Hero's Harley X440-based bike could be called Mavrick 440

The Mavrick 440 will be unveiled at the Hero World event later this month.

Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to debut a new bike based on the Harley-Davidson X440 platform later this month. The bike was initially expected to be called Hurkan 440, however, the latest rumours suggest that it could be named "Mavrick 440".

While the Mavrick 440 is expected to share its underpinnings with the Harley, some reports suggest that it might even get a different chassis. Unlike the X440, Hero’s version could feature a sporty look and might be positioned as a roadster.

The Hero Mavrick 440 will be powered by the same 440cc single-cylinder oil-cooled engine as the X440. In its current spec, the engine produces 27 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 38 Nm @ 4,000 rpm.

The Mavrick 440 will be unveiled at the Hero World event later this month. Media rides have been planned for February.
