THE X440 IS THE FIRST PRODUCT TO COME out of the Hero MotoCorp and Harley-Davidson collaboration and has clearly been inspired by the XR models, which is evident from the styling of the front end of the motorcycle. It gets a 13.5-litre fuel tank and sports a round LED multi-projector headlight at the front with the daytime running lights (DRL) running through the middle. The bike comes with a really comfortable single-piece seat that tapers upwards towards the rear and flattens out for the pillion. This is a handsome roadster from some angles, although we would have liked to see a better-looking rear end.
Three variants of the X440 are on offer, the main distinguishing factors being the use of spoked wheels on the entry-level Denim model, alloy wheels on the mid-tier Vivid model, and diamond-cut alloy wheels on the highest S variant. The top-spec variant also gets a 3D-embossed Harley-Davidson logo on the tank, bronze highlights on the engine, and connectivity features as well. What we have here for this review is the Vivid variant in the Metallic Dark Silver colour scheme. In terms of features, the bike makes use of a 3.5-inch TFT screen which is easy to read and displays ample information. All the variants also get a USB charging port near the dash. Only the top-spec S variant gets Bluetooth connectivity, though.
