Harley-Davidson X440T Launch: Price, Features, Design Changes

Harley-Davidson has introduced a new and more stylish version of its popular X440 motorcycle. This new version is the Harley-Davidson X440T. This motorcycle will be launched in the Indian market soon. Let's learn more about it.

Design of the Harley-Davidson X440T

It has been given a sportier and fresher design than before. The company has especially focused on styling. This is a facelift of the X440, introduced to maintain excitement in the market.

The X440T has received several cosmetic updates, giving it a more premium and modern look:

• New Rear Fender
• Single-Piece Seat
• LED Taillight
• New Exhaust Heat Shield
• New Graphics and Colour Options
• Bar-End Mirrors
• The Bike May Lose Weight

With these design updates, the X440T is expected to weigh slightly less than the current X440 (190.5 kg). This could also improve the bike's performance and handling.

Harley-Davidson X440T Frame and Suspension

The underpinnings of the Harley-Davidson X440T remain unchanged. Its frame remains largely the same as the X440, but some tuning updates may have been made to improve handling and stability.

Frame

• The X440T features a trellis frame, which provides improved stability and control during riding.
• Updated suspension tuning provides a more balanced ride quality than the previous model.

Suspension

• Front: USD (Upside Down) fork
• Rear: Gas-charged twin shock absorbers
• These setups provide a comfortable and stable ride for city streets, highway rides, and light touring.

Harley-Davidson X440T Braking and Wheels

The Harley-Davidson X440T's braking system and wheels have also received some changes, improving both the style and riding experience.

Braking System

The Harley-Davidson X440T features a powerful braking setup designed for safety and control:

• Front: 320 mm disc brakes
• Rear: 240 mm disc brakes
• ABS: Dual-channel ABS (standard)

These brakes provide superior stopping power and reliability in both city and highway conditions. Wheels and Tires

The X440T's wheels also add a sporty touch:

New alloy wheel design, making it more premium than the base model.

• Front Tire: 100/90 R18
• Rear Tire: 140/70 R17

Larger tyres and stronger grip rubber provide better traction and stability during high-speed riding.

Improved Ride Quality

• Wider rear tyres provide better road grip
• New alloy wheels enhance styling
• Safe and controlled braking with ABS

Engine Specifications

The X440T features a 440cc, single-cylinder, air- and oil-cooled engine—the same as the Harley-Davidson X440.

• Maximum Power: ≈ 27 bhp @ 6,000 rpm
• Maximum Torque: ≈ 38 Nm @ 4,000 rpm
• Transmission: 6-speed manual gearbox
• Fuel System: Fuel-injection + air-oil cooling.

Riding Performance and Behaviour

• This engine's torque and power deliver a smooth ride at low to medium revs—a good balance for both city traffic and highway driving.
• The 6-speed gearbox ensures smooth gear shifting, and fuel injection provides both fuel efficiency and smooth performance.
• The X440's (and possibly the X440T's) driving ergonomics and the engine's "low-end/mid-range" power make it perfect for everything from daily commuting to long rides.

When will it launch in India?

The Harley-Davidson X440T is expected to launch in India soon. Currently, the Harley-Davidson X440 is priced between ₹2.4 lakh and ₹2.8 lakh (ex-showroom). The X440T is also expected to be priced in the same range.
