Sir i cant believe you covered everything like in few hours mad respect to you and very detailed very straight forward no big talks only factual details and nice review and very satisfying one too i think all the doubts are clear now ....❤❤❤ Thank you and and yout team
Liked this video right at 2:59 minutes, where you mentioned the RPM in 6th gear at 100 KMPH cruising speed!!! None or very few reviewers talks about this!!! Thanks!!! This is what really matters, a relaxed engine at speeds of 80-100 on Indian highways!! No reviews are worth watching or reading if the cruising RPM-Speeds at 100 aren't mentioned!!! Who are we racing with these street bikes to talk about 0-60, Valentino Rossi??!! Harley has a winner here!!! Didn't like the CB350 because of its taller 5 ratios which makes it downshift often and the RE's never impressed me!!! This should be the one for me!!! The RPM of 4000 at 100 is on par with that of RE650 twins!!! Worth the buy!!! Hope the service department doesn't let us down!!!
The base variant with spoke wheels looks very good and overall the bike looks good except for the part under rear seat. Don’t think it can be removed cause the rear light seems to be attached to it.
I have seen multiple X440 review videos available on youtube but I must admit Amit has covered almost everything an enthusiast would like to know from a new launch. Pretty balanced review with details of what is good and what could have been better with this bike. Waiting for a detailed real-life road ride experience for this one. Keep up the fabulous work...
When compared with RE Looks good More power More torque Colour display with ample information Bluetooth connectivity 6 gears Inverted front forks Fat tyre Pricing par with RE Definately a RE competitor 😊
This is a very good review - looks like this is going to be game changer In india in this particular segment - pricing is bang on - just hope that the service / maintenance cost is reasonable- bike looks really good 👍🏼👌
@@motoroids Absolutely. Not all of us see the need for petrol guzzling big twins. Remember the early Buel/Harley days? 500cc Buell blast was a fun ride.
I like the front end and spoke and alloy wheels, however I would like to see less fendering at the rear with a low slung wheel huger at the back 😅plus a high flung exhaust
Forget about the looks.. It is bound to be reliable since Hero has a hand on it. And I am tempted to believe that it will sell like hot cakes because of the pricing. When the price is right, any product sells itself..
Yeahh.....I totally agree with you ...the price is very competitive and I think it creates a new opening for the buyer like now they have option over that they got a good names to on the boards so yeahh this gonna sell like a hot cake for sure
Cursorily looking, the Triumph 400 Twins look very well designed; they carry the Triumph essence in them. This Harley doesn't carry that brand's design language. When compared to the front half, the oddly designed rectangular rear section and the "Splendor" like exhaust look out of place on this. Providing USD shocks at this price point is really great move by Hero and Harley but they don't look as meaty when compared to the other bikes, they sort of blend in, even, the fuel tank cover with the exposed neck takes away its appeal, Bigger looking fuel tanks are what we come to expect from a Harley. So far, the pricing is the biggest USP for this one. If Triumph prices its bikes competitively, Harley will face a tough time breaking ground in the market.
The exhaust looks like they had completely forgotten about it throughout the design and development process, and then 30 seconds before the first photoshoot they found some random spare of a random Hero bike and stuck it there
Always be aware of the Mike, where it's placed. And always. ALWAYS check the video after the upload, watch as a viewer from a different so you can make necessary changes
Very much satisfied with review but i can understand your thoughts on negative aspects are projected very lightly as viewers are not much impacted from it. Appreciated. I am thinking to book this little beast but Those spender silencer which looks like factory chimney, those dekstop cables hanging around handle looks ugly and also narrow splender seats, 170 mm ground clearance and not so soft suspension on Indian roads are making me to wait.
Woah- wasn't expecting such an in-depth video so soon. The bike definitely looks good- at least the front half that reeks of Sportster vibes. Unfortunately the rear half seems to be designed by a different (and demotivated) team- the rear fender overhang has Made in China written all over. But looks to be a well finished motorcycle and the price is the icing.
Its Great effort by Hero who brought HD to us at affordable price even before we criticise lets Congratulate! HERO MC 👏🏻 Now as a typical Motorcycle enthusiast I am little disappointed with the 2 valves, 9.5:1 gear ratio & Max torque 4000 RPM 4 valves, 10.5:1 or 11.0:1 and Max torque 5000 RPM would have been better But lets hope for best, this is just the beginning and it gets better and better
