Priced between Rs. 2.40 lakh and Rs. 2.80 lakh ex-showroom, it offers a 440cc single-cylinder engine, dual ABS, and practical features for everyday riding.
Retro and Street-Ready Design
The X440 features a compact and low-slung design with dimensions of 2165 mm length, 780 mm width, and 1115 mm height, and a 1445 mm wheelbase. With a kerb weight of 190.5 kg and 170 mm ground clearance, it is nimble in traffic and stable on highways. The 2025 update adds Metallic Silver to existing colors like Matte Black and Vivid Green. It has a teardrop fuel tank, round LED headlamp, and spoke wheels for the base variant. The 785 mm seat height and wide handlebars make it suitable for a range of rider heights.
Rider-Friendly Cockpit
The solo saddle and upright handlebars provide a relaxed riding posture. The digital-analog instrument cluster displays speed, fuel, gear, and Bluetooth notifications via the Harley app for navigation or calls on Vivid and S trims. A USB port keeps devices charged, and the 13.5-liter fuel tank supports optional pillion seating. The minimalist dashboard keeps the riding experience focused and enjoyable.
Powerful 440cc Single-Cylinder Engine
The X440 is powered by a 440cc air-oil cooled single-cylinder engine producing 27 bhp at 6,500 rpm and 38 Nm at 4,000 rpm. A five-speed gearbox provides smooth shifts, with 0-100 km/h acceleration in 8-9 seconds and a top speed of 140 km/h. ARAI-certified mileage is 35 km/l, with real-world consumption around 30-32 km/l, offering a range of 400-450 km per tank.
Suspension and Handling
The bike has telescopic front forks and twin rear shocks, delivering a comfortable ride over city roads and highways. Its tubular frame and wide tires provide cornering stability, while the lightweight build makes it easy to maneuver in traffic.
Safety Features
Dual-channel ABS with 280 mm front and 240 mm rear discs ensures reliable stopping power. Additional safety features include an LED tail light, kill switch, and side-stand cut-off. While traction control is not included, the bike’s design and build offer sufficient security for new riders.
