You might thing the bike is not very new in market. Now, You guys might ask, “Why I am reviewing this bike now?”. Well, we observed there was a lot of buzz about the X440 because this is the first mid-size bike by Harley Davidson in India. So, we wanted to wait until the hype cooled down and talk to some real owners and deliver a clear-headed review. This review might help you to take informed decision if you are planning for Harley Davidson X440.

Riding Experience:
- After getting the bike, the first thing I noticed that the weight of the bike is well distributed. It doesn’t feel that you are handling a 190kg motor – cycle. This thing gives you a great confidence in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
- Seat comfort is decent. The 2025 model also got a newly stitched design seat.
- The acceleration is linear that is very good if you are a new rider, but if rode sports bike before then you might feel it laggy.
- On bumpy roads & speed breakers the motorcycle did a tremendous job. The front USD folks and rear shockers absorbed most of the jerking very easily. Even the pillion didn’t feel uncomfortable on the bumpy roads.
My take on X440:
After riding the bike, I can definitely say that Harley Davidson X – 440 is very much designed for Indians & Indian roads. According the cruiser bike the X – 440 is pretty good. The rear foot – rest with sari guard is also a plus for all Indians. The most interesting feature I have found in X – 440 is the sensor-based head lamp which will turn on automatically at night. After observing all the combinations, it seems good package considering Harley Davidson is premium brand.
Who can consider X440?
The bike is ideal if you are looking for a cruiser bike which is backed by premium brand then you can go for X – 440. Even if you are a family-man you can also consider X – 440 because elderly persons in your family like your aged parents can sit as pillion very comfortably. Specially the foot-rest with sari guard give little more comfort the regular foot-pegs.
