The Engine's top-end and gearbox are derived straight from the Iron 883 while the gearbox has received a rework, the top-end is pretty much an exact replica from the 883 architecture.
@@BrattyBiker As per Hero officials during the launch ride, Hero's engine gearbox chassis started development much before HD joined in the programme. Subhabrat will also confirm that. May be Iron 883 was a benchmark. But no official clarification on that.
Hi, the engine development was done in collaboration with the prototypes being built in India and sent to USA for validation and further inputs by H-D engineers.
I have bought this bike...and feels great... handling, comfort, features...all are good. I have read a few comments in which the viewers are saying that hero launched this bike and forgot... I also completely agree with them...such great bike must be promoted otherwise triumph, RE will eat up the market... BTW great review...and also wanted to tell that I have purchased Acko Insurance for my new mavrick bike
Hello Sanket, how is the bike, some said sale is going down month on month, it will be out of the market, nobody is buying, you will not get spare parts etc. What's your honest views?
@@deepk82 The bike is very good as I mentioned the comment above. I think the coming festive season will compensate the going down sales.. and talking about the spare parts. I think this won't be a issue.
Why hero is not aggresiively promoting these bikes??I havent seen an Ad of this bike or even the karizma in television..Somehow Hero after launching a bike seems like forget to promote that..
🌟 Overall Great Value Offering With Exceptional Quality & Fit-Finish From Hero Motocorp But Frankly Speaking, This Bike Seriously Lacks The Indian Vibe...... Whether It Is Design Or Naming, This Bike Lacks That Desi Machho Appeal Which Generally Associated With This Segment....... I'm Not Surprised If This Bike Goes In Dominar Way😐
The only problem is the price as it directly competes with Triump speed 400 which has almost same price. So people would definitely hesitate to buy hero bike at the price when Triumph is available.
Thanks for the feedback and appreciation. The whole idea of keeping the helmet in the frame is to promote safety and safe riding, something which is very dear and crucial for Acko Drive.

@@ArunNadar-AckoDriveGood point. I meant in the engine cc class rather than the price class. And yes I've subscribed!! Also it's launching next month!? 😉
Every bike indeed has its pros and cons. I purchased a Hero Mavrick 440 just 2 months ago, and unfortunately, I've encountered multiple issues within this short period. In these 2 months, I've had to visit the service center 12 times. So far, the ECU, throttle body, and gear position sensor have all been replaced. Now the horn, hazard & speedometer is not working. The bike is showing new issues every week. I hope this helps anyone planning to buy the Mavrick 440 to make an informed decision.
Hi, sorry to hear the issues that you're facing with the Mavrick, hope Hero has been prompt with fixing your issues. Reliability of the bike was a concern for me as mentioned in the verdict, hoping that Hero fixes these quality issues in the next lot of production.
Hero should just bring back Karizma ZMR , that bulky and beautiful bike. If you put fat types on it, it looks like a super bike. Truly legend 😍😍. New Karizma looks so wierd and small in comparison.
The Hero Karizma clears deserves a bigger engine and proper makeover, especially given the fact that the Bajaj Pulsar is now available with an almost 400 cc engine in the form of the NS400Z.
Why is the fuel tank only 13.5? That provides max 360km. I think bike with an economy of 20-30 should always come with 15lt tank. I ride rtr 160, crusing at 90-95 it provides a mileage of 45, that gives me a range of 500-550km.
Man, I wonder why no one notices that hideous dummy left switch cube on the left. It feels so obnoxiously cheap, like the older cars where they used to give you a bucket load of dummy buttons on the lower trims, to make you feel bad about the features you don't have.
Hahaha we did, the actual reason is that the switch gear is shared with the Harley X440 that gets switch cubes, which is missing on the bike and hence the empty space.
@@ArunNadar-AckoDrive Hahaha, I figured that out, but they should've came out with a better solution for their so called "Flagship Bike". I believe it's the little details like this, which differentiates between a premium and an average product.
An important correction:
It is primarily a Hero engineered product - the chasis, engine and all. HD joined later and worked on designing X440 styling.

Now it's time that Harley Davidson pushes the engine in HD Pan Americana Chasis and give is a dhansu bike.

Well put across.. nicely explained.. Kudos to the presenter and the camera team.. the effort is commendable.. Loved watching this..
Thank you very much for the appreciation, hope you have subscribed :)
Why the helmet is always in the video frame? Is it a promotion? Feels cheeky in an otherwise good (as has been the case) review by Arun.

@@ArunNadar-AckoDrive That's fine, but in turn, it acts as a fly in the ointment of a perfect photo frame with a bike!
@@getrich-h2y thanks for the feedback, we shall discuss this to find a solution :)
For me as a short rider, short seat height is a feature, not a bug
We have to present both the aspects, for a short rider, it's a benefit while a tall rider might find it cramped.
The real competition to this and X440 is the upcoming Guerrilla 450 from RE
Price wise, the Guerrilla 450 will be more expensive, we're riding the new bike next month, hope you have subscribed :)

@@mg1721 Thank you and yes, the engine displacement is similar, but nature is very different for both the motors :)

I agree a larger fuel tank on such bikes is very beneficial during touring.
Even hero forgot about this bike
?? Its recently launch..let the market test it first..
@@suryakantsharma8085 tu karega test
Hero has been marketing the bike a lot and deliveries for the Mavrick actually commenced a few weeks back.
9:03. So 803mm seat height is low for you , that too for heavy motorcycle and considering the average height of people here?
800mm is average for commuters like shine and splendor too.
@@vbanner I think it will be 10-15mm lesser. But biggest difference is seat width of
If they would keep top model somewehere around 2 lakh 20 thousand on road it would sell like hot cakes
That means an ex-showroom price of close to Rs 1.80 lakh, a real tough call!
@@ArunNadar-AckoDrive they used the same engine of Harley if they would have made a 350 cc one I think they could have done it
@@neeraja.v.1497 Yes, they could have, but they wanted something close to a 500 cc engine.

@@anmolkale16 totally agree with you, in fact the switch cubes should have been carried forward.
Rear looks like a 125 cc if not worst😅
White colour looks nice though.
This bike in side look like CBZ first gen with round head light
Price reduction will consider it to be a value purchase
A price cut looks unlikely as it's quite VFM already when compared to its rivals.
For some reason hero is also not hyping the bike. And hence its already forgottn
Hero should have kept the 18inch front
But they also need to sell the xpulse later don't they😆
Ahahahahha :P
Nice review, loved the same
Not selling much. Just a whisker more than the Dominar.
Deliveries just started, let's wait and watch for a few months to really gauge its sales performance.
Ise koi le bhi Raha hai after ns400 launch
I did not like the fit finish of the bike. The brake and gear pedals feel flimsy. Not interested.
The pedals on our test bike was fine, but the crude welds on the cat-con was an eyesore.
Ergonomics not up to the mark
Hi, can you please share what you didn't like?
