Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Classic

<p>India and the United States are closing in on an interim trade deal that could change how some American cars and motorcycles enter the Indian market. The proposal reportedly centres on cutting import duties on select US-made vehicles and allowing a few large-capacity bikes to come in without duty. This will not be a sudden shift, as the rollout is expected to happen in stages once both countries sign the agreement. The big talking point is the possible drop in duties on large petrol SUVs and other high-capacity machines that usually land here with heavy taxes. It does not open the door for mass-market imports, but it does signal easier access to niche and premium models from the United States.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/india-eu-fta-explained-impact-on-car-prices-imports-and-local-manufacturing-122774/">India-EU FTA Explained: Impact on Car Prices, Imports, and Local Manufacturing</a></p><p>The draft structure points to lower duties on big internal-combustion cars built in the US. Vehicles with engines above 3,000cc are set to see tariffs come down over time. Rates that once crossed the 100 per cent mark may fall closer to 30 per cent through a phased plan. The benefit will likely apply to limited numbers, so it targets premium imports rather than everyday cars on Indian roads.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Indian-Scout-1756105473805.webp" alt="Indian Scout.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>There is also movement on the motorcycle side. Select American bikes in the 800cc to 1,600cc bracket are expected to enter India with zero duty under the interim agreement. This fits into a wider plan that tweaks tariffs without affecting local manufacturing in a big way. The focus stays on segments where local production is low, while domestic car and EV makers continue to get policy support.</p><h2>Tesla and EV Imports</h2><p>Electric cars reportedly are not part of the current duty relief. Import taxes on EVs remain unchanged under the proposed framework, so brands that depend on bringing in electric models will not see immediate gains. The policy direction still leans towards building EVs locally instead of opening the door to large-scale imports.</p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Tesla_02-1755608550760.webp" alt="Tesla_02.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>That leaves Tesla in the same position as before. Its imported models would continue to attract existing duties, which keeps prices high for now. The brand has been pushing for lower import taxes as it looks at India, but this interim deal does not address that request. Any shift for EV imports will likely depend on future policy changes or local manufacturing plans.</p>

India-US Trade Deal to Lower Import Duties on US-Made Cars — Will It Impact Tesla?

India-US trade deal may lower import duties on US cars and bikes. Big petrol SUVs benefit first, while Tesla and EV imports see no duty relief under current plan.

<p>
    Back in 2023, the Hero-Harley collaboration gave us the X440 – a gritty, single-cylinder roadster that made a strong first impression. It was comfortable, grunty, and, most importantly, proved that the partnership had real substance. That said, it was not without flaws.</p>

<p>Fast forward to today, and we have the Harley-Davidson X440 T. With a price tag of Rs 2.79 lakh (ex-showroom), it sits exactly where the old ‘S’ variant used to. So, is it simply a different letter on the tank, or is the X440 T genuinely a better motorcycle?</p>

<h2>X440 T Design &amp; Styling</h2>

<p>I’ll be honest – the original X440 had an awkward rear design. It looked imposing in the rearview mirror, but once it passed you, the tail section felt tacky and underwhelming. The X440 T addresses this decisively. Drawing inspiration from the iconic XR1200, Harley has completely redesigned the tail section, giving the X440 T a much more cohesive and premium presence.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/harley-davidson-x440-t-White-(1)-1765272871093.webp" alt="harley davidson x440 t White (1).jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p>

<p>Up front, the changes are subtle but impactful. You get bar-end mirrors as standard, along with new tank graphics. While Harley claims that the tank dimensions have changed, the difference is largely visual, stemming from the new graphics replacing the old embossed logo. The exhaust also gets a new heat shield and end can, eliminating the slightly ‘afterthought’ appearance of the previous version.</p><p>The X440 T gets new shades like Pearl White and Pearl Red, which offer excellent contrast against the blacked-out components. It now looks like a complete, high-end motorcycle rather than a work-in-progress.</p>







<h2>X440 T Ride-by-Wire, Ride Modes &amp; Power Delivery</h2>

<p>The most significant mechanical update is the introduction of a ride-by-wire throttle. And, it actually makes a substantial difference in terms of refinement. The older X440 felt jerky and gruff during low-speed riding, often catching the rider off guard. The new system considerably smoothens these transitions, making the motorcycle easier to manage.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/harley-davidson-X440-T_-Instrument-Console-Close-Up-1768395308271.webp" alt="harley-davidson X440 T_ Instrument-Console-Close-Up.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p>

<p>The X440 T offers two ride modes – Road (100% power) and Rain (90% power with gentler delivery). Interestingly, Harley has also added switchable rear ABS and traction control. On the other hand, the 440cc single-cylinder engine’s specs haven’t changed, but the way it delivers power has. The mid-range is still the star of the show – between 2,750 and 5,000rpm, the bike feels genuinely lively. It’s punchy and refined, but there is a catch. The low-end grunt is still lacking, and the top-end feels flat. Because the usable power band is decently wide but concentrated in the mid-range, you’ll find yourself working the 6-speed gearbox often to stay in the sweet spot.</p><p>The ride quality, meanwhile, is a tale of two halves. The rear suspension has been excellently retuned, allowing it to remain pliant and comfortable over most surfaces. The front USD forks, however, have been stiffened up for sportier dynamics. On smooth tarmac, they are great. But hit a sharp pothole or a rutted section, and the front end thuds loudly as it bottoms out. While it doesn’t unsettle the bike, it makes it clear that the front-end has little chill when the roads turn ugly.</p>





<h2>X440 T Review Verdict: Is This the Best Version of Harley’s 440 Platform Yet?</h2>

<p>The Harley-Davidson X440 T is undeniably the best execution of this platform. For Rs 2.79 lakh, you get a more premium design, smoother throttle response, and a better electronics package. It bridges the gap between a laid-back cruiser and an engaging roadster with much more success than its predecessor.</p><p>

Harley-Davidson X440 T Launched in India at Rs 2.79 Lakh

Alongside introducing the X440 T, Harley-Davidson has reduced the prices of the Vivid and S variants. Here’s everything you need to know.

