Hero Mavrick 440 Price in Davanagere

1. City rides: The bike is good for city rides with its great pickup at less torque. Gear shifting is also smooth. Handling is good. Mileage is around 20-30 km since I have to constantly change speeds and shift gears in Bangalore traffic
2. Highway rides: The bike is incredibly smooth for rides up to 100kmph speed. Post that, you'll feel vibrations until 125kmph in the handlebar. But post that, the bike struggles to accelerate. The seat is suited for short travels and could have been better, when you travel more than 1 hour, you'll start feeling flat effects. Mileage is around 30-40 km
3. Braking: The foot brake is too low and hits the surface on steep speedbreakers. The front brake could've been better.
4. Engine: On highways, you'll feel great with the engine. But in city roads with huge traffic, the engine heats up too much and since it's air cooled engine, there is no way to cool it other than riding it above 40 on a free road for some time.
5. Horn: When you ride in too much traffic and the engine heats up a lot, the horn stops working until the engine is back to a decent temperature.
6. Accessories: Many accessories for the bike are not yet on the market. Hence you've to go with private customized Accessories if ever you want any (such as a luggage carrier, or crash guard)

About the Reviewer

Riding is comfortable for both the rider and Pelion. I rode it every day to the office in Bangalore traffic it gets a bit hot but it’s rideable. Performance is good it always has some torque to pull in traffic. I get around 22-26kmpl mileage I check with other riders and they are getting similar if you ride in Bangalore traffic. On highways, you can pull 30-32.
I have not yet had the servicing done but a few people who I know told me it costs around 2700-3500 for the first service.

About the Reviewer

I am yet to experience the service side of things for the bike but the performance seems to be top notch and thus a bike with value built for Indian roads. I will update the review as time goes by. My current observations are as follows:
Pros:
+ Good engine performance.
+ A head turner for the ear-pleasing thuds.
+ Decent turn radius for city rides.
-- Yet to test the grip and braking performance.
Cons:
- Should there be any cons at all? Okay. Here to go. The aesthetics may not be pleasing to everyone. I personally love them though.
