Bristol BR 400i Review 2024

Bristol motorcycles made a solid entry into the Philippine automobile market last year with its range of retro-styled bikes. The renowned bike maker has come to the Philippine shore with its retro-styled, power-packed motorcycles which are developed using high-quality parts from renowned suppliers. They introduced the Classic 400i and the BR 400i featuring an Italian design, electronics from Delphi technologies USA, Mikuni injection components from Japan and powertrain from Hartford Taiwan. The BR 400i features a café racer styling combined with modern amenities and relaxed, low riding stance for free-spirited riders. It features a large chrome front halogen headlight to provide a better on-road sighting to the riders, a two-piece handlebar with twin-pod instrument cluster and bullet-style indicator lights to spark-up the vintage look. The powerful engine provides a punchy performance and is developed using the latest technology to boost its performance; it also complies to the Euro-4 emission standards. Bristol has fitted the BR 400i with twin-pipe stainless steel exhaust system with stylish mufflers. It is equipped with telescopic front forks and adjustable rear suspension with remote reservoir shocks. Braking on the bike is done through a single-disc brake at both the ends. Furthermore, to provide a better on-road grip while driving, the company has fitted all-weather tires on the BR 400i. There are two variants on offer – Standard and Omega. The Omega variant adds better performance and safety owing to its inverted front forks, dual-disc front brake, single-disc rear brake and an anti-lock braking system (ABS). The standard BR 400i is offered at a price of Ph 1,88,000, while the Omega variant retails at Ph 2,08,000.

Bristol BR 400i Design

At the front, there’s a large, round halogen headlamp encapsulated in a chrome case. It has a two-piece aluminium alloy handlebar which holds the twin-pod instrument panel and round, chrome finished rear view mirrors. The front tyre is covered with a sleek, black colour mudguard. The two-piece handlebar and Bullet style turn indicators add to the styling quotient of the BR 400i. The large fuel tank features a 'Bristol' marking and connects to the single saddle. The seat is made of high-quality materials and looks premium. It is inclined, with slope moving from the rear to the front.  The two stainless steel exhaust pipes can be spotted on both the sides, along with stylish mufflers. Move to the rear and you will see a small tyre hugger to prevent the mud splash on the pillion. There’s no grab rail; the tail lamp and turn indicators are sleek. The semi-digital instrument console displays vital information to the rider through a speedometer, tachometer and a digital fuel gauge.
