New Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler VariantWith a strategic partnership with Hero MotoCorp, American bike manufacturer, Harley-Davidson, has entered the country’s premium single-cyl 350cc to 450cc segment. This also allowed Hero MotoCorp to carve out a motorcycle under their brand, the Mavrick 440, which seems to be currently discontinued in India.
Hero MotoCorp CEO, Vikram Kasbekar, has now revealed that a new motorcycle developed under its partnership with Harley-Davidson will launch in Q2. As per Mr Kasbekar, one of these 440cc motorcycles will launch ‘very soon’ and more exciting products will come in 2026. Let’s take a closer look at what these could be.
Hero Mavrick 440
New Hero 440cc Bike Launch
As revealed in a recent interview, Hero MotoCorp has spilled the beans, revealing details of current developments and upcoming projects in the pipeline. The most interesting among these upcoming vehicles was a new motorcycle based on the 440 platform shared with American brand Harley-Davidson.
Mr Kasbekar revealed that the company will launch a new 440cc motorcycle ‘very soon’. He did not spill out whether it will be launched under Hero brand or Harley-Davidson brand. Former is the more likely outcome. We say this because Hero’s only 440cc bike, Maverick 440, seems to have been discontinued recently.
New Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler Variant
What could it be?
Analysing the recent test mule sightings, there doesn’t seem to be any new 440cc Hero MotoCorp offerings to be launched ‘very soon’. However, the company has trademarked the Mavrick 440 Scrambler name and has even patented design of this vehicle in India, which may be the motorcycle Mr Kasbekar is mentioning. If this is true, Mavrick 440 Scrambler will feature scrambler-worthy hardware at a slightly higher price tag and will rival Royal Enfield Scram 440.
Because Xpulse 440 test mule sightings have not been reported recently, another possibility could be the re-launch of Mavrick 440, but in a more premium avatar, packing more features and equipment. This variant of Mavrick 440 was showcased at 2024 EICMA and it packed a TFT instrument cluster along with USD telescopic front forks, finished in a lovely Gold shade.
Hero embraced similar strategy with Karizma XMR 210 as the ‘Base’ variant was discontinued, leaving only the better equipped ‘Top’ variant on sale. If this is true, one can expect a slight price hike with Mavrick 440 owing to its more premium equipment. Last recorded prices started from Rs 2 lakh and went till Rs 2.25 lakh (both prices Ex-sh).

Hero Mavrick 440Hero MotoCorp, one of India’s largest 2W manufacturers, is known for its budget commuter motorcycles more than its premium motorcycles. Even the company’s scooters have a better sales proposition than Hero’s premium motorcycles. So, the company is revising its premium motorcycle lineup to establish a streamlined portfolio.
In that regard, Hero MotoCorp recently de-listed or discontinued the base variant of Karizma XMR 210 and now, a similar approach seems to have been taken towards the Mavrick 440. Only, the entire Mavrick 440 motorcycle seems to be discontinued, rather than some variants. Let’s take a closer look.
Hero Mavrick 440
Hero Mavrick 440 Discontinued?
One look at Hero MotoCorp’s official website and you can still see Mavrick 440 listed along with all of its variants. Speaking of, Mavrick 440 was sold in three variants conveniently named Base, Mid and Top. Prices range between Rs 1,99,500 for Base, Rs 2,14,500 for Mid and Rs 2,24,500 for Top (all prices Ex-sh).
However, Hero MotoCorp seems to have discontinued its flagship product, the Mavrick 440. This was Hero’s first proper big displacement motorcycle and was based on the same platform as Harley-Davidson X440. But at an affordable price point with Roadster design and less premium components.
Hero Mavrick 440
While the Ex-sh prices were already attractive, Hero Mavrick 440 garnered attractive discounts on E-Commerce platforms like Flipkart, sweetening the deal further. However, the bike’s overtly simplistic design seems to have worked against it and it didn’t find many takers. Sales were often in double digits, single digits and even 0 from the past three months.
Will it make a comeback?
There are three ways as to how the company might tackle the Mavrick 440’s future. One is to discontinue it completely and make way for boosting sales of Harley-Davidson X440. Second is to bring it back with updated components, which were showcased at 2024 EICMA Show. These include USD telescopic front forks and a TFT colour instrument cluster among others.

Also, there’s a probability of Hero bringing it back in a Scrambler avatar. Design and names of which have already been trademarked in India (Mavrick 440 Scrambler). Either way, Hero Mavrick 440 will remain one of the most underrated motorcycles of India, as we found out during time with it. More
