The Mavrick 440, a results of Hero’s collaboration with Harley-Davidson, stands as their most premium providing. Sharing its motor with the Harley-Davidson X440, it has the biggest capability amongst Hero bikes and the best efficiency figures to this point. So, we have been desperate to see how it could carry out in our check cycle. Here’s what we found.

As regular, we began by filling the Mavrick 440’s gasoline tank and using it for about 60 km on the freeway, cruising at round 80 kph (the velocity restrict on the freeway stretch the place we conduct these checks) in sixth gear. Once once more, we stuffed the tank to the brim on the finish of our check, throughout which the Mavrick 440 consumed 1.53 litres of gasoline. It additionally achieved a freeway effectivity determine of 39.2 kpl, considerably higher than the Harley X440, which returned 31.81 kpl in our checks.

 

 

The Hero Mavrick 440 is powered by a 440cc single-cylinder engine that delivers a wholesome dose of torque throughout its rev vary. Its broad torque makes it extremely tractable and appropriate for varied eventualities. Our reference  level is the  Harley Davidson X440’s engine, which options completely different tuning, 2Nm extra torque and in addition completely different gearing, because of Hero’s smaller 17-inch wheels. Additionally, the Hero weighs roughly 8kg lower than the Harley. However, the distinction between the Hero and the Harley was bigger than anticipated, prompting us to check the Mavrick twice on the freeway and each yielded comparable outcomes.

Our gasoline effectivity testing routine begins with filling the tank to its most capability and verifying that the bike’s tyre pressures match with the producer’s suggestions. The bike is then ridden alongside designated metropolis and freeway routes, sustaining common speeds that intently replicate real-world situations. The weight is stored fixed by balancing rider weights and ballast to make sure constant information throughout completely different bikes and riders. At the top of the run, the gasoline tank is refilled to the identical level, permitting us to measure the consumption in opposition to the journey metre studying.
