In this post, we are comparing the new Harley Davidson X440 T and Hero Maverick 440 on the basis of design, specs, features, etc. We know that these two motorcycles are mechanically identical. However, there are some distinctions in terms of design and features. Also, due to poor sales, Hero MotoCorp decided to discontinue the production of the Maverick 440.

In the case of the new X440 T, the power remains the same, but the torque increases to 38 Nm. Still, the performance will be almost similar since Hero makes the engine for both motorcycles.

The new Harley Davidson X440 T bears a similar exterior styling to the regular X440 for the most part. Still, the tail section is now more angular with a streamlined cowl. This ensures that the strange gap between the wheel and fender of the X440 is now reduced. Other critical bits include a redesigned seat for better comfort, chunkier grab handles, bar-end mirrors, a black front fender and redesigned exhaust. On the fuel tank, you will see Harley-Davidson X440 T livery and chequered flag-style graphics.
On the other hand, the Hero Maverick 440 used to embody an impressive stance as well. It has a clean, muscular design that gives it a strong road presence without trying too hard. Its upright stance, wide tank, and simple body panels create a classic roadster look that appeals to everyday riders. The round LED headlamp and minimalistic tail section keep the styling modern yet uncluttered. Chunky tyres and a sturdy frame add to its tough appearance, making the bike look ready for both city use and weekend rides. Both of these have their individualities despite sharing the powertrain.
