the form of interior lighting and a USB charging port.

C 400 X comes with keyless ride and Headlight Pro as standard.
There are also new original BMW Motorrad accessories, such as body protectors and hand guards for both models.

The New BMW C 400 X, in addition to a redesigned front, comes standard in the new “Rugged” model variant, featuring a bold and dynamic design with Kalamata metallic matt body color, coloured seats in red and black, red rims, tyres in “offroad” look, footboard inlays, golden front brake calipers and heavily tinted windshield which gives the model a sporty appeal.

The New BMW C 400 GT, on the other hand, comes standard in an “Exclusive” model variant, offering an elegant and sophisticated look with Diamond White metallic body color, golden rims, seat seam/embroidery in rim colour, floor lighting or footboard inlays, golden front brake calipers and slightly tinted windshield.

BMW C 400 X, BMW C 400 GT Test & Review — “Changing Perceptions”

The BMW C 400 X and BMW C 400 GT are part of BMW Motorrad’s Urban Mobility lineup.
They are well equipped with the TFT screen, Bluetooth connectivity, Keyless Ride, ASC and ABS.
Sure, they are scooters but they ride like big bikes hiding underneath the bodywork.

Scooters. Lovely bikes to ride as commuters, low fuel consumption, lots of cargo space. But iffy handling, lowly specs and “meh” performance. Right? But what about the BMW C 400 X and BMW C 400 GT?

Now, this dynamic duo are really different in almost every single way. Hear us out.

BMW C 400 Platform

BMW Motorrad calls their scooters “Urban Mobility.” The C 400 lineup are the smallest of the C-series which includes the larger (and faster) C 650 range.

Both are powered by the 350cc, single-cylinder engine which produces 34 bhp at 7,500 RPM and 35 Nm of torque at 6,000 RPM. Power is sent through a centrifugal clutch and finally a stepless CVT transmission.

The forks are 35 mm units with double spring struts at the rear. But there are two 265 mm brake discs up front and one at the back. Wheelbase is a slightly long 1565 mm. ABS and ASC (Automatic Stability Control i.e. traction control) are standard on both bikes.

That large TFT screen takes centre stage when you approach either bike. Look closer and you’d pick out the keyless ignition button, keyless fuel cap and BMW multi-controller wheel.

The TFT can connect to your phone and Bluetooth communicator.

This is where it gets interesting. You can have navigation on the TFT screen when connected to the BMW Connect app on your phone, showing you turn-by-turn directions.

Switching to the multimedia screen, you can see the music that’s playing through it. From there, you could use the multifunction wheel on the handlebar to play, pause, choose the song, and even playlist. Only problem was we couldn’t get the karaoke function to work. Just kidding.

Now flip it to the phone function and you’d see your phone’s contacts. Select the person you want to call and voila.

Sure, these functions are available on bigger bikes, too but no other scooter outside of BMW’s line-up do.

BMW C 400 X (from RM 44,500)

The C 400 X is designed for daily commuting. That explains its distinctive “cut down” look for easy manoeuvring through city traffic and narrow streets.

Compared to the C 400 GT, the “X” has a flyscreen, thinner seats and minimal bodywork. The headlamp looks similar to the R 1250 GS’s while the tail section looked like it was tacked on although it shares the G 310 R’s design.

It weighs 204 kg fully fuelled and ready to go. But it could still carry 201 kg of payload! That means if you and your passenger weigh a total of 150 kg, you could still load 51 kg of luggage onto the bike. What is this? A GS?

But it’s a scooter, right? Yes, until you ride it.

Twisting the throttle the first time, I gave it a wristful like I would on other scooters and small bikes. The bike just took off down the road so fast I thought I was going to blow past the intersection and into the Oldtown White Coffee’s lobby up ahead. Whoa boy!

A two fingered pull on the front and rear brakes brought the bike to a complete stop as quickly as a big bike on Brembo brakes. I kid you not.

Approaching the sweeper after the fire station at Cyberjaya, I slowed well down as I feared that the handlebar may wag back and forth, besides grounding the bodywork like on other scooters. Surprise, surprise. The handlebar stayed steady as if it has a steering damper (it doesn’t) and there was a huge amount of ground clearance left.

So, I gunned it into the next left-hander which led to highway at much higher speeds. The bike’s low CG-long wheelbase combination actually let the bike hold its line and truly railed through. Again, the handlebar stayed steady. It was as if I was riding a conventional big bike.

We had the opportunity to ride both bikes to a camping trip organised by GIVI Asia (Malaysia) the next day. Running on the highway to GIVI Asia;s HQ at Bukit Beruntung, the C 400 X ran at 130 km/h without feeling like it was going to throw out the piston and rod through the footboard, despite its quoted top speed of 139 km/h.

Y-suku (Yamaha Y15ZR) riders tried to give chase but they soon gave up.

The engine was very economical too, still leaving 2/3 of the 12.8-litre fuel after that 63.3 km blasting.

It was a 137 km ride from GIVI Asia’s HQ at Bukit Beruntung to Lata Lembik in Pahang. Part of the route covered Batang Kali from Ulu Yam Lama to Gohtong Jaya, before descending back down to Genting Sempah. From there it was on the Karak Highway, then through Bentong.

My colleague Amirul was ahead on the C 400 GT, riding with pillion.

Heading up Batang Kali, both of us were constantly snapping at the back wheels of the bigger bikes up ahead. The road was wet but both of us C 400 riders just kept up the pace.

And we still had 2 out of 10 bars of fuel left when we reached our destination.

BMW C 400 GT (from RM 48,500)

We switched bikes later in the week.

It takes on the maxi scooter style for touring, hence the “GT” designation. You get a larger bodywork, and larger and taller windshield for more protection from the elements. The headlamp and taillamp were just as distinctive as the X’s although styled differently.

The seats were felt a little wider and taller due to extra padding. The front panel was style differently and had two lockable cubby holes just like the X’s. There’s a USB connector inside the left compartment for charging devices.

The extra bodywork brings it wet weight to 212 kg, but maximum permissible payload increases to 203 kg.

That’s a far as the difference goes between the two bikes, the rest are based on a shared platform.

The GT has a taller seat height due to the taller seat but I liked the extra comfort it afforded. Riding it out the first time, the lack of windblast was immediately discernible.

But the bike still hoots down the road like the X. The extra comfort was especially appreciated when riding the 60 km daily commute as I didn’t get buffeted by the wind. The windshield was great at stopping rain and water splashed off other vehicles in front.

The GT’s handling was slightly different to X’s due to the higher seat. Although it still tracks through corners, the handlebar did wag around. But as long as the bike headed to where I pointed it, I wasn’t concerned.

Conclusion

The only shortcoming was storage space under the seat. In order to keep the seat low and body narrow, the underseat compartment was shallow. Yes, you could place two jet-type helmets in there, but you couldn’t lay down a laptop backpack. Ah well, a top case will cure this.

Another thing was you have turn on the ignition in order to open the forward storage compartments and seat. We know it was designed as so in the interest of safety, though.

They ain’t exactly cheap but if you are the type who loves scooters, they are truly worth your hard-earned money.

We loved the C 400 X and C 400 GT. Both actually surprised us at how good they were as scooters… er… Urban Mobility vehicles. Maybe that’s why BMW Motorrad doesn’t call them scoots.
