The X440T Harley Davidson is the second motorcycle on Harley’s 440 cc platform, developed in partnership with Hero MotoCorp. It takes the mechanical base of the Harley Davidson X440 and gives it a sharper, sportier look with a more premium feature set.
Early images and details suggest that the X440T is aimed at riders who like the X440’s character but want a cleaner tail section, new colours and extra tech such as ride-by-wire and possible riding modes.
Exterior & Interior Design
On the outside, the X440T Harley Davidson keeps the muscular roadster stance of the X440 but reworks the rear three-quarter area quite heavily. The bike gets a longer, sleeker tail cowl and a revised rear fender that reduces the gap between the wheel and fender, making the bike look more athletic and better proportioned from behind.
The seat is redesigned and appears slightly longer, which should help pillion comfort on city commutes and weekend rides. Bar-end mirrors replace the standard mirrors, giving the front a more modern, custom-inspired look, while the exhaust gets a new heat shield and the engine cases receive bronze accents on some versions.
There is no “interior” in the car sense, but the rider interface is similar to the X440: a circular digital display with smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation and basic ride information. Reports also point to the possibility of added electronics enabled by a ride-by-wire throttle, such as riding modes and traction control.
Colors Available
The X440T Harley Davidson is expected to be offered in multiple new paint options, each with fresh graphics that clearly separate it from the standard X440.
- Black with sporty graphics
- Red with contrast tank and tail graphics
- White with dark panels
- Blue with chequered-style side graphics

- New seat designed for better pillion comfort
- Bar-end mirrors for a cleaner, sportier front profile

Engine / EV Specifications
X440T Harley Davidson is a petrol-powered motorcycle, not an EV. It is expected to use the same engine and core hardware as the existing Harley Davidson X440.
- Engine: 440 cc, single-cylinder, air and oil-cooled
- Power: around 27 bhp (27.4 PS) at 6,000 rpm (expected, similar to X440)
- Torque: around 38 Nm at 4,000 rpm
- Gearbox: 6-speed with slip-and-assist clutch
- Frame: Steel trellis frame
- Suspension: 43 mm USD forks (front), twin shock absorbers with preload adjustment (rear)
- Brakes: Disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS
- Wheels: 18-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels
Mileage / Range
As the X440T uses the same engine, its fuel efficiency should be in a similar range to the Harley Davidson X440. Real-world mileage is expected to be roughly 30–35 kmpl, depending on riding style and traffic conditions. With a fuel tank capacity similar to the X440 (around 13.5 litres), practical riding range on the X440T should comfortably cross 350–400 km between fuel stops for mixed usage, though actual results will vary from rider to rider.
Safety Features
- Dual-channel ABS as standard
- Front and rear disc brakes for strong braking performance
- Wide tyres for better grip and stability
- LED lighting (headlamp, tail-lamp and indicators) for clearer visibility
- Expected traction control and riding modes enabled by ride-by-wire (to be confirmed at launch)
Price & Launch Date
Multiple reports confirm that the X440T Harley Davidson has been unveiled and is scheduled to launch in India in early December 2025, with some sources indicating a launch around the first weekend of December.
In terms of pricing, the X440T is expected to sit slightly above the current Harley Davidson X440. The X440 carries an ex-showroom price range of roughly ₹2.4–2.8 lakh in India, and early estimates put the X440T in the ₹2.4–3.0 lakh (ex-showroom) bracket. Final prices will be clear once Harley Davidson and Hero MotoCorp officially announce them.
Discount
As of now, there is no official information about introductory discounts or launch offers on the X440T Harley Davidson. Introductory prices are usually kept competitive at launch, and dealer-level benefits such as exchange bonuses or small cash discounts may come later, depending on demand and inventory. Buyers should check with local Harley Davidson–Hero dealers around launch for any limited-time schemes.
Tax
Like other premium motorcycles in this segment, the X440T Harley Davidson will attract standard two-wheeler GST and state-level road tax, registration fees and insurance.
These charges vary by state and city in India, so the on-road price can be noticeably higher than the ex-showroom price. It is always best to ask for a detailed on-road quotation from the nearest authorised dealer before making a purchase decision.
Review – Early Impressions
Since the X440T Harley Davidson has only been unveiled and not yet delivered to customers, detailed ride reviews are still awaited. Early impressions based on photos and first-look reports suggest that Harley has addressed one common visual complaint about the X440 – the relatively plain rear – by giving the X440T a more angular, filled-out tail and sharper stance.
If the expected tech upgrades such as ride-by-wire, riding modes and traction control are confirmed at launch, the X440T could feel more premium and modern without changing the proven 440 cc engine and chassis package. Overall, it looks like a more stylish and feature-rich variant aimed at riders who want Harley Davidson branding with a contemporary roadster look and everyday usability.
Comparisons
In the Indian market, the X440T Harley Davidson will compete with other mid-capacity roadsters and neo-retro motorcycles such as the Triumph Speed 400, Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet (on price overlap) and upcoming 400–450 cc offerings from rival brands.
Compared to these rivals, the X440T’s strengths are likely to be:
- Harley Davidson brand appeal in an accessible displacement band
- A torquey 440 cc single well suited to Indian roads
- New-age styling with bar-end mirrors and sportier rear design
- Potential electronic aids (modes, traction control) if confirmed at launch
However, final judgments on comfort, real-world performance and value will depend on official pricing and detailed road tests once the motorcycle goes on sale.
