Verdict

The 2013 Kymco Xciting 400i goes head to head with the Yamaha X-MAX 400. The 2013 versions is a huge evolution over the previous generation and comes with a sharp style, first class ergonomics and a lively new engine.

Compared to the old generation the 2013 model is 20 kg lighter so you can expect to a better acceleration. For the faster acceleration we also have to give credit to the all-new engine that cranks out significantly more power than the old unit. The new unit is also pretty efficient and with a full fuel tank (12.5 liters) you should be able to ride about 300 kilometers without refueling.

As far as the stopping power is concerned, the Xciting 400i rewards you with a crisp response from its disc brakes which are also assisted by a modern ABS system.

The 2013 model is not only more technologically advanced than the previous version, but is also a bit cheaper as it can be yours for no less than € 5.999.
