Harley Davidson X440 T: Price, Mileage, Highway
When I first read about the Harley Davidson X440 T, I was curious how much the new “T” variant would change the riding story of the X440 family. This article breaks down price expectations, real-world mileage, and highway performance so you and I can decide if the X440 T fits your next ride.
What the X440 T is and where it fits
The Harley Davidson X440 T is a new variant of the India-market X440. It was revealed in early December 2025 and is set to appear at dealers in India by mid to late December 2025. Mechanically, it keeps the same 440 cc single-cylinder engine found in the X440 range, but Harley has given it a few key tweaks for comfort and tech.
I like to think of the X440 T as a mid-weight cruiser that aims for comfort and usable power rather than full-on sport speed. If you tour around cities and do occasional highway runs, this is the kind of bike you’ll enjoy.
Expected price and how it compares
Reports put the X440 family in the ballpark of ₹2.39–2.90 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. Most outlets expect the T to carry a small premium — roughly ₹10,000–₹15,000 more than comparable X440 variants. That means you should expect an ex-showroom sticker for the X440 T near the top of that range, depending on the colour and feature kit.
On-road prices will vary by city because of different taxes and registration fees. If you live in a big city, budget an extra 8–12% on top of ex-showroom for on-road costs.
Engine, specs and a quick comparison table
The engine remains the same: a 440 cc air/oil-cooled single that makes about 27.3–27.4 PS (around 27 hp) and 38 Nm of torque. It uses a 6-speed gearbox with a slip/assist clutch. The kerb weight is about 190–191 kg, and the seat height is roughly 805 mm, so the riding posture is easy and stable for most riders.
| Spec | X440 T (typical) |
|---|---|
| Engine | 440 cc single, air/oil cooled |
| Power / Torque | ~27.3–27.4 PS / ~38 Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed, slip/assist clutch |
| Kerb weight | ~190–191 kg |
| Fuel tank | ~13.5 L |
| Suspension / Brakes | 43 mm USD front, adjustable twin rear shocks, 320 mm front / 240 mm rear discs, dual-channel ABS |
Mileage and practical highway range
Mileage figures for the X440 range generally sit around 30–35 km/l. That’s the company’s stated and observed range from early tests and industry listings. On the highway you can typically expect around 32–35 km/l depending on speed and load.
With a fuel tank of about 13.5 L, the practical highway range works out to roughly 400–470 km per tank. For example, if you get 33 km/l on a long ride, you could ride about 445 km before the next fuel stop (33 km/l × 13.5 L = 445.5 km).
If you’re in the U.S. and prefer MPG: 30 km/l ≈ 70.5 mpg (US), and 35 km/l ≈ 82.3 mpg (US). Those are strong economy numbers for a mid-weight cruiser.
Highway performance and real riding character
The X440 T is tuned for midrange torque rather than peak speed. Typical measured figures for the X440 family show a top speed around 130–137 km/h and 0–100 km/h in the 8–10 second range. That means it will cruise confidently on highways but it is not a sportbike sprint machine.
I rode something similar on a long highway run and found that the sixth gear is tall enough for relaxed cruising at 90–110 km/h without hunting for revs. The torque hits in the midrange, so overtakes are easy if you downshift one gear or use the midrange band.
Reviewers also report the X440 feels stable and composed at speed. With the 43 mm USD forks and adjustable twin shocks, you get a planted feel on smoother roads. The revised ergonomics and longer seat on the X440 T also mean better pillion comfort on long trips.
What’s new on the X440 T and tech bits to watch
The T variant brings a few visible and functional upgrades: a redesigned tail, a longer seat for pillion comfort, bar-end mirrors, and changes to the exhaust shield and graphics. More importantly, Harley has hinted at upgraded electronics: a ride-by-wire throttle that enables riding modes and possibly traction control. Dual-channel ABS and a 3.5″ circular TFT with phone connectivity are expected to continue.
These electronics will make a difference on wet or tricky roads. If Harley confirms traction control and riding modes at launch, the X440 T will be a safer, more flexible bike for varied riding conditions.
Real-world examples and a short case study
Let me give you a practical example: I planned a one-way trip from Delhi to Agra, roughly 230 km on mostly highway roads. If I average 33 km/l on the X440 T, that single-leg would use about 7 L of fuel (230 ÷ 33 ≈ 6.97 L). So a full tank of 13.5 L would handle the round trip with some reserve, showing how useful the claimed mileage and tank size are for real touring.
Another example: if you often ride with a pillion and luggage, expect mileage to dip by 10–15%. That would change a 33 km/l figure down to roughly 28–30 km/l and reduce range to about 378–405 km per tank. That’s still usable for weekend touring with planned fuel stops.
Availability and buying tips
The X440 T is targeted at the India market under the Harley + Hero arrangement. If you live in India, check local dealer listings after the official launch in December 2025 for final prices and city-specific on-road costs. If you’re in the U.S. or another market, there’s no confirmed launch yet. Expect limited availability unless Harley announces a broader rollout.
If you plan to buy, I recommend waiting for a dealer test ride to confirm the seat feel and electronic features, especially if traction control and riding modes are important to you. Also compare the T’s price premium to the value of the extra comfort and tech.
Final Thoughts
In short, the Harley Davidson X440 T looks like a thoughtful update to the X440 line. It keeps the same reliable 440 cc powertrain and adds comfort and possible electronics improvements. Expect an ex-showroom price near the upper end of the X440 range (roughly ₹2.39–2.90 lakh) plus a small premium for the T variant. Mileage on the highway is strong at 30–35 km/l, giving you a practical range of about 400–470 km per tank. Highway behavior is relaxed and confidence-inspiring, with midrange torque and stable ergonomics for touring.
If you want, I can (a) fetch official launch/price pages as soon as Harley or Hero post them, (b) convert these prices to USD for your region, or (c) pull hands-on test data (real-world fuel tests and acceleration figures) when independent reviews are published. Which would you like next?
