Introducing the 2021 CSC Motorcycles SG400, a compelling entry in the naked bike category that invites both seasoned riders and newcomers to experience the thrill of two wheels. Built with a nod to classic styling, the SG400 combines modern engineering with the vibrant spirit of motorcycling. With its sleek lines and robust presence, this bike reflects CSC's commitment to delivering high-quality motorcycles at an accessible price point. Whether you're navigating through city streets or embarking on weekend adventures, the SG400 promises to be a versatile companion that stands out in a crowded market. At the heart of the SG400 lies a spirited 378cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers an impressive 48.5 horsepower at 9,000 RPM. Riders will appreciate the smooth power delivery and a torque figure of 35 Nm at 6,500 RPM, providing ample pull for spirited rides. With a top speed of 154.5 km/h (96 mph), the SG400 allows for exhilarating highway cruising while maintaining a demeanor that is manageable and fun.

The bike’s liquid cooling system helps maintain optimal engine temperatures, allowing for consistent performance even on hot days. The SG400 is not just about performance; it’s packed with features that enhance the overall riding experience. The chassis is constructed from robotically welded steel tubes, offering a sturdy foundation that complements its impressive handling characteristics. Front inverted forks and preload-adjustable dual shocks at the rear provide a balanced suspension setup, ensuring you can tackle corners and bumps with confidence. Safety is paramount, with double disc brakes equipped with ABS at the front and a single disc at the rear, giving riders peace of mind in a variety of conditions. A generous fuel capacity of 19 liters (5.02 gallons) means fewer stops at the pump and more time on the road, while the bike is available in striking color options like Metallic Gray Gloss and Sinister Matte Black. **
