The iconic Harley-Davidson has re-entered the Indian mid-capacity motorcycle segment with a powerful offering — the Harley-Davidson X440 2025. This latest machine is a perfect fusion of old-school cruiser aesthetics with contemporary features and engineering, designed for riders who value tradition and technology in equal measure.
Built in collaboration with Hero MotoCorp, the X440 brings signature Harley charisma at a price that makes the brand more accessible than ever before.
Timeless Design with Heritage Appeal
The Harley-Davidson X440 sticks closely to the brand’s traditional design ethos. With its muscular fuel tank, round LED headlamp, wide handlebars, and low-slung body, the bike commands attention and evokes a classic cruiser feel. Metal body panels, teardrop indicators, and a sculpted seat enhance both looks and comfort.
The premium paint schemes and signature badging make it unmistakably Harley, while alloy wheels and modern LED elements give it a sharp, up-to-date touch.
Powerful Performance with Everyday Usability
The X440 is powered by a 440cc oil-cooled single-cylinder engine delivering 27 bhp and 38 Nm torque. Designed for low-end torque and smooth power delivery, it’s ideal for relaxed cruising and spirited highway rides. The 6-speed transmission ensures smooth shifts and highway-friendly performance.
The exhaust has been tuned for a deep, throaty sound — characteristic of Harley — making the ride feel engaging and soulful.
Built to Handle Indian Roads
A tubular trellis frame underpins the motorcycle, providing balance and confidence at various speeds. Front USD forks and twin rear gas-charged shock absorbers ensure a ride that’s comfortable yet controlled — ideal for Indian road conditions.
It features disc brakes on both wheels with dual-channel ABS, ensuring strong and safe stopping power. With a seat height of 805 mm and kerb weight of approximately 190 kg, the bike is manageable for most riders.
The upright handlebar and forward-set footpegs allow for a relaxed cruiser riding posture, suited for both short trips and long highway rides.
Smart Tech with Classic Charm
The X440 doesn’t compromise on technology. It includes:
- Fully digital TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity
- Turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts, and music controls
- Full LED lighting system
- Side-stand engine cut-off, hazard lights, and USB charging
All these features enhance rider convenience while retaining a retro appeal.
Price and Variants
The Harley-Davidson X440 is offered in three variants:
- Denim – ₹2.39 Lakh
- Vivid – ₹2.59 Lakh
- S – ₹2.79 Lakh (top-end with smart connectivity and alloys)
At this price, it competes directly with Royal Enfield Classic 350, Honda CB350, and Jawa 42 — while offering the unmatched Harley heritage.
Final Verdict
The Harley-Davidson X440 2025 is more than just a motorcycle — it’s an emotion. With its classic design, smart features, and robust performance, it caters to both old-school enthusiasts and new-age riders looking for a cruiser with credibility and style.
