Hero Mavrick 440
The recently unveiled teaser displays the motorcycle's silhouette from the front and top angles. The Mavrick's front will feature a circular LED headlamp accompanied by LED DRLs. Noteworthy details from the teaser include an offset instrument cluster and a single tubular handlebar. The top view reveals a robust tank with sharp extensions, a single seat, and a thick pillion grab rail.
Notable details captured in the spy shots comprise LED turn indicators and alloy wheels featuring a diamond-cut pattern. The circular tail light stands out, diverging from the rounded-rectangular design seen in the HD X440. Another distinct feature is the raised placement of the rear mudguard and the existence of a shorter fender at the front.
The motorcycle, inspired by the Harley Davidson X440, will be equipped with the same 440cc single-cylinder engine. The tuning of the Mavrick may vary slightly from the HD X440, where the latter generates 27 bhp of power and 38 Nm of peak torque.
