Hero Mavrick 440
Bike India
|January 2025
SINCE IT CAME INTO my clutches, I have been guarding the Mavrick 440's keys rather jealously. I loathe to even think of returning it, though that is inevitable some time in the future.
Honestly, it was the biggest surprise of 2024 for me, for I didn't expect much when I first saw the photos of the bike. It looked as expected, having been derived from the Hero/Harley-Davidson platform which also spawned the X440, except that the design is more coherent compared to the Harley, albeit mostly forgettable.

A Rewarding Ride
RECEIVED THE KEYS TO OUR Royal Enfield Guerilla 450 long-term test motorcycle about two months ago, and having added over 1,100 km to the odometer since then, I can safely say it is one of the most perfectly imperfect motorcycles I've lived with.
