Its modern aesthetics and premium build quality make it appealing to both seasoned riders and newcomers alike, ensuring that it stands out in a crowded market. At the heart of the C400X lies a robust 350cc engine, generating a commendable 34 horsepower at 7,500 RPM and delivering 35 Nm of torque at 6,000 RPM. This liquid-cooled, fuel-injected powerhouse propels the scooter to a top speed of 153 km/h (95.1 mph), making it more than capable of handling highway commutes and weekend getaways. The automatic transmission and centrifugal dry clutch ensure a smooth and effortless ride, while the impressive fuel economy of 3.50 liters per 100 km (67.21 mpg) means you’ll spend less time at the pump and more time enjoying the ride.

The C400X is packed with features that enhance both comfort and safety. Its tubular steel frame, combined with die-cast aluminum sections, provides a solid foundation while keeping the weight manageable at just 193 kg (425.5 lbs). The front and rear suspension system offers 110 mm and 112 mm of travel, respectively, ensuring a smooth ride even over rough terrain. The inclusion of ABS technology in both the front and rear braking systems instills confidence, allowing for precise stopping power in various conditions. Additional tech features such as Automatic Stability Control, an electric starter, and an adjustable seat height of 775 mm (30.5 inches) contribute to a user-friendly experience. With color options like Granite Grey Metallic and Alpine White, riders can also express their personal style. **
