Woodcliff Lake, NJ – March 25, 2021…Today, BMW
Motorrad is proud to announce the addition of the C 400 GT to the 2022
model year line-up for the U.S. The updated C 400 GT will be the sole
offering in BMW Motorrad’s U.S. Urban Mobility segment.
Available in Europe since 2018, the C 400 GT receives notable updates
for the 2022 model year and for its arrival in the U.S. market. As its
name, Gran Turismo implies, the new GT is more focused on Touring and
comfort while retaining its agility and fun ride characteristics.
Powertrain
The 350cc single-cylinder engine receives new EU-5 emissions
certification and delivers 34 hp @ 7,500 rpm and 26 lb-ft @ 5,750 rpm
– 250 rpm lower than before. Power is transmitted through a CVT
(Constantly Variable Transmission) and a rigid aluminum double-sided
swingarm with a swing-arm bearing designed for reduced vibration.
A new electronic throttle is paired with a new engine management
system. Additional improvements for 2022 include a new matrix and
coating for the catalytic converter, a new wideband oxygen sensor, new
cylinder head, new sensor on the generator cover, new clutch springs,
new wiring harness and new idle speed control.
The idle speed regulator has been removed from the airbox and the
idle speed control now operates via a throttle valve bypass and
turbulence system.
The e-throttle improves both idle response and allows for a smoother
and more sensitive throttle response.
ASC Automatic stability Control
The ASC has been updated for 2022 and features a new automatic radius
calibration system, which replaces the manual recalibration system –
used after changing tires. The new ASC is also designed for lower
friction levels, allowing for a more sensitive response in wet and
slippery surface conditions.
Braking System
The new 2022 C 400 GT receives new brake calipers with improved
piston response which allow the dual front discs to provide more
stability and feedback. The front brake lever is located on the right
handlebar with the rear brake lever on the left.
Storage compartment
The 31-liter storage compartment (45-lites with Flexcase) now
features lighting from above for improved visibility inside the
compartment. The right-front storage compartment features a 12-volt
outlet as well as a new USB charging socket.