11.0:1 compression ratio is never possible with this kind of an engine. It's a long stroke engine which is made for low end torque. Harley's have always used long stroke V-Twins in the past. REs are long stroke. You're talking KTM compression which are short stroke engines usually high revving and power higher up the rev range. 2 valves are enough for this kind of an engine. Also 2 valves will give better torque down low which is the intent of this motorcycle. This produces better numbers than the infamous classic 500 yet being lesser displacement. It's a good motor. Now only time will speak for reliability.
Everyone who is interested in X440 should atleast see it once in the showroom. The videos don't do justice to this bike.. like for example the gap disappears when you sit on the bike, the exhaust note is nice and thumpy, The bike feels substantial it-feels like a big bike, yes the fit and finish is not at par with Triumph but it's not the worst either, and last but not the least the exhaust looks odd in real life too but if you are willing to spend some extra money later you can buy aftermarket exhausts. People who are confused between the speed 400 and x440 should go to the respective showrooms, don't blindly believe in any RUclips review, experience the bikes for yourselves and then make a decision. Don't let your hard earned money go to waste.
Specifications are good. But look is meh ! Although I need to replace my 10 years old motorcycle asap, I will wait for Himalayan 450. Till than it'll be also on road and I'll be able to gauge the servicing prices as well as other minor details. By the way, this review is really nice and balanced. Props to you👐
I love this vodeo y because You COVERED PILLION COMFORT !!! Great work no one talks about pillion. If its a sports bike thats ok, one reason to go for retro is to carry pillion
True said this bike is the end destination. You ride all type of bikes I your life and come down to a strong, reliable, minimalistic tech,simple design and relaxed driving pleasure. That's Harley or a Meteor350 that's it.
Fuel efficiency will be deciding factor were hero is master of producing fuel efficient bikes . Very few will migrate form lower cc bikes to HD400 if it fails on fuel count. RE is good in mileage
Wow my dream to ride wide and raised handlebar on a cruising motorbike Harley would come true now. Less tech is best for a tensionfree minimalistic design classic cruiser.Yes Harley has given a fuel indicator which was missing in most of its line. So over all Harley has improved a lot. And this product is beautiful. In deep love with the design. I will put a wide raised handle bar and a full size mudguard at rear. that's it . Yes a wind shield if you like. And it's done. Relaxed posture is what I love and one more bike in its category is royal Enfield meteor 350.❤ But yes only budget will make people choose between the 2.
Thanks for the video. It's interesting to see what the MoCo is doing with its partner. At the end, you said its a value for what you get. You also had a gripe of it not having much in the way of rider aids lule traction control or ride by wire. Harley Davidson has a hard time making bikes normal folks can afford, at least in America. Due to the fact the 440 doesn't have a suite of electronics that's how it can be a bargain.
The review is very good and detailed. We are able to understand most of the things. Thought of booking RE Classic 350, but i need to wait to have hands on this. Will it be comfortable for the pillion if we change the seats similar to RE Touring passenger seat.
Your reviews are very detailed and awesome. Could you please tell me any components (engine or other parts), engineering in this bike which is originally from Harley Davidson?
the body line of the bike is weird. the rear mudguard is looking offbeat to the remaining body. those who are saying hp is low then for this kind of bike torque is way more important and 38 nm is really nice.
*while I was appalled by how uninspired the design felt when the first photo leaks were out, a video makes it clear that the severely underrated Harley xsr1200 is a primary influence visually.*
My two cents on the review.. The color and finish is compromised which is visible even on the video. It's does feel more like a Hero. I think Triumph and Bajaj Speed 400 and Scrambler will take a lead and outsmart Harleys Strategy
Thanks for an amazing review. Can you please comment on how much heat is generated near the legs compared to the likes of RE 350 or even KTM. Also how does it compare to Honda highness 350. I plan to purchase a bike soon and confused between Honda And this. Thanks once again.
An idea for Harley. What if they do what RE did with the Hunter? Make the X440 lighter & cheaper. Fenders, side covers & gas tank are all metal. That's probably 20-30 pounds.
Hey guys, I want to hear from you. I owned RE Meteor 350 for 10 months. Now I am thinking of owning this one too. So tell me the reasons to go for X440 over my Meteor 350, please.
Sir i cant believe you covered everything like in few hours mad respect to you and very detailed very straight forward no big talks only factual details and nice review and very satisfying one too i think all the doubts are clear now ....❤❤❤ Thank you and and yout team
Thanks for the kind words
What's your opinion in difference between Harley 440 and triumph 400 .. better in daily routine and service factor
It’s quite surprising. Compared to launch video it looks and sounds way better . Very eager to take it for test ride
Liked this video right at 2:59 minutes, where you mentioned the RPM in 6th gear at 100 KMPH cruising speed!!! None or very few reviewers talks about this!!! Thanks!!!

