2025 Hanway Bob 400C Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2025 Hanway Bob 400C classic motorcycle, Hanway relies on a 389 cc (23.7 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 37.6 HP (27.4 kW) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 96.7 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Bob 400C measures 185 kg (408 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2 HP/kg (4.92 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 690 mm (27.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,520 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
