Hero Mavrick 440 Road Test Review | Flagship Hero Tested

Hero MotoCorp as a brand has been synonymous with commuter bikes such as the Splendor, Passion, HF Deluxe and more. While these motorcycles have played a pivotal role in making Hero, the largest two-wheeler brand in India, it isn’t a particularly aspirational brand.
Hero has been changing that image by introducing many new exciting and premium two-wheelers over the past few years. What we’re riding today is the summit of the Hero MotoCorp, the Mavrick 440, a motorcycle made in collaboration with Harley-Davidson. Being a Hero motorcycle, it’s much more affordable than its American sibling, but the key question is, is the Mavrick 440 a proper Top Gun? Find the answer in the Acko Drive Road Test Video

An important correction: It is primarily a Hero engineered product - the chasis, engine and all. HD joined later and worked on designing X440 styling.

[@BrattyBiker]

The Engine's top-end and gearbox are derived straight from the Iron 883 while the gearbox has received a rework, the top-end is pretty much an exact replica from the 883 architecture.

[@tathagatahalder]

@@BrattyBiker As per Hero officials during the launch ride, Hero's engine gearbox chassis started development much before HD joined in the programme. Subhabrat will also confirm that. May be Iron 883 was a benchmark. But no official clarification on that.

[@DAB009]

Now it's time that Harley Davidson pushes the engine in HD Pan Americana Chasis and give is a dhansu bike.

Hi, the engine development was done in collaboration with the prototypes being built in India and sent to USA for validation and further inputs by H-D engineers.

🌟 Overall Great Value Offering With Exceptional Quality & Fit-Finish From Hero Motocorp But Frankly Speaking, This Bike Seriously Lacks The Indian Vibe...... Whether It Is Design Or Naming, This Bike Lacks That Desi Machho Appeal Which Generally Associated With This Segment....... I'm Not Surprised If This Bike Goes In Dominar Way😐

[@narindertandon6326]

Well put across.. nicely explained.. Kudos to the presenter and the camera team.. the effort is commendable.. Loved watching this..

[@mohit5496]

For me as a short rider, short seat height is a feature, not a bug

[@frankensteinarmy545]

The only problem is the price as it directly competes with Triump speed 400 which has almost same price. So people would definitely hesitate to buy hero bike at the price when Triumph is available.

[@tathagatahalder]

Why the helmet is always in the video frame? Is it a promotion? Feels cheeky in an otherwise good (as has been the case) review by Arun.

[@ArunNadar-AckoDrive]

Thanks for the feedback and appreciation. The whole idea of keeping the helmet in the frame is to promote safety and safe riding, something which is very dear and crucial for Acko Drive. If anything is sponsored, we do ensure that it's mentioned clearly as a sponsored content and maintain honesty in our communication.

[@tathagatahalder]

@@ArunNadar-AckoDrive That's fine, but in turn, it acts as a fly in the ointment of a perfect photo frame with a bike!

@@tathagatahalder thanks for the feedback, we shall discuss this to find a solution :)

Price reduction will consider it to be a value purchase

9:03. So 803mm seat height is low for you , that too for heavy motorcycle and considering the average height of people here?

[@vbanner]

800mm is average for commuters like shine and splendor too.

[@seepranavg]

@@vbanner I think it will be 10-15mm lesser. But biggest difference is seat width of

[@samrat_thebestpal]

Hero forgot to design the bike.

[@depai9757]

Why is the fuel tank only 13.5? That provides max 360km. I think bike with an economy of 20-30 should always come with 15lt tank. I ride rtr 160, crusing at 90-95 it provides a mileage of 45, that gives me a range of 500-550km.

[@ArunNadar-AckoDrive]

I agree a larger fuel tank on such bikes is very beneficial during touring.

[@nishantgurjar7232]

Hero should just bring back Karizma ZMR , that bulky and beautiful bike. If you put fat types on it, it looks like a super bike. Truly legend 😍😍. New Karizma looks so wierd and small in comparison.

[@ArunNadar-AckoDrive]

The Hero Karizma clears deserves a bigger engine and proper makeover, especially given the fact that the Bajaj Pulsar is now available with an almost 400 cc engine in the form of the NS400Z.

[@mg1721]

The real competition to this and X440 is the upcoming Guerrilla 450 from RE

[@ArunNadar-AckoDrive]

Price wise, the Guerrilla 450 will be more expensive, we're riding the new bike next month, hope you have subscribed :)

[@mg1721]

@@ArunNadar-AckoDriveGood point. I meant in the engine cc class rather than the price class. And yes I've subscribed!! Also it's launching next month!? 😉

If they would keep top model somewehere around 2 lakh 20 thousand on road it would sell like hot cakes

That means an ex-showroom price of close to Rs 1.80 lakh, a real tough call!

[@vishnupillai300]

Why hero is not aggresiively promoting these bikes??I havent seen an Ad of this bike or even the karizma in television..Somehow Hero after launching a bike seems like forget to promote that..

[@anmolkale16]

Man, I wonder why no one notices that hideous dummy left switch cube on the left. It feels so obnoxiously cheap, like the older cars where they used to give you a bucket load of dummy buttons on the lower trims, to make you feel bad about the features you don't have.

[@ArunNadar-AckoDrive]

Hahaha we did, the actual reason is that the switch gear is shared with the Harley X440 that gets switch cubes, which is missing on the bike and hence the empty space.

[@anmolkale16]

@@ArunNadar-AckoDrive Hahaha, I figured that out, but they should've came out with a better solution for their so called "Flagship Bike". I believe it's the little details like this, which differentiates between a premium and an average product.

[@ArunNadar-AckoDrive]

@@anmolkale16 totally agree with you, in fact the switch cubes should have been carried forward.

Not selling much. Just a whisker more than the Dominar.

Deliveries just started, let's wait and watch for a few months to really gauge its sales performance.

[@amitchakrabarti1403]

I did not like the fit finish of the bike. The brake and gear pedals feel flimsy. Not interested.

[@ArunNadar-AckoDrive]

The pedals on our test bike was fine, but the crude welds on the cat-con was an eyesore.
