We rode the Hero Mavrick 440 & here’s what we think about its real world performance

A well executed neo-retro design – Gets a large round headlight, massive sculpted tank & extensions

Fails to capture that ‘big bike’ look & feel you’d expect from a 400cc motorcycle

440cc long stroke engine offers good bottom end grunt & mid-range performance

Can cruise at triple-digit speeds on the highway without feeling stressed

Comes off as quite agile and nimble despite the heavy kerb weight of 187kg

Well-tuned suspension setup which can easily absorb most bumps & potholes

Offers a comfortable commuter-like riding position with the wide handlebars & mid-set footpegs

Instrument console is hard to rear due to the small size & low brightness
