The upcoming Harley-Davidson X440 Roadster will be the first product of the Hero-Harley Davidson partnership. Under the partnership the motorcycles will be designed and developed by Harley-Davidson whereas Hero Motocorp will take care of the production, sales, service and after sales support.
If we talk about the design of the motorcycle will feature a neo-retro design with round shaped LED headlamps, round turn indicators and rearview mirrors. It features a tapered fuel tank, with prominent Harley Davidson and X440 badging on the tank, a large single seat, blacked out engine casing, and split pillion grab rail.

Harley-Davidson X440 Engine Specifications
In regards to the engine specifications, the brand has remained silent. A 440cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine is what we expect it to have. This engine will be paired with a 6-speed gearbox and should have 30 horsepower of power. Nevertheless, depending on the precise specifications revealed at the debut, these numbers may vary.
Verdict: The upcoming Harley Davidson X440 is the company's latest attempt to break into the sector of entry-level cruisers. The BMW G 310R, KTM Duke 390, and other high-end motorcycles in the same sector will be competitors of the upcoming X440.
