Hero has just released a teaser for their upcoming bike, the Mavrick 440, with a focus on the letter "M" and the message "#MeetYouSoon." This strongly hints at the bike's imminent launch. When comparing it to the Harley X440, the Hero Mavrick 440 is expected to feature classic elements like a round headlamp and possibly similar rear-view mirrors, but with a more understated overall design. The bike is likely to have completely unique panelling throughout. While the X440 is marketed as a reimagined roadster, the Hero Mavrick 440 is anticipated to have a design more in line with a traditional roadster bike.
It is expected to come with some exciting features. For instance, it's anticipated to have a circular instrument pod, possibly with a 3.5-inch TFT display, similar to what we've seen in the Harley X440. This display will not only show key information but also offer Bluetooth connectivity and a charging port, allowing users to easily connect their phones and enjoy media on the go. Additionally, there's a possibility of app-based connectivity features being included.
