Ahead of the launch of the Harley-Davidson X440 motorcycle, the company has opened bookings for the model in India. In fact, the Harley-Davidson X440 motorcycle can be booked at Hero MotoCorp dealerships and the booking amount has been capped at Rs 25,000.
The upcoming Harley-Davidson X440 motorcycle will be the first motorcycle to be sold under the partnership between Hero MotoCorp and Harley-Davidson. That being said, the production, sales, and service of the Harley-Davidson X440 motorcycle will be taken care of by Hero MotoCorp.
Speaking about the upcoming Harley-Davidson X440, the motorcycle sports a retro theme with circular elements such as headlights, turn indicators, rear-view mirrors and instrument cluster. Additionally, the motorcycle also has a very butch stance with its muscular fuel tank and sleek rear section.
Speaking about the stance, the riding position on the upcoming Harley-Davidson X440 motorcycle looks somewhat neutral. On top of that, the motorcycle rides on 18-inch wheels at the front and smaller 17-inch wheels at the rear – Making the motorcycle suitable for both city and occasional weekend rides.
Looking at the images, we can see the upcoming Harley-Davidson X440 motorcycle comes equipped with features such as USD forks at the front, front and rear disc brakes, all-LED lighting, circular digital instrument cluster, and gas-charged twin shocks at the rear.
Unlike traditional Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the upcoming X440 will be using a single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine. This powertrain is said to be around 440cc and likely to produce approximately 25-30bhp and 35-40Nm of torque.
Furthermore drifting away from the tradition, the upcoming Harley-Davidson X440 motorcycle will use a conventional chain drive instead of a belt drive. It is also believed that the Harley-Davidson X440 motorcycle will come equipped with a 6-speed gearbox.
With bookings now open, we expect the partnership to launch the Harley-Davidson X440 motorcycle very soon in the Indian market. Also, we expect the company to price the Harley-Davidson X440 motorcycle somewhere around the Rs 2.75 lakh mark.
Thoughts About Harley-Davidson X440 Motorcycle
Hero MotoCorp definitely has the manufacturing capacity to startle Royal Enfield. However, the success of the Harley-Davidson X440 lies in its pricing. If the partnership aggressively prices the motorcycle, we do not see anything that will stop the X440 from munching away Royal Enfield’s market share in the country.
