Hero MotoCorp has announced its plan to develop new motorcycles in collaboration with Harley-Davidson, building upon their existing partnership.

Expanding the 440cc Portfolio

Currently, the 440cc platform underpins two motorcycles: the Harley-Davidson X440 and Hero MotoCorp’s Maverick 440. However, filings suggest that more rugged variants are in development. These upcoming models could feature design enhancements like a braced handlebar, a visor above the LED headlight, and a more muscular fuel tank with extensions.

Additionally, Hero MotoCorp’s trademark of “Mavrick 440 Scrambler” hints at the possibility of a scrambler model debuting soon, further diversifying the offerings on the 440cc platform.
