Hero Mavrick 440: Looks
Hero MotoCorp will be making several changes in terms of the looks of the Mavrick so that it has a different presence than its American counterpart. The teasers are already out and they reveal that the headlamp will have a ‘H’ element. Where the X440 is a retro motorcycle, it is expected that Mavrick will have a more modern design language. It seems like the new motorcycle could be a roadster. However, nothing is confirmed as of now.

Hero Mavrick 440: Underpinnings
Hero Mavrick will cost less than the Harley-Davidson X440. To do this, Hero will have to cut corners in a few places. The spy shots have revealed that Hero will use telescopic forks in the front whereas the X440 uses up-side down forks. However, at the rear, there are still twin shock absorbers. The wheel sizes seem to be different than the X440. They could measure 18 or 17 inches in size. The alloy wheels will also have a different design than the X440. Braking duties will still be done by disc brakes at both ends and there will be dual-channel ABS on offer.
