Harley-Davidson X440
The Harley-Davidson X440 has hit Indian roads with a bang, bringing a bold, dhakad look that’s turning heads everywhere. Launched in 2023 and now refreshed for 2025 with new colors and features, this bike is the result of a cool partnership between Harley-Davidson and Hero MotoCorp. Priced from ₹2.39 lakh to ₹2.79 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s the most affordable Harley ever, perfect for young riders who want style, power, and the iconic Harley vibe without breaking the bank. With a 440cc engine and a mileage of around 35 kmpl, the X440 is ready to take on rivals like the Royal Enfield Classic 350. Here’s why this bike is stealing the show.
A Design That Screams Harley
The X440 looks like a true Harley with its muscular build and retro charm. Its round LED headlight with Harley branding, chunky fuel tank, and side-slung exhaust give it a premium, dhakad style. New 2025 colors like Goldfish Silver, Mustard, and Baja Orange add extra flair, making it a stunner on the road. The bike’s flat handlebar and single-pod digital display keep things modern yet classic. Whether parked at a café or cruising through the city, the X440’s bold design makes sure you’re noticed.
Power-Packed Performance
At the heart of the X440 is a 440cc, air/oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine that pumps out 27 bhp and 38 Nm of torque. With 80% of the torque available from just 2,500 rpm, it’s perfect for quick city rides and smooth highway cruises. The six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch ensures easy gear shifts, and the raspy exhaust note gives you that classic Harley feel. The bike handles Indian roads like a champ, with a 170mm ground clearance and a trellis frame for stability.

Loaded with Modern Features
The X440 isn’t just about looks—it’s packed with tech too. The top-spec S variant comes with a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, and turn-by-turn navigation, letting you stay connected on the go. You also get full LED lighting, dual-channel ABS, and a USB charging port for your phone. The 805mm seat height makes it easy for most riders to handle, and the 13.5-liter fuel tank is great for long rides. With Hero’s huge service network, maintenance is hassle-free, though parts may cost a bit more than rivals.
Comfort Meets Style on Every Ride
Riding the X440 feels like a dream, thanks to its upright posture, wide handlebar, and comfy seat. The 43mm upside-down front forks and gas-charged rear shocks soak up bumps, making it great for city streets and highways. It cruises smoothly at 100 kmph, though vibrations kick in at higher speeds. The bike’s lightweight 190.5 kg body makes it easy to zip through traffic, but the pillion seat is a bit small for long trips. Still, it’s perfect for solo riders or short rides with a friend.
A Premium Bike for Every Indian
Priced at ₹2.39 lakh to ₹2.79 lakh, the X440 is a steal for a Harley, competing with the Triumph Speed 400 and Honda H’ness CB350. Its premium look, strong performance, and Harley badge make it a favorite for riders who want style and heritage. Launched on July 3, 2023, it saw over 25,000 bookings in a month, showing its massive craze. With new 2025 variants and colors, the X440 is set to rule India’s premium bike market, blending American swagger with Indian practicality.
