Harley-Davidson X440 T Debuts in India

Hero MotoCorp and Harley-Davidson have officially launched the X440 T, expanding their 440cc motorcycle lineup in India. Priced at ₹2.79 lakh (ex-showroom), the X440 T is now the flagship model in Harley’s sub-500cc range, offering premium features and improved performance.

• The X440 T builds on the success of the standard X440, which debuted in July 2023 as the brand’s most accessible bike.
• Bookings for the X440 T and other 440 models begin on December 7, 2025, via Harley-Davidson and Hero Premia dealerships, as well as online platforms.

While the X440 T retains the familiar 440cc air-and-oil-cooled engine, it introduces a host of electronic and ergonomic enhancements aimed at delivering a more refined riding experience.

Key Functional Upgrades:

• Ride-by-Wire throttle for smoother and more responsive acceleration
• Two riding modes – Road and Rain, enhancing adaptability to varying conditions
• Switchable traction control for added safety and control
• Switchable rear ABS for better rider customization
• Segment-first Panic Braking Alert where all indicators flash under sudden deceleration to warn trailing vehicles

Comfort & Design Tweaks:

• Redesigned rear sub-frame with new tail section and grab rails, improving pillion comfort
• Slightly reworked fuel tank and new exhaust system with updated catalytic converter, heat shield, and end can
• Improved wiring layout and refined switchgear for better usability

Revised X440 Lineup and Pricing

To make the entire 440 range more competitive, Harley-Davidson has slashed prices on other models:

This price adjustment, along with the feature-rich X440 T, reflects Harley’s aim to broaden appeal in India’s premium commuter segment.

Powering both is the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 engine, delivering 115 HP and 189 Nm, paired with iconic Harley styling:

Both get:

Harley-Davidson also updated its entire Softail cruiser family, now offered with three performance levels of the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine:

• Classic
• Custom
• High Output

These updated Softails are already available at Harley-Davidson dealerships across the country.

Harley’s Renewed Focus on India

With the launch of the X440 T and reintroduction of high-end CVO models, Harley-Davidson—through its partnership with Hero MotoCorp—is strengthening its footprint in India across both premium commuter and luxury cruiser segments.

• The X440 T serves urban and highway riders looking for Harley character with modern tech.
