Engine
The Hero Mavrick 440 will be powered by the same engine as the Harley-Davidson X440. It’s a 440cc, single-cylinder, air-oil cooled engine that produces approximately 27 bhp of power and 38 Nm of torque.
The highlight of this engine is its smooth and torquey nature, which delivers excellent performance even at low RPMs. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, this engine offers a great experience for both city and highway rides. Hero has tuned this engine to suit its riding dynamics, ensuring better throttle response and control.
Suspension
This time Hero has given a major update to the Mavrick 440, USD (Upside Down) Front Forks. This feature improves the ride quality of the bike to a great extent. The front suspension is now more stable and responsive, due to which the bike feels more balanced during high-speed riding and cornering.
Also, twin shock absorbers have been provided in the rear, which are perfect for Indian roads. Hero has designed this bike in such a way that it feels comfortable not only on city roads but also on highways.
Design
Although the Hero Mavrick 440’s design is captivating at first glance, the bike’s styling is somewhat inspired by the Harley-Davidson X440, Hero has also added its own distinctive touch. The bike features a muscular fuel tank, LED headlights, sleek indicators, and signature taillamps.
Furthermore, the new USD forks give the front profile a more rugged look. Its thicker tires, blacked-out alloy wheels, and dual-tone finish give it a modern roadster appeal. Overall, the Mavrick 440’s design appears to be a perfect choice for those who prefer a bold and macho look.
Technology
The Hero Mavrick 440’s features put it ahead of many bikes in its segment. It’s expected to feature a full digital instrument cluster, Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and call/SMS alerts.
In addition, the bike is likely to feature dual-channel ABS, an LED lighting setup, and a USB charging port. Hero is positioning this bike as a premium roadster, and therefore, special attention has been paid to both safety and comfort.
