| Hero Mavrick 440 vs Triumph Speed 400 vs Royal Enfield Classic 350 vs Harley Davidson X440 vs Others   Hero Mavrick 440  What you'll like: • Single-cylinder, 440cc engine has good low-end torque to make city riding comfortable. Fairly responsive mid and top-end keep highway cruising engaging • Superb ride comfort; gobbles up bad roads without letting the rider, or even pillion feel them • NVH and refinement are really good. Combined with good ergonomics, you can cruise at 80-100 km/h all day long • Features such as standard dual-channel ABS, Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation etc. are standard on all variants. Top variant gets e-sim connectivity • Hero's sales and service network is unparalleled, even in tier 2 and 3 towns • Well priced for what it offers. Undercuts most competitors What you won't: • Very basic instrumentation cluster in terms of look, feel and functionality • Missing features such as riding modes, traction control, upside-down suspension fork, etc. • Built to a cost. Cost-cutting is evident in a couple of areas • Ride gets unsettled at higher speeds • To many people, the Hero brand doesn't have the badge cachet of Royal Enfield, Honda or Harley-Davidson • Long-term reliability of the new engine is unknown Review Link Triumph Speed 400  What you'll like: • Quintessential Triumph design that can stand proud next to the rest of its modern classic range • Build quality, fit and finish are of a high order - arguably the best in the broad segment it straddles • Stunning price proposition! Bajaj and Triumph have launched it at a price that leaves no doubt that they're gunning for a thumping success • 39.5 BHP engine is reasonably tractable with a strong pull. Smooth & refined power delivery at a kerb weight of ~176 kg, results in a fairly peppy performance aided further by a slick 6-speed gearbox • Great ground clearance in real-world riding, combined with a reasonably plush ride • Exciting but not intimidating - the bike is very beginner-friendly and will be easy to recommend to newer riders as well as older ones getting back to some easy riding after a gap • A very generous 16,000 km / 1-year service interval. Parts and service costs are also expected to be kept competitive What you won't: • Absence of some features like connected tech, riding modes etc. • Very tall folk may find themselves gravitating towards the Scrambler 400. The Speed 400 looks just a tad small for very heavyset / very tall riders • Non-adjustable brake and clutch levers, although they are light and easy to operate. Adjustable levers would have been a nice touch. • Analogue + Digital speedometer doesn't suit the bike's character. They should've gone in one of these directions, either the simple round style similar to the Trident or the gorgeous twin dials of the 1200 classic • Only single-sided saddle bag luggage is being offered by Triumph as of now. You will have to look at aftermarket solutions for double-sided saddle bags • The entire service experience remains uncharted territory with Triumph leaving a negative perception on this front in some parts of the country. Whether one can have a positive dealership experience under Bajaj’s watch is something that remains to be seen Review Link Royal Enfield Classic 350  Ownership Review Link Harley Davidson X440  What you'll like: • Single-cylinder, 440cc engine has good low-end torque to make city riding as well as highway cruising comfortable • NVH and refinement are really good. Combined with good ergonomics, you can cruise at 80-100 km/h all day long • Well priced. It is on par with its peers, albeit with an extra ~40-90 cc • Built by Hero, who know the Indian two-wheeler consumer extremely well • Decent level of kit - standard dual-channel ABS, Bluetooth connectivity, connected features, etc. What you won't: • Design and styling can be polarising. Not your typical Harley • In a segment that has heated up with lots of new offerings, the X440 doesn't ace any specific aspect • No riding modes or traction control. Essentially not a lot of ways to customize your ride • This is the first product of the Harley Davidson - Hero partnership. Sales, after-sales and service support and experience are unknown Review Link Honda CB350  Ownership Review Link Jawa 350  Launch Discussion BMW G310 R  Ownership Review Link KTM Duke 390  What you'll like: • Spectacular new 399 cc LC4C engine! Torque and power delivery will most likely outlast the road for most owners • A delight to handle on track as well as on the streets. Very nimble and flickable around the corners • Adjustable suspension settings are now available as standard for the front and the rear. Helps you customise your ride experience • Full suite of electronics. Has customisable ABS, Traction Control, Ride modes, and even Launch control! • Entire range of features like Connectivity features (calls, music, turn-by-turn navigation), Bluetooth pairing to Phone and even a wired/wireless Headset • Top quality build. Fit and finish levels are good too What you won't: • While the low-end torque has improved by almost 5 Nm, you'll continue to go 3-2-1 on the gears while within the city • The Quickshifter, while a huge leap from the outgoing model, still isn't textbook perfect during gear shifts • OEM tyres don't match up to the performance the bike is capable of • Narrow seat can get uncomfortable on longer journeys • Looks have generally been polarising on the KTMs Review Link Bajaj Dominar 400  Ownership Review Link Royal Enfield Interceptor 650  Ownership Review Link Last edited by Omkar : 6th March 2024 at 18:08. |

| Re: Hero Mavrick 440 vs Triumph Speed 400 vs Royal Enfield Classic 350 vs Harley Davidson X440 vs Ot Can't vote as I don't understand what genre/segment/price are we looking at? RE customers won't look at KTM or any other brand per say specially classic customers. Similary KTM customers might look at G310R and even Apache 310 but that's not present. While Maverick, speed, X440, classic, jawa & even Dominar can be put into same category how can Duke 390/BMW G310R be compared to this genre?  |