Bhai aapka knowledge toh kamal ka hai :D Suggest me a good video to learn more about RPM thingy better 😅
Tbh I love this bike lot of people are not happy with the rear side but I think it's cool they have given the look of scrambler too.
The base variant with spoke wheels looks very good and overall the bike looks good except for the part under rear seat. Don’t think it can be removed cause the rear light seems to be attached to it.
Mileage?

I appreciate that
When compared with RE
Looks good
More power
More torque
Colour display with ample information
Bluetooth connectivity
6 gears
Inverted front forks
Fat tyre
Pricing par with RE
Definately a RE competitor 😊
This is a very good review - looks like this is going to be game changer In india in this particular segment - pricing is bang on - just hope that the service / maintenance cost is reasonable- bike looks really good 👍🏼👌
Cruise the segment🔥
Was waiting for review from motoroids , as always covered everything what i was looking for
I did not expect review to come out this quick! Thanks Motoroids❤
Trust me, it is way better than the launch video!
Hero should pay for you!
Glad you liked it!
Very comprehensive review, kudos. I'd love to see this motor plonked in the next xpulse.
As a female adv rider, i wanted to convert my sportster to a scrambler, but this would be ideal. I CANT BELIEVE IT WONT BE SOLD IN THE USA
Would Americans fancy a puny single cyl Harley?

Looks much better in day light than in launch event 😅
Exactly what I wanted to say💙
@@parthapratimsarkar4680 rear looks odd . If we cut off rear seat and cut short the rear spring and make it low ride. Definitely hot rod.
@@kiranm2192 yeah that would be 🔥

yellow one looks awesome
Looks growing on me, not bad at all.
Excellent presentation Amit,
every detail of the bike was spoken and shown,
May be time to go for it.
Thanks
Very informative videos u covered all the specifications of the bike , awesome review btw.I really want to buy this harley soon❤️
Glad you liked it
Finally! someone mentions the cables. It would have made a big difference if they could have routed the cables along the handles instead of over them.
Its Great effort by Hero who brought HD to us at affordable price even before we criticise lets Congratulate! HERO MC 👏🏻

Competition is always fruitful. Very nice motorcycle with good sound.
The real review I was looking for & needed ❤
I love this vodeo y because You COVERED PILLION COMFORT !!! Great work no one talks about pillion. If its a sports bike thats ok, one reason to go for retro is to carry pillion
The color which you are riding is superb
This fellow tells everything very clearly 👏👏👏
True said this bike is the end destination. You ride all type of bikes I your life and come down to a strong, reliable, minimalistic tech,simple design and relaxed driving pleasure. That's Harley or a Meteor350 that's it.
Top speed with the wind and against the wind...so detailed....after your reveiws no data related queries are left
Fuel efficiency will be deciding factor were hero is master of producing fuel efficient bikes . Very few will migrate form lower cc bikes to HD400 if it fails on fuel count. RE is good in mileage
How is the handling and dynamics as compared to RE Hunter 350 ? Appreciate your insights
As always covered everything, good review
The old cast iron engime bullet stil sounds the best

Review is way better than other youtubers, very detailed. Excellent 👍
I wonder if the larger Harleys will continue to be sold in India alongside this one.
I had heard Harley has stopped production of its bikes in India.
Thanks for the video. It's interesting to see what the MoCo is doing with its partner. At the end, you said its a value for what you get.

