KATHMANDU: The Harley-Davidson X440 T has been launched in India at 279,000 Indian rupees (ex-showroom). The bike uses the same 440cc, single-cylinder engine as the standard model.
The X440 T brings subtle updates, including a redesigned tail section. The stretched tail gives the bike a more balanced look. It continues with the teardrop-shaped fuel tank, round LED headlamp and single-pod instrument console.
It gets a single-piece seat, bar-end mirrors, alloy wheels and a single side-mounted exhaust.
The bike also adds ride-by-wire throttle. It includes switchable traction control, switchable rear ABS, panic braking alert and two riding modes: Road and Rain.
The 440cc engine produces 27 BHP and 38 Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The X440 T is offered in four colors: Pearl Blue, Pearl Red, Pearl White and Vivid Black.
The Harley-Davidson X440 competes with Royal Enfield’s 350cc lineup, Honda’s H’ness CB350 series and newer 400cc rivals like the Triumph Speed 400, the upcoming Hero Mavrick 440 and Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450.
