Harley-Davidson X440 Mileage

1. Buying Experience: Let's talk about this first. I purchased this bike from Hero showroom as they were very prompt to fully set up this bike within 2 hours. I went for the test drive and ended up purchasing this bike over Trimuph's scrambler 400 X. This bike was in the second position on my list after Trimuph's scrambler.
2. Riding Experience: I have never ridden a higher CC bike before. I have been riding Discover for almost 10 years now last year I switched to this beautiful machine. When I test rode for the first time I noticed the seat height was much higher and the bike bulky though while riding I didn't feel anything. In the city 3rd gear was sufficient for comfortable riding with pillion no problem whatsoever. When I hit the highway then the bike showed its true potential. I was crushing at around 110 to 115 Kmph without any vibration. The brakes were right on the money. So all in all I ended up purchasing this bike on the same day of the test drive.
3. Looks & Performance: The look of the bike also caught my attention for the very first time. I choose this one over the Triumph Scrambler 400 X because of its dual suspension mechanism. Looks super premium all the buttons, and parts are of very good quality. Performance is top-notch I don't know about others but I am in total love with its lower-end power so smooth and gentle to new riders who are switching from lower CC bikes.
4. Service & Maintenance:
On the first service at Hero service center, I paid around 3000 rupees including an oil filter change and engine oil change. Service persons were really excited after having a look at the bike. The manager of the center tested the bike as well and was quite impressed.
Now about Pros and Cons of this Bike
1. Lower-end torque and power are mind-blowing.
2. Looks so good and bulky.
3. Quality of switches, mirrors, Headlight everything is top notched.
4. Mileage is also decent compared to other bikes in the same segment.
5. Wide pillion seat.
Cons:
1. Hated the side stand. This is the only which I hated about the bike. However, I have changed to some other brand side stand.
2. Horn quality is another thing that also I hated the most. Like seriously spent almost 3.5 lakhs to get a horn of Hero Honda splendor.
3. Switching between gears 1 and 2 is very hard sometimes. However, the service person advised that it would be smoother over time.
4. Sometimes the emergency SOS button doesn't work and takes quite a few attempts to send out emergency notifications to my dad and brother.
So to conclude the review I would really love it if Harley Davidson changed the side stand and installed a good quality sturdy side stand and a good quality horn. If any guy reading this and thinking whether he or she should invest their hard-earned money or not I will suggest just visiting the nearest Harley Davidson showroom or Hero Showroom and giving a test drive for at least 5 to 6 KM. Trust me guys you will not regret. See ya.

About the Reviewer

I have been driving a faithful Discover 100 for the last 15 yrs. I still own that bike and no complaints.
Looking for a new bike, I zeroed on X440 S Variant. The initial experience was not very good and lot of uncertainties on delivery. Finally, I got it around end of Oct'23 and since then its been a champ.
Beautiful control on both highways and city drive. Excellent mileage. I recently had a 300 KM+ ride and it offered me a mileage of around 38 KMPL!! Pick-up is excellent and can do 0-60 in a jiffy.
I really like the looks. It's been a head-turner from day 1. Other curious passersby stop their bikes and ask questions like price mileage and riding experience. Whispers are also very common - people stop looking and whisper "see it's a Harley" while I enjoy.
Pros: Beautiful control, Mileage, Sitting posture, Look.
Cons: HD Connect app doesn't work great with IPhone, lacks original accessories options (the Backrest is an essential accessory that Hero /HD is yet to come up with) and has a little ignition issue during the first start of the day. The ignition gets switched off and has to restart.

Actually, my friend bought this bike I drive for 40 km and I enjoy it a lot. It is more comfortable and has no noise. The bike is on another level. Mileage is also so good if you travel a long ride means this bike is your choice, and we can't believe if you drive at 100 kmph then you know the smoothness of this bike all is well.
