Harley-Davidson X440 Detailed Ride Review | STRELL

[@suryakantsharma8085]

Hero is re-mapping the xpulse 400 engine.. They started the Mavrick 440 project prior the Harley Partnership..so the engine is entirely developed by Hero and Design part is assisted by Harley. And we can se they did a very good job. So yes thats why Mavrick 440 needed to be launched.

[@dheerajyadav8134]

Wow, nice info. I thought otherwise, it was Harley that might have started engine work and hero collaboration in fine tuning and adjusting it with manufacturing line and process.

[@wheel3136]

Yeah, hope they make a scrambler version of it as well!

[@sovan_404]

when will hero's 400cc platform arrive? or is this their platform ahead?

[@swarnendughosh5379]

​@@sovan_404This is the platform. During the maverick launch the MD casually said "greater things are coming in the future". And then 1 week later someone spotted a big xpulse which may be xpulse 440. Let's see.

[@muralianimi]

Hey bro any reference material where they started working on Maverick 440 prior to partnership? Cuz I have friend who worked on 440 engine and he said that the engine blueprints were given by Harley

[@meteoriteuchiha]

It takes me 3 business days to reach 110-115 KPH on my Meteor 350. 😅

[@rajankaushik8140]

That's so true 😂

[@prasadte4275]

[@rachitanandhiremath2234]

Just imagine for classic 350 re ,but I love it​@@rajankaushik8140

[@hyakinthos_0902]

i see you as a person that rides RE the way its meant to ridden :) not chasing acceleration and top speed but a peaceful ride and thud thud xD

[@meteoriteuchiha]

@@hyakinthos_0902 absolutely yes. I ride my motorcycle the way it's supposed to be ridden, peacefully and gently. I prefer to enjoy the journey instead of rushing through it to the destination.

[@theevilnoob96]

I rode this motorcycle (a friend of mine owns this), this engine is just amazing for touring! It sits @4000 RPM on 6th gear for a speed of 100 kmph! What else do you need, no other bike manages to do this rpm at this speed.

[@AswinJP]

Literally all UCE 350s used to do 100 at 4K RPM

[@gauthamsv7628]

But still I'm inclined towards Triumph 400's

[@AlexBacon1000]

That sounds rather high for rpm for 100kmph I get it's not my softail but that sounds like a grenade

[@theevilnoob96]

@@AlexBacon1000 even duke 390 sits @5-6k rpm, HONDA NX 500 sits at 5.5k, cbr 650r too

[@indiacha]

100 kmph is piece of cake for CB350 but i agree it has better top end performance.

[@aditya_k43]

X440 looks badass in red❤

[@IshaanAFK]

I'm eagerly waiting to drive mine out of the showroom end of this month. Same Vivid Red variant. Looked sexier than the S variant to me. I tried the Mavrick as well. Mostly because it has recesses to tuck your knees in but I wasn't impressed with its road presence. I was sitting on it, checking the ergonomics, my cousin arrived, he stood there, looked at it, and said it looked FZ-ish. Sigh! But let me tell you this, the front suspension on the Mavrick felt better to me. It didn't bottom out on the same potholes where the X440's did. If you're good with Mavrick's design, you'll love owning the motorcycle.

[@be.Animated]

how's your experience bhAAi ?

[@IshaanAFK]

@@be.Animated It's been great, brother. I've ridden mine for 2000 KMs so far and it's a delight. City riding is effortless and she can hold decent speeds on the highway as well. The only letdown is the front suspension damping. It's bad. But the rest is a supremely feelsome motorcycle. You'll love the thumping nature of the engine. ❤️

[@be.Animated]

@@IshaanAFK ok thank u 😊

[@sushantkhurana4765]

Now that you are going to review Mavrick 440, Please mention few concerns in the video. 1. Is it more comfortable than X440? 2. How is the road presence? 3. Should a person should go for x440, if they have the budget? Or stick to mavrick considering the fact that hero too have a larger network and it is more value for money? I previously had 150CC bike (suzuki GS 150R) so to me, mavrick appeals more as riding triangle is kind of a similar. Earlier I had plans for Meteor 350 so I have dropped it when I took the test ride for this and mavrick.

