Crossover Comfort: HONDA 400X Custom

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA 400X" custom by Webike community user "sho-son". Given its crossover concept, this bike naturally offers a riding position similar to that of an off-road motorcycle, which the owner finds incredibly comfortable. For a touring enthusiast like him, the upright riding posture that allows for long hours on the bike without fatigue is a major plus. To enhance comfort even further, HURRICANE Setback Spacers have been installed. The high and wide field of vision provides a wealth of information to the rider, while the lower body maintains a sporty posture, allowing for an intuitive grip on the bike and smooth control using the legs and core. The moment you start riding, it feels like an extension of your body—just like a bike you've ridden for years. It’s a true all-rounder sports bike. On top of that, the owner loves how great it looks and appreciates its impressive fuel efficiency of 28.3 km/L. The 400X delivers strong, manageable performance from low RPMs while offering smooth and consistent power throughout the rev range.

Since the owner is satisfied with the bike’s riding capabilities, their customizations focus on improving convenience and comfort. The stock front fender was too short, causing mud to splash up onto the top of the radiator on rainy days, so a P&A International Extender Fender was installed. For the rear, a Puig Rear Fender was added. The owner also swears by their KIJIMA Helmet Lock. It attaches behind the removed pillion step, making installation incredibly simple—taking only about 15 minutes. One modification that had a major impact on the bike’s look is the HONDA Front Side Pipes. Once installed, they add more presence to the bike and emphasize its crossover aesthetic.
