The strategic partnership between Harley-Davidson and Hero MotoCorp brought about the Harley-Davidson X440, a small-displacement road bike designed for the Indian market. While no other markets (as of now) have received the X440, the model has made headlines around the world as it marks the MoCo’s first foray into the entry-level segment, and the only modern-day single-cylinder model to bear the Bar and Shield.
Hero MotoCorp, one of the biggest motorcycle manufacturers in India, was responsible for the development and manufacture of the X440. Specializing in workhorse and commuter models equipped with single-cylinder engines, Hero pretty much knew what to do when it came to designing the X440, and it’s not all too surprising that the bike was such a hit, quickly raking in orders as booking for the new model opened.
