The Hero Mavrick 440 has been unveiled at Hero World 2024. The unveiling comes after many spy shots and teasers of the bike were dropped on social media. Now that the bike has been officially unveiled, we have a better idea of what this neo-retro roadster from Hero has to offer.

The Mavrick has a roadster-like design. It features a muscular tank with extensions that gives it a commanding presence. The round LED projector headlight, flanked by the circular LED indicators, goes well with the beefy fuel tank.

The single-piece seat looks well contoured, and the side panels get a horizontal Y-shaped design element (finished in metal in the top-end variant). The taillight is also an LED unit and comes with round indicators mounted on the long-ish number plate holder. The exhaust is different from that of the Harley-Davidson X440, and looks quite sharp.

Powering the Hero Mavrick 440 is a 440cc long-stroke air-/oil-cooled 2-valve single-cylinder engine. It makes 27.37PS at 6000rpm and 36Nm (2Nm less than the X440) at 4000rpm, with a claimed 90 percent of the torque produced at 2000rpm (same as the X440). The Mavrick comes with a 13.5-litre fuel tank, same as the Harley x440.

Coming to underpinnings, the Mavrick is built on a trellis frame and is suspended on a 43mm telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers, both offering 130mm wheel travel. The bike rolls on 17-inch wheels at both ends wrapped in a 110-section front and 150-section rear zero-degree steel belted radial MRF tyre.

Braking duties are handled by a 320mm front and 240mm rear disc. The bike has a seat height of 803mm, 2mm lower than the Harley X440’s 805mm. The Mavrick 440 also gets 5mm greater ground clearance than the Harley, at 175mm. The kerb weight comes to 187kg on the alloy wheel variants, which is 3 kg lighter than the Harley X440’s 190.5kg. The spoke wheel variant’s weight is 191kg.

The Mavrick comes with a fully digital negative LCD instrument cluster which houses the speedometer, tachometer, gear position indicator, distance to empty (DTE), mileage indicator, and a side stand alert alongside the regular readouts such as odometer and tripmeters. 

The bike also gets Bluetooth and e-Sim-based connectivity that provides functionalities like Call/SMS alert, turn-by-turn navigation, a digital clock, estimated time of arrival (ETA), phone battery indicator, remote tracking, and 35 other functionalities .

The Mavrick will be offered in 3 variants: Base, Mid and Top. The base variant gets spoke wheels and features one colour scheme: Arctic White. The Mid gets alloy wheels and will come in two colours: Celestial Blue and Fearless Red. The Top variant comes with diamond cut alloys, machined engine fins, and its instrument cluster gets Bluetooth connectivity. Prices are set to be announced in February, along with bookings,  with deliveries planned for April 2024. Expect the bike to be priced at under Rs 2 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant.

Once launched, the Mavrick 440 will compete with other neo-retro bikes in the market such as the Royal Enfield Classic 350, Jawa 42, Honda H’ness CB350 and Yezdi Roadster. More powerful alternatives include the Triumph Speed 400, and the Honda CB300R.
