Harley-Davidson has unveiled the all-new X440T in India, marking the latest flagship in its 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. Here is our video review for your detailed review.
Harley-Davidson has brought a host of upgrades to the bike; the tail section of the bike has been redesigned, since many riders earlier found it disproportionate. Available now at a price of Rs 2.79 lakh, about 25k more expensive than the base standard version of the bike. The new changes have made the tail section of the vehicle to now sit much more nicely with the rest of the bike. Beyond that, Harley has now removed the SOS button on the console of the bike.

During our review, we found the bike to be refined and the aggressive exhaust note pushed us to ride it faster. 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. For a detailed review, watch our video above.
