Harley-Davidson X440T— What’s New & Why You Should Care

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The launch marks Harley-Davidson’s renewed attempt to strengthen its presence in the mid-size commuter-cruiser segment in India. Backed by its partnership with Hero MotoCorp, the X440T promises a blend of cruiser styling, modern electronics, and accessible pricing.
What’s New on X440T — Key Upgrades Over X440
Redesigned Rear Section & Cleaner Looks
One of the most noticeable changes is in the rear design. The X440T receives a reworked rear sub-frame, new tail section, black-finished fenders, and updated grab handles — all contributing to a sleeker, more cohesive stance. This addresses the common criticism of the earlier X440’s bulky rear end.

Modern Electronics – Ride-by-Wire, Ride Modes, Traction Control & Switchable ABS
X440T brings substantial electronic upgrades which are rare in this price-segment:
- Ride-by-wire throttle — smoother throttle control and response.
- Two ride modes: Road & Rain — useful for changing conditions and enhances versatility.
- Switchable Traction Control & Rear ABS — allows riders to control safety aids depending on road conditions.
- Panic Braking Alert — indicators blink rapidly under sudden braking, alerting vehicles behind, a segment-first safety feature.
Same Engine, Refined Setup
Mechanically, X440T retains the same 440 cc, air/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine as the standard X440 — churning out ~27.3 bhp and 38 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox.
Suspension remains KYB-fed: 43 mm upside-down front fork and twin gas-charged shocks at rear. Diamond-cut alloy wheels, disc brakes front and rear, and 192 kg kerb weight round out the hardware profile.
With these updates, X440T aims to deliver cruiser looks plus modern safety and convenience — at a price point that remains accessible for many Indian riders.
Pricing & Booking: What Buyers Need to Know
- Ex-showroom Price: ₹2,79,500

In addition, Harley-Davidson has revised prices of older X440 variants — making the entire X440 family more accessible.
Who Should Consider the X440T?
The X440T is targeted at riders who:
- Want cruiser-style looks + modern electronics under ₹3 Lakh
- Prefer manageable power for city + occasional highway use
- Want a comfortable pillion seat and urban practicality
- Value safety features like traction control, ABS, ride modes
Given its refined design and electronics upgrades — features seldom offered at this price — X440T aims to be one of the most balanced commuter-cruisers in its segment.
What to Keep in Mind (Trade-Offs)
- Engine specs remain modest — not a high-end performance bike. So, don’t expect superbike-level thrill.
- Mileage: official ARAI figure is ~30 km/l. Real-world economy may vary.
- On-road price may go up once RTO, insurance, and GST are included — cities outside metro may see somewhat higher on-road cost.
Final Verdict: X440T Makes Cruiser Dreams Affordable & Smart
With the new Harley-Davidson X440T, the brand — via Hero collaboration — has struck a sweet spot: cruiser styling + modern electronics + affordable price.
For urban riders or commuting enthusiasts seeking a premium-looking bike without burning a hole in the pocket, X440T could be the best cruiser deal of 2025. Its updates address many of the shortcomings of the older X440, and with the added safety and convenience features, it becomes a very relevant offering for Indian roads today.
If you’ve been eyeing a cruiser for city + weekend riding under ₹3 Lakh — now is a good time to check out the X440T.
