Hero MotoCorp and Harley-Davidson's collaborative roadster, the X440, has received a fresh price revision in the Indian market. Marketers have hiked the ex-showroom rates of this entry-level motorcycle by 1,000 rupees to 2,000 rupees across its variant lineup. Notably, this revision marks the second price increase for the bike within 2026, following a previous hike of up to 5,000 rupees introduced in June 2026. Despite the cost adjustment, the motorcycle retains its position as the most accessible offering in the Harley-Davidson portfolio, with no mechanical or cosmetic modifications accompanying the revised pricing structure.
Revised Variant Pricing and Market Position
Under the newly introduced pricing structure, the baseline starting price for the motorcycle now stands at 2.60 lakh rupees. Specifically, the X440 S variant, which was previously listed at 2.59 lakh rupees, has seen a 1,000 rupee increase, pushing its new ex-showroom price to 2.60 lakh rupees. Meanwhile, the higher-spec X440 T variant has experienced a 2,000 rupee hike, moving from its previous price tag of 2.84 lakh rupees to 2.86 lakh rupees. Jointly developed with Hero MotoCorp, this premium roadster continues to compete against mid-capacity rivals including the Royal Enfield Classic 350, Triumph Speed 400, and Honda H'ness in India's growing middleweight motorcycle segment.
Engine Performance and Hardware Specifications
The mechanical setup of the motorcycle remains completely identical to the outgoing model. It is powered by a 440 cc single-cylinder, air and oil-cooled engine capable of delivering 27 bhp of peak power alongside 38 Nm of maximum torque. Power transmission is handled by a 6-speed gearbox equipped with an assist and slipper clutch. The powerplant delivers 80 percent of its total torque output in the lower rpm range, facilitating smoother maneuverability in urban traffic conditions. The motorcycle claims a fuel efficiency figure of 35 kmpl and reaches a top speed of approximately 135 kmph. Suspension duties are managed by 43 mm KYB inverted front forks and gas-charged twin shock absorbers at the rear.
Design Elements and Technical Features
Visually, the roadster maintains its distinctive retro styling characterized by a muscular fuel tank, round LED headlamp, sleek side body panels, and a single-sided exhaust system. The bike features a seat height of 805 mm and offers a ground clearance of 170 mm. Its fuel tank has a capacity of 13.5 liters, while the vehicle records a curb weight of approximately 190.5 kg to offer balanced stability during highway cruising and city commutes. On the feature front, it incorporates a 3.5-inch TFT instrument display, full LED lighting, Bluetooth connectivity on select variants, turn-by-turn navigation, and a dedicated USB charging port.
Safety Equipment and Advanced Rider Aids
In terms of rider safety, dual-channel ABS comes equipped as a standard feature across all trims. Braking performance relies on a 320 mm disc brake setup at the front wheel and a 240 mm disc brake at the rear. Additional safety functionality includes a side-stand engine cut-off system. For riders opting for the top-spec T variant, the motorcycle brings additional technical aids such as selectable ride modes, switchable traction control, and switchable rear ABS functionality.
