X440 Specifications

The Harley-Davidson X440 is powered by a 440cc single-cylinder, air-oil cooled engine - a configuration that's unusual for Harley (their Indian lineup is otherwise all V-twins), but one that makes sense in this segment and price bracket. The engine produces 27.37 PS at 6,000 rpm and 38 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and an assist-and-slipper clutch.

That torque figure matters more than the peak power number here. 38 Nm at 4,000 rpm means the engine has a broad, tractable midrange that you can lean on in traffic without constant gearchanges. It pulls cleanly from low revs, making city riding relaxed and unhurried. Above 4,500 rpm, vibrations become perceptible through the handlebars and footpegs - this is a single-cylinder reality, and it's worth knowing before you spend time at 100+ kmph.

ARAI mileage is 35 kmpl; real-world figures from owners average around 30-32 kmpl in mixed riding. The 13.5-litre tank (2.7L reserve) gives a highway range of around 400 km per fill - excellent for weekend touring.

Suspension is where the X440 genuinely punches above its weight: 43mm KYB upside-down (USD) forks at the front and gas-filled twin shocks at the rear with 7-step preload adjustment. USD forks at this price point are genuinely uncommon - most rivals run conventional telescopic setups. The result is handling that owner reviews consistently describe as confident and predictable.

Brakes are a 320mm front disc with a 2-piston caliper and a 240mm rear disc with a 1-piston caliper, both with switchable dual-channel ABS. Kerb weight is 190.5 kg - light for a cruiser and easier to manage in city traffic than it looks. Seat height is 805mm, which is tall and a genuine concern for shorter riders.
