-Gets a TFT screen
-Telescopic forks replaced with USDs
-Comes in a new colour option
Hero MotoCorp has unveiled the updated model of its biggest motorcycle, the Mavrick 440 at the ongoing EICMA show in Milan. The official India launch and price announcement should take place soon.
The motorcycle has received a new colour option along with golden upside-down forks which add to the visual mass of the bike. Moreover, the bland-looking LCD console has been replaced by a TFT screen seemingly borrowed from the Harley-Davidson X440. Interestingly, the kerb weight of the bike has gone down from 191kg to 189kg.
The rest of the technical specifications of the bike remain unchanged. It continues to be powered by a 440cc, air/oil-cooled engine that produces 27bhp and 36Nm. This unit comes mated to a six-speed gearbox along with an assist and slipper clutch.
The Mavrick 440 is underpinned by a trellis frame and rides on 17-inch alloy wheels while the entry-level trim gets spoke wheels. The seat height of the bike is quite accessible at 803mm while the ground clearance, at 175mm, makes it suitable for Indian road conditions.