[@PRATHMH]

Test rode both bikes. I ridden both so van guide you. Maverick is very very nimble and agile. I have Xtreme 150 which does feel heavy at b2b traffic speed but mavrick 440 is very flick able. Plus Harley has turtle shaped tank where as Mavrich tank has different design which helps gripped thighs providing excellent grip support. Only con i felt was instrument cluster which should have been bigger and better in Mavrick. Reat its excellent bike and cheaper too than Harley

[@oshoosho8466]

​@@PRATHMH I too took Maverick test ride. Wasn't comfortable with the Gears, found it occasionally stiff and Neutral was often Missing. I don't know whether the problem was in the particular Test Bike or it's in all Mavericks. On the contrary CB350 Gear System was excellent.

[@ramagopalanflautist3259]

Why you drop meteor 350 it's a good bike as well?

[@PRATHMH]

@@oshoosho8466 as current bike is hero Xtreme, gear shifts are not so smooth plus its very easy to find neutral and it do make cluck sound which i am used to now😂. Based on that i found mavrik gear shifts are much much better. Meteor gear shifts are kind same like mavrik

[@sushantkhurana4765]

@@ramagopalanflautist3259 the engine is of 350cc but lacks performance. Mavrick's ride is much smoother and better.

[@bhabani5913]

Did a test ride of both x440 and speed 400, man oh man the x440 is just amazing in terms of ride quality it’s torquey it’s stable feels like a HD. Cruises really smooth on 100 kmph. Amazing job done by HD and Hero.

[@shrikanth_sasi]

A touring seat is provided which is a lot more comfortable than the stock seat for long distance touring. The seat height will go up to 825 mm though.

[@Vkwandering]

Is there any way to hide the cable on the right side? It takes the view off when I say on it. Can’t now overlook it now.

[@random.random]

Please review Maverick with emphasis on city ride and comfort.

[@Jack_Kulkarni]

Indian manufacturers pushing SINGLE CYLINDER vibration machines to smoothen roads for Indian market, should have been parallel or V twin of 220 cc cylinder each in affordable price would have been international hit "Made in India for World"

[@wheel3136]

If I'm not wrong, this is a variation of the Hero dakar engine displacing about the same cubic capacity. Hence, the single cylinder!

[@Jack_Kulkarni]

@@wheel3136 yeah but since they have made bike for touring they could have made parallel or Vtwin as rally bikes have different purpose

[@wheel3136]

I agree but that would cost money in R&D. Also, Hero having a reputation as a company which makes commuters only until recently, they may have wanted to play it safe.

[@Jack_Kulkarni]

Yeah bro but having a strong partner like HD they could have done it easily, & R&D cost are cheapest in India skilled youtuber like LeDan builds 4 cyl / boxer twin engines in this back yard , it's just these Indian uncles sitting in top management don't want innovation they are ok with regular Potato sabzi & dosa they never think of upgrading to Paneer

[@SurajSinghTomarArya]

Even Ducati just launched 700cc single. Enfield single cylinder bikes are best seller in Europe. But I agree, they should have launched a 300cc or even 250cc v-twin instead.

[@sovan_404]

nice video as always Mr. Strell...please do a review on the mavrick 440 as well and compare it to HD X440 [17 vs 18(tyres), usd vs telescopic,...overall does it make sense for collaborating companies to sell two different versions of the same bike?]

[@authorizedplayer]

X440 wins it for sure. Its neatly done. Infact i know a friend who liked the x440 after him getting the Speed400 which he fell for the looks.

[@rajendrabareto8065]

I booked this in October 23. When will I get it?

[@SwathiNPoojary]

The main problem is engine oil cost. If I'm not wrong just the oil cost us around 2.7k .. they shoud reduce the price of it

[@jdmotorist]

When will you review XMR?

[@pritamghosh7068]

Plz suggest between highness 350 or this one x440... Which one to buy?

[@Blazer_Devil]

If you have the budget, and if you like cruising and long rides, go for the X440. If not, and if you just want a machine for city riding alone, a CB350 might be a better choice due to the budget. At the end of the day, do test ride both before you make the decision.

[@IshaanAFK]

Hey @strell, I really hope you answer this. Does the front feel wobbly or unstable at higher speeds of let's say 120-130 Kmph? I just want to be doubly sure before I get mine in a couple weeks. Thanks in advance!

[@RRP1992]

In case Stell doesn't reply, here is my opinion. There is no wobbling or stability issues at any speed. However, I wouldn't at all recommend cruising above 110 kmph. Single cyl bikes aren't meant to be ridden at 110-120+ speeds constantly. Engine feels smooth up to 110 kmph post which there are some vibes.