Fantastic review and you touched all the right points. ✅️
Such a best quality vedio . Good bro keep it up
Thank you so much 😀
The review is very good and detailed. We are able to understand most of the things. Thought of booking RE Classic 350, but i need to wait to have hands on this. Will it be comfortable for the pillion if we change the seats similar to RE Touring passenger seat.
I really like the matt yellow color of Base variant.
Nice comprehensive and short introductory review. Kudos!
Glad you liked it!
Your reviews are very detailed and awesome. Could you please tell me any components (engine or other parts), engineering in this bike which is originally from Harley Davidson?
Thanks. It's all new
Its looks so nice
How is the engine heating? I think the mid variant is the most VFM. 20k price difference doesn't justify the top variant.
Can we service this bike in any hero service centre or not? That is the main question. If no then they making the same mistake like honda big wing.
my thoughts exactly...
Outstanding review. Excellent presentation, without any unnecessary bells and whistles.
Awesome & honest review ❤
Thank you 😊
Nobody did best review,
YOU R THE BEST !!!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks

I'm hoping to see this bike in the USA some day.
Good review! Waiting for it's on road testing.
Nice to see Amit After a long time
Cheers
auto headlight!!! first in the segment I guess.Woow I love this bike.
Don't forget, dom400 is still in market
Ngl the more I look at it. The more I'm liking it.
In HD X440, as the rear suspension is adjustable in 7steps. Can the seat hieght be reduced from 805mm to some 10 to 15mm less?
*while I was appalled by how uninspired the design felt when the first photo leaks were out, a video makes it clear that the severely underrated Harley xsr1200 is a primary influence visually.*
Please tell us about the service part. Where one could buy it and where it will be get service
hope this motorcycle will be available here in the Philippines!
Booked Today . Iam the 1 st one from kerala
Finally this video got the views.....Hope future videos get too🤞🤞🤞
Metalic red looks good
finally some proper new HD ,))
Great review 😍👍
sounding like splendor
Awesome review ❤
NEED WHEEL FRAME FOR LICENSE PLATE, LIGHTS SO YOU CAN ADD REAR RAILS FOR A TOP BOX.
Great review as always 🚀
I like this bike & need
do we have a dedicated harley davidson showroom for test ride or is available someplace else?
Today I booked this bike❤
My two cents on the review.. The color and finish is compromised which is visible even on the video. It's does feel more like a Hero. I think Triumph and Bajaj Speed 400 and Scrambler will take a lead and outsmart Harleys Strategy
Best reviewer!!❤
Wow, thanks!
@@motoroids really bro, you give genuine review!
Is there any slipper clutch and also Center stand, as its shown in images many times.
Thanks for an amazing review. Can you please comment on how much heat is generated near the legs compared to the likes of RE 350 or even KTM. Also how does it compare to Honda highness 350. I plan to purchase a bike soon and confused between Honda And this. Thanks once again.
Amazing Review, candid review at heart of manufacturer is commendable.👍🏻
How about Clutch. Is it hard ?
No it's not
Only this that I wish this bike had is a golden front upside down fork
I think to compete with this Honda will bring new Activa 100G
Review is excellent
Nice Review for X440. I have few queries that i was planning to book RE Super Meteor 650 but now i am confused with whom to go. kindly clarify.
Hero best dealing with harley 🔥🔥
If ever owned one, tank,seat and rear fender are the major changes i would make
And yeah the exhaust of course 😅
Tell us directly that you have Ktm duke
bhai aap hi daal sakte ho sabse pehle first look sabse pehle ride review great
🙏
Bro.. When will be the RE HIMALAYAN 450 be launched..??
September 23.
I always search for your review for bikes
🙏
An idea for Harley. What if they do what RE did with the Hunter? Make the X440 lighter & cheaper. Fenders, side covers & gas tank are all metal. That's probably 20-30 pounds.
There's the hero Maverick 440 for that
Hey guys, I want to hear from you. I owned RE Meteor 350 for 10 months. Now I am thinking of owning this one too. So tell me the reasons to go for X440 over my Meteor 350, please.
bang on, first review....
