D4---Kymco20151110For those who like to go on long distance touring but still prefer the convenience of a “twist-n-go” transmission, Kymco Philippines offer their flagship model, the Xciting 400i. Currently having the biggest displacement in the Taiwanese firm’s scooter line-up, the Xciting 400i complies with the 400 cc minimum requirement of our tollways. This means you can skip the conjested streets of small towns and municipalities that surround Metro Manila and hit the open roads straight away. What makes this maxi-scooter “exciting” for the rider is its fuel-injected, single cylinder liquid cooled engine that churns out 26.5 kw@7000 rpm and 37 kgm@6000 rpm. Such figures are more than enough for keeping up with tollway traffic, and then some.

The Xciting 400i is fitted with a double-cradle steel frame to give it proper composure when running at a spirited pace. An integrated wind shield offers the upper body some protection from wind and road debris. It can also help minimize bug splatter on your helmet visor, if you really like to ride that fast. The plastic body panels shields the lower extremities without compromising cornering clearance. Kymco claims a 42-degree leaning angle for this big boy. Like most maxi-scooters, this one also runs on fat 120/70 – 15” (front) and 150/70 – 14” (rear) tires. To put this 193-kilogram machine to a halt are twin 280 mm disks in front and a single disk at the rear. When you’re done riding, don’t forget to engage parking brake lever toensure your ride stays put even when parked on inclined surfaces.
