Harley-Davidson X440 T: A Modern Legacy Forged for the Road - Turbo Bharat

The Spirit of Evolution

In a world where conformity often dictates design, the Harley-Davidson X440 T emerges as a bold declaration of individuality. Crafted for riders who refuse to accept the status quo, this motorcycle isn’t just a machine—it’s a declaration of intent on two wheels. With a stance that commands attention and style that challenges convention, the X440 T embodies the modern esprit of Harley-Davidson’s heritage, engineered to deliver supreme confidence in every ride.

Design That Defies Convention

The X440 T presents a striking visual narrative. A redesigned rear subframe and all-new tail section lend the bike a sportier, more purposeful profile, while repositioning grab rails to enhance pillion ergonomics. Bar-end mirrors introduce a sleek, custom-inspired aesthetic, sharpening the motorcycle’s presence with a garage-built flair that marries modern elegance with classic attitude. The bike carries forward its signature teardrop-shaped fuel tank, round LED headlamp, and single-pod instrument console, complemented by a single-piece seat and side-mounted exhaust. The stretched tail adds balance to the overall design, creating a harmonious blend of aggression and refinement.

Engineering & Performance

At the heart of the X440 T lies a 440cc single-cylinder, air-oil cooled engine, delivering 27 HP at 6000 rpm and 38 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, this powerplant propels the motorcycle with characteristic Harley-Davidson gusto. The ride-by-wire throttle system employs an advanced electronic throttle body and ECU, ensuring an ideal air-fuel mixture for precise, powerful, and efficient combustion. Two riding modes—‘Road’ for optimal performance and ‘Rain’ for maximized traction control—allow riders to tailor the experience to varying conditions, delivering smooth, confident control in all scenarios.

Safety & Technology

Harley-Davidson’s commitment to rider safety is evident in the X440 T’s advanced systems. The switchable Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) prevents wheel lock during straight-line braking, while the switchable Traction Control System (TCS) keeps the rear wheel from spinning out during acceleration, enhancing confidence in unpredictable situations. These systems work in concert to manage traction during acceleration, braking, or slowing down, offering peace of mind on any terrain. A panic braking alert further underscores the bike’s focus on rider assurance.
