The Harley-Davidson X440 2025 is that fresh, entry-level cruiser that’s blending the iconic Harley attitude with modern tech and affordability, making it a perfect gateway for new riders and urban enthusiasts worldwide who want that classic V-twin rumble without the premium price tag. Priced at $3,299 for the base Denim trim (MSRP), it’s an accessible thrill for those seeking a 440cc air/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine, Bluetooth connectivity, and features like a TFT display. Co-developed with Hero MotoCorp, it competes with the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Honda CB350, and Jawa Perak, offering 27 hp, 38 Nm torque, and up to 32 kmpl mileage for effortless city cruising. Launched in July 2023 and refreshed for 2025, it’s available at Harley dealers with festive promotions.
Compact and Contemporary Design
The X440 2025 nails retro-modern cruiser style with a round LED headlamp, sculpted tank, and minimalist body that echoes Harley’s heritage. It’s a lightweight roadster at 80.7 inches long (2,050 mm), 29 inches wide (737 mm), and 44.1 inches high (1,120 mm), with a 57.1-inch wheelbase (1,450 mm) for agile handling. Weighing 421 lbs (191 kg), it boasts 6.3 inches of ground clearance (160 mm) and tubeless tires on 17-inch alloy wheels (90/90 front, 120/80 rear). Available in seven colors like Vivid Black, Denim, and Metallic Silver, with a solo seat at 31.1 inches (790 mm) height—under-seat storage fits a small toolkit, and the 3.57-gallon tank (13.5 liters) is ready for daily dashes, radiating urban cool with premium touches like diamond-cut alloys on top trims.
Clear Display
The 3.5-inch round TFT display is sharp, showing speed, revs, fuel, gear, and range in a customizable layout with Bluetooth connectivity via the Harley-Davidson app for turn-by-turn navigation, music control, call alerts, and battery status. Handlebar switches are intuitive for lights and indicators, with a USB Type-C port for charging—it’s rider-focused without clutter, perfect for tracking rides during city sprints, though base trims have a simpler analog gauge.
Punchy Performance
Powered by a 440cc air/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine (27 hp at 7,500 rpm, 28 lb-ft/38 Nm at 4,000 rpm), it mates with a 6-speed manual and chain drive with slipper clutch for smooth shifts. It’s tuned for low-end torque, claiming 32 kmpl—real-world 28-30 kmpl in mixed riding, with a top speed of 110 mph (177 km/h) and 0-60 mph in about 6 seconds. The 3.57-gallon tank stretches 100-110 miles (160-177 km), and telescopic front forks with twin rear shocks deliver a balanced ride—peppy for urban overtakes but composed on highways, ideal for beginners with idle start-stop for efficiency.
Advanced Safety System
Dual-channel ABS on the 320 mm front disc and 240 mm rear disc ensures confident stops—no traction control to keep costs down, but the steel trellis frame adds stability. LED taillight boosts visibility, and the side-stand engine cut-off provides basics—handles wet roads or swerves well, making it forgiving for new riders.
Long-Lasting Fuel System
The 3.57-gallon tank covers 100-110 miles for 1-2 days of commuting, refills under 2 minutes. Economy at $0.08-0.10 per mile, low vibes for quiet rides—air/oil cooling keeps it reliable without fatigue.
Connectivity and Features
LED headlamp lights the way, with app integration for nav, music, and calls—the top trim adds USB-C charging. The slipper clutch smooths downshifts, with a comfortable seat for long rides—no full audio, but earbuds pair for tunes. Extras like alloy wheels keep it stylish, loaded just enough without fluff.
Pricing and Availability
Priced at $3,299 for Denim to $3,799 for top trim (MSRP), launched for 2025 at Harley dealers with deals up to $500 off. Maintenance $300-500/year, 2-year/unlimited mile warranty. Wait times: 1-2 months.
User Feedback and Drawbacks
Owners dig the affordable Harley vibe, smooth single-cylinder, and app connectivity—the 6.3 inches clearance suits smooth roads, and 32 kmpl keeps costs low. ABS and ergonomics get thumbs up. But power fades on highways over 80 mph, basic pillion space, and no traction control irk—top speed caps at 110 mph.
Comparison with Competitors
In the $3,300 cruiser bracket, the X440 undercuts Meteor 350 on price but trails CB350 in torque. Matches Perak’s style, Harley’s refinement edges for beginners.

Final Thoughts

It’s not a torque monster or feature beast, but that style, mileage, and Harley trust make it a winner. With dealer support, it’s ready to roll.
