Harley-Davidson X440 T — Overview

The Harley-Davidson X440 T is a cruiser bike available at a starting price of Rs. 2,79,500 in India. It comes in 1 variant and 4 colours. It is powered by a 440 cc BS6 Phase 2B engine and has a user reported mileage of 30 kmpl. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Harley-Davidson X440 T comes with anti-locking braking system. The X440 T bike weighs 192 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 13.5 liters. It develops a power output of 27.37 bhp and a torque of 38 Nm.

Harley-Davidson launched the X440 T on December 6, 2025 at Rs 2,79,500 - and it arrived as a direct response to every criticism the original X440 had collected. The T is not just a cosmetic refresh: 72+ changes across the bike address the fit-and-finish complaints, the front fork dive under braking, and the absence of rider aids. Most significantly, ride-by-wire opens the door to Road and Rain riding modes, switchable traction control, and switchable rear ABS - features that put the X440 T ahead of its segment rivals on electronics. Built at Hero MotoCorp's Neemrana plant, this is a Harley that's genuinely made in India, designed for Indian roads, and priced to compete with the best retro-modern bikes the segment has to offer.

What We Like

  • Ride-by-wire unlocks Road and Rain modes plus switchable traction control - the most comprehensive electronics package in the segment at this price
  • XR1200-inspired redesigned rear end with integrated LED tail-light gives the X440 T a proper Harley identity that the original clearly lacked
  • 43mm KYB USD front forks with progressive damping fix the front-end dive issue owners reported on the standard X440
  • 72+ build quality and refinement improvements over the X440 - the gap in fit, finish, and component feel is immediately noticeable

What Could Be Better

  • At Rs 2,79,500, it costs Rs 40,000-45,000 more than the Triumph Speed 400, which offers a liquid-cooled engine and 40 bhp against the X440 T's 27.37 PS
  • Emergency SOS button reportedly unreliable - owners report needing multiple presses for it to send a notification
  • Wire management at the handlebar cluster is visibly untidy and inconsistent with the bike's premium price positioning

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Harley-Davidson X440 T?

The Harley-Davidson X440 T is what the original X440 should have been at launch - properly finished, properly equipped, and genuinely fun to ride. The KYB suspension and ride-by-wire electronics make a meaningful difference in everyday riding, and the redesigned rear section finally makes it look like a Harley. The price premium over the Triumph Speed 400 is hard to justify purely on performance, but if brand cachet, the retro-modern aesthetic, and the Hero service network matter to you, the X440 T earns its Rs 2,79,500 asking price.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the ex-showroom price of the Harley-Davidson X440 T in India?▾
The Harley-Davidson X440 T is priced at Rs 2,79,500 ex-showroom pan-India. On-road prices vary by city: Delhi Rs 3,23,771, Mumbai Rs 3,34,951, and Bangalore Rs 3,57,568 - with the difference reflecting state road tax rates.
QWhat is the real-world mileage of the Harley-Davidson X440 T?▾
The ARAI-certified mileage of the X440 T is 35 kmpl. Real-world figures from the X440 platform average 27-33 kmpl depending on riding style and traffic conditions. The 13.5-litre tank gives a practical range of approximately 375-445 km on a full fill.
QWhat is the EMI for the Harley-Davidson X440 T?▾
Financing 80% of the ex-showroom price (Rs 2,23,600) at 10% interest over 36 months gives an EMI of approximately Rs 7,200 per month, with a down payment of roughly Rs 55,900. At 6% interest the EMI drops to around Rs 6,800. This makes the X440 T one of the most affordable new Harleys ever to be financed in India.
QWhat are the key differences between the X440 and X440 T?▾
The X440 T adds ride-by-wire throttle (enabling Road and Rain riding modes, switchable traction control, and switchable rear ABS), 43mm KYB USD front forks replacing the conventional fork on the standard X440, a completely redesigned XR1200X-inspired rear section with integrated LED tail-light, bar-end mirrors, and 72+ build quality improvements. The T is priced Rs 40,000-44,500 higher than the standard X440.
QDoes the Harley-Davidson X440 T have traction control and riding modes?▾
Yes - the X440 T has two riding modes (Road and Rain) enabled by ride-by-wire throttle, plus switchable traction control and switchable rear ABS. It also includes a Panic Braking Alert system. These are the most comprehensive electronics available in the segment at Rs 2,79,500, outclassing most rivals including the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Hunter 350.
QHow does the X440 T compare to the Triumph Speed 400?▾
The Triumph Speed 400 is priced approximately Rs 40,000 lower than the X440 T at Rs 2,34,000 and offers a more powerful liquid-cooled 398cc engine with 40 bhp vs the X440 T's 27.37 PS. The X440 T counters with a more comprehensive electronics package, stronger brand appeal from the Harley-Davidson badge, and the Hero service network advantage. The Speed 400 wins on performance per rupee; the X440 T wins on brand identity and features.
QWhat is the service cost and interval for the X440 T?▾
The X440 T follows standard Hero-Harley service intervals: oil change every 5,000-6,000 km, with a full service recommended every 10,000 km. Routine service cost at an authorised Hero-Harley outlet runs approximately Rs 2,500-4,000 including engine oil and filter. The Hero MotoCorp service network gives the X440 T far better workshop accessibility than older Harley-Davidson imports.
QIs the Harley-Davidson X440 T good for beginners?▾
The X440 T is well-suited to riders moving up from 150-200cc commuters. The 27.37 PS single-cylinder engine is manageable without being timid, the Rain mode and traction control add a meaningful safety net for less experienced riders, and the 192 kg kerb weight is heavier than a KTM 390 Duke but lighter than a Royal Enfield Meteor 350. The wide handlebar and relaxed ergonomics make city traffic comfortable from the start.
