Hero Mavrick 440 2025: Power, Mileage And Launch Date
I’ve been following the Hero Mavrick 440 2025 closely, and if you’re curious like I was, this post pulls together the key facts on power, mileage and launch date. I’ll walk you through the engine specs, real‑world fuel figures, what the launch looked like, and the model’s surprising market story — in plain language and with real numbers.
What the Mavrick 440 is — quick overview
The Hero Mavrick 440 2025 is Hero’s mid‑weight neo‑retro / naked roadster. It shares its basic architecture with the Harley‑Davidson X440 platform but was positioned as Hero’s most premium motorcycle at launch. The bike uses Hero’s TorqX 440 engine — a 440cc, air/oil‑cooled single — tuned for a balance of usable power and everyday rideability.
Hero showcased updated details (like an inverted fork and a TFT display on concept versions) at shows such as EICMA. Delivered models stuck to a practical spec that appealed to riders looking for a relaxed, modern roadster feel rather than a full-on sport bike.
Power and transmission — what the numbers say
Let’s talk performance. The TorqX 440 makes about 27 bhp (≈27.3 PS) and around 36 Nm of torque. That puts the Mavrick in the mid‑weight class: enough shove for highway cruising and overtakes, but not hyper‑aggressive. It uses a 6‑speed gearbox with an assist & slipper clutch — a feature riders appreciate for smoother downshifts and a lighter clutch pull in traffic.
To give you context, a 27 bhp output means the bike feels quicker than many 250–350cc commuters, but it won’t match the top speed or hard acceleration of larger twins. For most daily rides and weekend trips, though, the power map is very usable.
Mileage, tank size and real range — real numbers
Fuel economy is often the top question. Hero’s official/ARAI claim for the Mavrick was in the range of 30–32 kmpl. Owner reports and aggregated site data suggest real‑world averages can be slightly higher, around 31–35 kmpl, depending on how you ride.
With a fuel tank of roughly 13–13.5 litres and a kerb weight close to 187–191 kg, a practical riding range works out to about 400 km on a tank under mixed conditions. That makes it a good option for a long day ride if you’re careful about throttle use and speeds.
| Spec | Figure |
|---|---|
| Engine | 440 cc air/oil-cooled single (TorqX) |
| Power | ~27 bhp (27.3 PS) |
| Torque | 36 Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed, assist & slipper clutch |
| Claimed Mileage | 30–32 kmpl (ARAI) |
| Real‑world Mileage | 31–35 kmpl (owner averages) |
| Fuel Tank | ~13–13.5 L |
| Kerb Weight | ~187–191 kg |
| Range (est.) | ~400 km per tank |
Launch timeline, price and early deliveries
Here’s how the rollout went: Hero unveiled the Mavrick at Hero World in early 2024. Deliveries to customers began in mid‑April 2024, and the first handovers were reported on April 15, 2024. At launch in India, prices started at about Rs. 1.99 lakh (ex‑showroom), with higher variants priced up to roughly Rs. 2.24–2.40 lakh depending on spec and dealer location.
These price points meant the Mavrick sat in a premium bracket. For some buyers, the value compared to the Harley X440 sibling and other rivals was hard to justify — more on that below.
Why sales slowed, pause in dispatches, and the possible comeback
This is where the story gets interesting. By mid‑2025 the Mavrick saw very low sales. Reports in August 2025 said Hero stopped dispatches and many dealers halted bookings. The main reason cited was poor commercial performance: customers preferred other bikes in the segment or the Harley X440 sibling.
Despite that pause, spy shots and video‑shoot footage surfaced in October 2025 showing a prototype with upside‑down (USD) forks, a bronze/copper engine cover and a matte grey finish — cues that match the EICMA 2024 concept updates. That suggests Hero may have been preparing a refreshed Mavrick for relaunch, but as of December 4, 2025, Hero had not issued an official global relaunch or pricing announcement.
If you look at the numbers, the bike’s specs stayed competitive on paper. But sales depend on more than numbers: brand perception, dealer support, and pricing vs rivals matter. In short, a strong spec list didn’t translate into steady retail demand.
Examples and what owners reported
I dug into owner feedback and media reviews to get a real feeling for the bike. Typical owner reports included:
- Commuter + touring balance: Riders noted the bike was comfortable for city miles and capable on highways, especially with the 6‑speed gearbox.
- Fuel economy: Many owners reported averages of 32–34 kmpl on mixed routes. Aggressive riding pulled figures closer to 31 kmpl.
- Weight and handling: At about 190 kg, the Mavrick felt planted but not heavy for its class. Some riders wished for lighter steering at low speeds.
One small case study: a group ride reported by an owners’ forum covered ~350 km in a day with mixed highways and city sections. The rider topped up once after 270 km and finished the day with about 50–60 km of usable fuel left — aligning with the ~400 km tank range estimate if you aim for steady speeds.
Final Thoughts
To sum up, the Hero Mavrick 440 2025 is a well‑spec’d mid‑weight roadster with a friendly powerband, a reliable 6‑speed gearbox, and sensible fuel economy. Official claims of ~30–32 kmpl are supported by many owner reports showing 31–35 kmpl in real use. The bike launched in mid‑April 2024 with prices starting near Rs. 1.99 lakh, but low sales led Hero to pause dispatches in August 2025.
There are promising signs of a refreshed version after spy shots in October 2025, but as of December 4, 2025 Hero hadn’t confirmed a relaunch. If you’re watching this bike as a potential buy, consider test‑riding one (if available), compare total ownership costs against rivals, and watch for an official Hero announcement if you want the updated model.
If you’d like, I can keep an eye on press releases and let you know when Hero confirms a relaunch date and pricing.
