The Mavrick 440 will be based on the Harley-Davidson X440.

Hero MotoCorp has shared teaser images of the upcoming Mavrick 440 on social media. The bike will be launched on January 23, 2024.

The Mavrick 440 will be based on the Harley-Davidson X440. The teaser reveals the silhouette of the motorcycle that hints at a typical roadster design. The bike will get a muscular fuel tank and a round LED headlamp with an H-shaped light signature. 

Recent spy images of the Mavrick suggest that the bike will be equipped with bar-end mirrors, a telescopic front fork and alloy wheels.  

The Mavrick 440 is expected to use 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. It will be paired with a 6-speed gearbox.

The Mavrick 440 is expected to share its underpinnings with the Harley-Davidson X440.

Hero MotoCorp’s Harley-Davidson X440-based bike will be called Mavrick. The bike maker has also confirmed that the official launch will be held on January 23, 2024.

While the Mavrick 440 is expected to share its underpinnings with the Harley-Davidson X440, it is likely to be positioned as a roadster in Hero’s line-up. The bike could get a different fuel tank and a revised riding position.

Spy images that are doing the rounds of the internet have revealed that the Mavrick 440 would get a circular LED headlamp with an H-shaped light signature. The bike will also get bar-end mirrors, a telescopic front fork and alloy wheels.

We were never huge fans of Royal Enfield but I decided to give the J series powered Classic 350 Reborn a test ride.

BHPian MVM recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

This message might be surprising to some.

We have decided to sell off the HF100. I've had the bike for 15 months and the need for a slightly better bike is felt.

Before sharing the details of the bike (for those who may be interested in purchasing it) I will dive into the reasons why I feel the need for a better motorcycle.

The bike isn't built for the comfort of tall riders: I am 6'2 and due to the low handlebars and the position of the foot pegs the bike puts quite a bit of strain on my shoulders. I carry a backpack as well most of the time and that makes the fatigue worse.

This is perfectly understandable as the bike is built according to the height of an average Indian male which is around 5'7/5'8.

I did purchase some handlebar risers and despite them not being the easiest to fit I managed to install them, it was only after installing them that I realised that the accelerator cable was too short and turning the bike to the left would cause it to accelerate.

The lack of safety features: The bike is not equipped with discs or ABS which is perfectly understandable considering the cost of the bike, unfortunately, these have become very important of late.

The extremely light front end and overall weight of the bike: It is one of the lightest bikes currently sold in the country and that allows the bike to be very easy to manoeuvre. As long as I am the only one on the bike it's perfectly fine. The issue arises when my dad (who is also 6'2) and I both try to go on the bike. Due to most of the weight being concentrated towards the rear steering the bike becomes a task. Neither of us can sit very close to the tank as we can't operate the gear lever and rear brake easily if we do so. This leads to an unpleasant and unstable ride.

Considering all these reasons we decided to look for a better and safer bike. We were never huge fans of Royal Enfield but I decided to give the J series-powered Classic 350 Reborn a test ride. Due to the test ride being very brief and me being quite jittery as I was riding a bike that wasn't mine, I decided to rent one from Royal Brothers for a day to thoroughly explore all aspects of owning a Classic 350. After 150 kilometres of primarily city riding (including riding through Chickpet) the Classic 350 made me a very happy camper. We are planning on getting one very soon and considering how long we are planning on keeping it an ownership review is a must.

Thanks for reading.
