The Harley Davidson X440 2025 brings iconic cruiser styling to India in an accessible, sub-₹3 lakh package. Built locally through a partnership with Hero MotoCorp, it aims to attract new enthusiasts while staying true to Harley’s legacy of bold design and rider-focused performance.
Engine & Performance
Powered by a 440cc air/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine, the X440 delivers just under 28PS at 6,000rpm and 38Nm at 4,000rpm, channeled through a smooth 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch. With a claimed fuel efficiency of around 35km/l, it balances performance and practicality for daily commutes and weekend rides.
Style & Build
This neo-retro roadster embraces classic Harley cues: a muscular turtle fuel tank, round LED headlamp, and wide handlebars. Available in spoke or alloy wheels with fresh colour choices—like Mustard, Goldfish Silver, and Baja Orange—it also features LED lighting and a 13.5L fuel tank.
Chassis & Ride Quality
The bike is built on a lightweight chassis with 43mm KYB USD front forks and twin gas rear shocks, offering responsive handling. With a seat height of 805mm, kerb weight around 194kg, and 170mm ground clearance, it strikes a balance between cruiser comfort and city rideability.
Tech & Safety
Equipped with a 3.5-inch TFT display featuring Bluetooth connectivity, the X440 offers turn-by-turn navigation, call/message alerts, USB charging, and real-time ride data. For safety, it boasts dual-channel ABS and front 320mm and rear 240mm discs.
Rider Feedback
Owner reviews highlight its charismatic ride and practicality for both city and highway use:
“Power and torque is more than required… it’s fairly calm at cruising speeds”
“Front suspension is surely something that you need to get used to…”
However, some users note higher engine heat during long rides and occasional fit-and-finish concerns.
Pricing & Variants
The X440 is offered in three trims:
- Denim (base) – ₹2.39 lakh
- Vivid (mid) – ₹2.59 lakh
- S (top) – ₹2.79 lakh with premium finishes and Bluetooth features.
These prices remained unchanged in the 2025 model lineup.
Final Verdict
The Harley Davidson X440 2025 delivers iconic style, solid performance, and modern features at an attractive entry point into the Harley world. It’s ideal for riders seeking cruiser aesthetics in a compact, tech-savvy package. While there are minor caveats—such as heat and quality nuances—it stands out as a compelling first premium bike.
