[webbikeworld.com] - Bh?rat Bikes: Hero?s Mavrick 440 vs. Harley?s X440
Click here for full story...
The newly
Back in January, we came across Hero’s social media, which held a series of countdown photos in anticipation of a “Mavrick 440.”*Now that Hero’s new road-goer is officially out and about (and we know well enough to keep that “e” out of the name “Mavrick”), queries are coming in asking if Harley-Davidson’s X440 and the Mavrick 440 are basically the same bike.* … They’re different, but it’s a close enough call to make the queries understandable. What do the Harley’s X440 and Hero’s Mavrick 440 have in common? While the Mavrick 440 is purported to take inspiration from Harley-Davidson’s Nightster for looks, the bike’s air-cooled engine is a fresh feature for HD blood.* That 440cc engine is the exact same platform found in both the X440 and the Mavrick 440; the companies have also nestled both engines into a steel trellis chassis, which is stopped by identical brake systems.* Beyond these little facts, we’re told by Hot Cars that it is incredibly unlikely the 440 duo will make it to American shores. From left to right: Hero’s Mavrick 440, Harley’s X440. Media provided by both Hero Motocorp and Harley-Davidson.What are the differences between Harley’s X440 and Hero’s Mavrick 440? Both Harley and Hero’s 440s might carry air-cooled power to compete against the likes of Royal Enfield’s 350 range, but Hero’s 440 apparently produces a smidge less power (2Nm, for what it’s worth).* Perhaps one of the biggest contributors to this difference in power displacement is the weight and wheel choice for each bike.* According to Motorcycle Specifications, Harley’s X440 sports a slightly larger (17”/18”) wheel equation with weight ratings as follows:
By the way, if you’re into digital doodads, best to look closer at the Mavrick 440, which we’re told carries a boatload of tech (35 features, if you can believe it) including the following:*
We finish this list of differences with a look at floating duties, of which Harley’s X440 tops the list with a nifty, spiffy KYB 43mm inverted fork. The Mavrick 440’s suspension is a tad more budget-minded, showing a 43mm telescopic fork for cruise-happy weekends. The above equation checks out when checking in on pricing, with Harley’s bike coming in at a premium price and Hero’s Mavrick 440 going for a much more modest Rs 239,500 (~$2,885 USD) (RideApart). What do you think of Harley X Hero’s 440 gang? Would you benefit from seeing these two on Western shores? *Media provided by Hero Motocorp and Harley-Davidson* The post Bh?rat Bikes: Hero’s Mavrick 440 vs. Harley’s X440 appeared first on webBikeWorld.
