Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, is all set to make a significant stride in the premium motorcycle segment with the launch of its new flagship motorcycle, the Mavrick.

This new offering is based on the Harley Davidson X440, a collaboration that has sparked great anticipation ever since their collaboration announcement.

After much speculation surrounding the possible names for the new 440cc motorcycle, Hero MotoCorp has officially confirmed that it will be named Mavrick.

The company has recently released a teaser on its social media platforms, unveiling the name and announcing the launch date. The Hero Mavrick is scheduled to make its debut on 23 January.

Differentiating from the Harley Davidson X440

The first spy shot of the upcoming Mavrick revealed some significant differences from its Harley Davidson counterpart. It is suggested that the Hero Mavrick will feature a telescopic fork instead of Harley’s upside-down unit, hinting at a potentially lower price point. The price range is expected to be below the X440, which currently sells for Rs 2.40 lakh to 2.80 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Styling and Experience

The spy shot also revealed a redesigned headlight with an H-shaped LED DRL and various other styling tweaks, including wheels with a different design.

The Mavrick is anticipated to be aimed at younger buyers, offering a slightly sportier and more engaging riding experience than the Harley. This is supported by the teaser of the exhaust note released by Hero, featuring a faster beat and a distinct sound.

Expected Features

The Mavrick is projected to come equipped with:

• All-LED lighting
• A digital console with smartphone connectivity
• Dual-channel ABS
• A USB port
• A side-stand sensor
• Wide one-piece handlebar
• Bar-end mirrors
• Small tank extensions

The overall cruiser styling is expected to exude aggression, while the riding stance leans towards the upright side, catering to a broader spectrum of riders.

Performance and Specifications

The Mavrick 440 is powered by the same 440cc single-pot liquid-cooled engine found in the Harley-Davidson X440. However, Hero is anticipated to fine-tune the engine to match the Mavrick’s distinct character. The X440’s engine produces 27 bhp and 38 Nm of peak torque when combined with a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch.

The motorcycle is likely to offer a similar single-pod TFT console or a semi-digital one, balancing features and cost considerations.

Competition

Upon its launch, the Hero Mavrick will compete against formidable rivals such as:

• Triumph Speed 400
• Royal Enfield Classic 350
• Hunter 350
• Harley Davidson V440