<p><strong>- The Harley-Davidson X440 T features bar-end mirrors, four new colours, redesigned tail section.<br>- Mechanically, it is expected to be similar to the standard X440.</strong></p><p>Harley-Davidson, in partnership with Hero MotoCorp, has unveiled the all-new X440 T. As the name suggests, the bike is based&nbsp;on the X440, but there are several key changes that set it apart.&nbsp;From the official rear-three-quarter images, we can see that the X440 T&nbsp;has a more sculpted and assertive design than its sibling.&nbsp;The rear appears compact and sharp, with reduced space between the wheel and fender. Other highlights include bar-end mirrors and four colour options (Red, Black, Blue and White), and fresh graphics.&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Harley-Davidson X440 T: What's More?</strong></h2><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/Harley-Davidson-X440-T--1764647049760.webp" alt="Harley-Davidson X440 T .jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>
      
        
      <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/harley-davidson/">Harley</a> hasn’t released any images of the front,  so it’s difficult to confirm if there are significant changes there, though any updates are expected to be minimal.&nbsp;As for the features, no official details have been shared, but the absence of the large throttle cable found on the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/harley-davidson/x440/">X440</a> suggests that the X440T may have switched to a ride-by-wire system.&nbsp;If this comes out to be true, it could bring new functionalities such as customisable riding modes and optional traction control.&nbsp;</p>
    <p>While specifics are still under wraps, the X440T is likely to retain most&nbsp;of the X440’s mechanical and hardware setup. For reference, the&nbsp;X440 has a 440cc air-oil-cooled engine that produces a maximum power output of 26bhp and a peak torque of 38Nm, and is paired with&nbsp;a six-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/harley-davidson-x440-first-ride-review-is-this-the-perfect-sports-cruiser/">Harley-Davidson X440 First Ride Review: Is this the Perfect Sports Cruiser?</a></p><p>The suspension setup includes 43mm upside-down forks with a dual-cartridge damping system at the front and twin gas-charged shock absorbers&nbsp;at the rear. Braking is handled by disc brakes at both ends, with a sizable 320mm front rotor and dual-channel ABS as standard. The Harley-Davidson X440 comes in three variants: Denim, Vivid, and S. </p>

New Harley-Davidson X440 T Revealed – Know About Specs, Features, and Expected Price

Harley-Davidson, in collaboration with Hero MotoCorp, has unveiled the X440T, based on the X440 but featuring several notable updates.

<p>The Harley-Davidson X440 is currently the only model available from the brand’s joint venture with Hero MotoCorp. While its sibling, the Hero Maverick 440, was recently discontinued due to low sales, the X440 continues to find steady demand in its segment. With its prices fixed between Rs 2.40 lakh and Rs 2.80 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the chosen variant—Denim, Vivid, or S—the motorcycle remains competitive at a time when many manufacturers face pricing pressure. This decision comes as the festive season begins in India, when two-wheeler sales typically experience an uptick.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-400-range-prices-remain-unchanged-as-bajaj-absorbs-gst-hike-121821/">Triumph 400 Range Prices Remain Unchanged as Bajaj Absorbs GST Hike</a></p><p>By maintaining steady prices during this period, Harley-Davidson is aiming to strengthen its influence in the mid-capacity segment and encourage new buyers who might otherwise hesitate due to tax-driven hikes.</p><h2>Harley-Davidson X440: Features and Performance</h2><p>The X440 is a 440cc, air-oil-cooled engine tuned to deliver 26bhp and 38Nm of torque. The motorcycle is paired with a six-speed gearbox and is equipped with a slipper clutch, a feature designed to support a smoother riding experience. These specifications place the X440 in line with the expectations of riders seeking a balance between city use and longer-distance rides.</p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2023/11/Harley-Davidson-X4401.jpg" alt="Harley Davidson X4401" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The model is also strategically important for Harley-Davidson in India, as it represents the entry point into the brand’s portfolio. With the discontinuation of the Hero Maverick 440, the X440 now carries the responsibility of maintaining the momentum of this engine platform, while also giving Indian riders access to the Harley-Davidson name at a relatively accessible price point.</p><p>Harley-Davidson is not the only manufacturer choosing to absorb the tax increase. Triumph and KTM, managed under Bajaj Auto in India, have also opted to retain their existing pricing instead of pushing the additional cost onto buyers. This reflects a wider industry approach to sustaining demand and maintaining customer interest despite challenging regulatory adjustments.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-390cc-duke-rc-adventure-prices-remain-unchanged-post-gst-update-121822/">KTM 390cc Duke, RC, Adventure Prices Remain Unchanged Post-GST Update</a></p><p>For buyers considering new motorcycles in the segment, the Harley-Davidson X440 offers stable pricing, a trusted brand presence, and variant options that cater to different preferences. By not altering its pricing strategy in the face of increased taxation, the company is signalling a focus on long-term market engagement, customer confidence, and competitive positioning in the mid-capacity category.</p>

Harley-Davidson X440 Retains Old Price Post GST 2.0 Update

Harley-Davidson has kept X440 prices unchanged despite GST hike on bikes above 350cc, absorbing costs to sustain festive demand and mid-capacity sales.

<p>The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z and Harley-Davidson X440 may both compete in the under-500cc segment, but they are built with distinctly different philosophies. The NS400Z is Bajaj’s new flagship Pulsar, designed for riders who prefer sharp performance, aggressive design, and sporty features like ride modes and a bi-directional quickshifter.
