Harley-Davidson has released some new photos of its upcoming motorcycle, the X440. The motorcycle, which has been teased by the manufacturer a couple of times now, has been designed and developed in collaboration with Hero MotoCorp and will be the first among a series of two-wheelers to come from this partnership. The X440 will see a launch on July 3.

The new photos show the production-spec X440 on road for the first time and gives the viewer a clearer look. In terms of design, the motorcycle looks fresh and appealing, partly being inspired by Harley's XR1200. It gets a circular-shaped LED headlamp, mirrors, indicators, and instrument pod, which will most likely be fully digital and feature Bluetooth connectivity.

Coming to the cycle parts, the X440 gets an upside-down fork at the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear, which is adjustable for pre-load. It features an 18-inch wheel up front and a 17-inch unit at the rear, shod with MRF tyres. We also expect it to be equipped with dual-channel ABS as standard upon launch.
The motorcycle will feature an all-new 440 cc single-cylinder engine
The power unit on the motorcycle will be a 440 cc single-cylinder unit, which is oil-cooled and employs a chain drive. The engine will likely be mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Harley-Davidson hasn’t revealed any details on power and torque output yet and this information will only be revealed close to the launch.

The motorcycle has largely been viewed as a potential rival to Royal Enfield’s and Honda’s 350 cc line up. Hence, it is expected to be priced between Rs 2.5 lakh and Rs 3 lakh. This makes it the most affordable Harley-Davidson to be sold in India.
