Harley-Davidson has finally completely revealed its new made for India bike and it is also called X440. The bike is the first one to result from the Hero-Harley partnership and will give Harley a slice of the lucrative segment in terms of more potential volumes.

There is plenty of detailing with a round LED headlamp with a LED DRL in the centre with the logo. There is a mix of retro and modern here while the stance is quite aggressive.

You get round indicators, a tear drop shaped fuel tank and a single pod instrument cluster. There is also a single piece seat with a side slung exhaust plus a flat handlebar.

More details include upside-down front forks and adjustable twin shock absorbers. You do get disc brakes at both wheels and dual channel ABS. Wheel sizes are 18inch at the front and 17inch at the rear.

Exact power specifications have not been revealed yet but the X440 gets a 440cc engine which is a single cylinder oil cooled one. We expect the power figure to be more than some of its intended competition while the redline is at 8,000 rpm which also makes this a long stroke motor.

Hence, expect a cruiser like power delivery with ample low-end torque at your disposal. The launch would be around July and this bike could be priced at Rs 3 lakh.

The competition would of course be Royal Enfield in terms of the Classic 350 and the Meteor 350 but the pricing would be expected to be slightly higher than both.

The design overall of this bike is inspired to some extent by the XR motorcycles from Harley with its mix of retro/muscular styling cues. Expect more details on this soon.
