Harley-Davidson has recently launched the all-new X440T in India, a new flagship model in the 440 lineup. The motorcycle is available in four colours: vivid black, pearl white, pearl red and pearl blue. The X440 T brings a host of updates that make it a more compelling proposition than the standard X440, especially in terms of styling and features.
Harley-Davidson has brought a host of upgrades to the tail section of the design, which many riders earlier found disproportionate. The new changes have made the tail section of the vehicle to now sit much more nicely with the rest of the bike.
The new X440 T is now equipped with ride-by-wire, switchable traction control and switchable rear ABS. The bike also offers two ride modes: Road and Rain. A segment-first feature of the bike is the all-new panic braking feature, which automatically flashes all the indicators under hard braking to warn the traffic behind.
Specs and features
The Harley Davidson X440T retains the same mechanical setup as its previous siblings. The bike has a 440CC air/oil cooled engine producing 27 bhp and 38 Nm of peak torque paired with a six-speed gearbox. The motorcycle is priced at Rs 2.79 lakh.
