Notably, this model enters the market at a lower price than the Sahara 300, emphasizing Honda’s strategy to offer high-quality motorcycles at competitive prices.

Equipped with a 399 cc twin-cylinder engine, delivering up to 46 horsepower at 9,000 RPM and 38 Nm of torque at 7,500 RPM, coupled with a 6-speed transmission with assist and slipper clutch.
Although it has a smaller engine, the new Honda NX 400 features the same design presented by the NX500 at EICMA 2023. According to the brand, the rival to the Sahara 300 achieves a fuel consumption of 28.1 km/l in the WLTC cycle.