[@IshaanAFK]

@@RRP1992 Thanks a ton for responding. I'm not looking to chase top speeds but when you have a motorcycle this awesome, I don't want to be disappointed by not being able to extract those few seconds of adrenaline sometimes. 😃 That's all.

Sir I am going to buy either x440 or Jawa 42 fj. Please suggest which one to buy. I am a 43 yr old and drives in the city a lot..? Please suggest

[@msk1996-1]

Go for x440. Jawa isn't reliable yet Harley has a strong brand value and engine made by hero is also pretty good. Overall a more premium experience than jawa

[@michaelreed9805]

Check out the retro kawasaki brought back to life. The Z900rs cafe! Beautiful retro done right

[@arunkumar-zn5fh]

Given the chance to you... which bike you choose Harley or classic 350 or cb350 ?

[@FinanceMadeEasy-TH]

Question is answered in the video, if you are a long time audience of Strell.

[@iamstrell]

I'd take off the classic 350 out of the list because it's heavy and less powerful in the lot (one can choose it if that's the spec if they were looking for. I'd choose CB 350 when I am in the mood to ride a slow EV refinement motorcycle. I'd choose the X440 when I want to ride fast and make some road presence. With my riding style, I will be going with the last mentioned option.

[@jennisonr]

Still waiting for your Vitpilen 250 video😢 no one really seems to care about the bike...

[@trishoolr5201]

don't know whether anybody noticed it or not, The handle bar was tilted to left. I got worried

[@Varunarora24]

I noticed that too. I think that's because the camera mount angle.

[@iamstrell]

It's the camera angle problem. So sorry for that

[@goe_vj]

Hero should give a xpulse 440 and Karizma 440

[@aamirshihab4183]

Karizma 440 not with this long strock engine

[@goe_vj]

Just modify that engine .. whatever feels the best

[@thejoker9526]

I have denim variant. Even though it has a spoke wheel it is tubeless as written on its tyre .

[@kalimirchi4126]

I needed classic like comfort in this bike seat.

[@harsh.macbeth]

I ride around the 80kmph speed. Does the X440 still be more value for money than the CB350RS?

[@rahul___k]

Depends on the exhaust, features and especially brand value.

[@iamstrell]

Honda is VFM in this case from an owners POV. Because it's affordable to maintain. But still said that, pls take a test ride on both motorcycles. I am sure you will be inclined to one after that. Stick to that. Both are good motorcycles for your use.

[@siddheshbalshetwar3869]

I own a RS… and let me tell you refinement is next level and the exhaust note uff ❤️❤️🤌🏽… But it does lack power beyond 115-120 which I think is more than enough on Indian highways Only scenario where the x440 makes sense is if you want to ride at 120+ speeds and a very loud(not necessarily pleasant) exhaust note

[@harsh.macbeth]

I actually took the test ride for both the bikes. RS impressed me. You actually dont feel the weight of the X440 when riding...and it adds more of a aspirational value. But RS is a no fuss bike. I will most likely go for the hue edition

[@nirmal_kumar_ak]

​@@siddheshbalshetwar3869😂😂😂😂 RS is not comfortable seat for pillion and Harely-Davidson X440s exhaust sound Is segment best and best LED headlight in the segment. I really challenge for this two. And Harely-Davidson X440s have Immobilizer and geosim. Features.

honestly... i like this more then Speed 400 because IT'S NOT AVAILBLE ANYWHERE....

[@badabingbadaboom9251]

Such an amazing motorcycle man

[@sud5529]

For me the main difference between this and something like the Triumph Speed 400 is the confidence it gives to the parent manufacturer to sell it worldwide. The Speed 400 is sold everywhere by Triumph, and Harley only sells this in India. That may only sound like half the story, but it's a testament to the overall quality levels of both bikes. The other half is of course brand strategy, which can vary too.

[@RRP1992]

Internationally, Harley buyers don't mind spending crazy and get a big bike. Even the Harley 750 is frowned upon by the Harley hardcores so imagine launching 440x single cyl harley in western countries. It simply won't work at all.

[@SurajSinghTomarArya]

How does it matter to the end customer though? In the end what matters is how the bike makes you feel while riding it.

[@sahidulalam8511]

[@nexbit3796]

I have bought this bike, and im a beginner, and it’s manageable, just that momentum feels too much due to weight even on 60-70 km/hr for me. Also this bike is known for being manageable without changing gears much, but even after 2 months of riding i sometimes stall this bike on speed breakers and traffic signals😂😂😅

[@ashutoshkhedwal1280]
