Overview

Introducing the 2023 Hanway B40, a striking custom-cruiser that expertly blends retro charm with modern performance. Designed for riders who appreciate both style and substance, the B40 is positioned as an exciting entry in the burgeoning market of custom motorcycles. With its sleek lines and eye-catching yellow finish, this bike not only turns heads but also promises a riding experience that excites the senses. Crafted in China, the B40 reflects the growing sophistication of motorcycle engineering from manufacturers outside traditional powerhouses, making it an intriguing choice for both new and seasoned riders. At the heart of the B40 is a robust 389 cc engine that delivers an impressive 37.6 horsepower at 8,500 RPM, coupled with a torque output of 36 Nm at 7,500 RPM. This combination ensures a spirited ride, whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising on open highways.

The cradle-type cast steel frame is complemented by telescopic front forks and twin coil spring rear suspension, providing a balanced ride that absorbs bumps with ease. Stopping power is delivered through robust ABS-equipped brakes—double discs in the front and a single disc in the rear—ensuring you can confidently navigate any road condition. The motorcycle’s 16-liter fuel tank allows for extended rides without frequent stops, while the low seat height of just 640 mm ensures that riders of all statures can find their footing comfortably. **
