Harley-Davidson unveils Sprint 440 cruiser built with Hero MotoCorp

Harley-Davidson has officially unveiled the Sprint 440, a new entry-level cruiser built in partnership with Hero MotoCorp. The company said the details come from its own announcement. Sales in international markets are set to begin in 2027, and US deliveries are due to start in spring that year.

The bike uses a 440cc air and oil-cooled single-cylinder engine. Its peak output arrives at 6,000 rpm, where it makes 27 hp, while 38 Nm of torque comes in at 4,000 rpm, and it is paired with a six-speed gearbox. The fuel tank holds 9 litres, and the company claims fuel economy of up to 34 kmpl.

The Sprint 440 is light and low for its class. It weighs 187 kg ready to ride and has a seat height of 671 mm. Its 43 mm inverted front forks offer 130 mm of travel, while twin rear shock absorbers give the rear wheel 76 mm of travel. ABS comes as standard.

Design and finish

The styling keeps the brand's cruiser look despite the smaller frame. It has a suspended round headlamp, a sculpted fuel tank, a bobbed rear fender and a fastback saddle. The 10-spoke cast aluminium wheels have machined details. The bike comes in three colours: Dark Billiard Gray, Vivid Black and Teal Thunder, with an orange tank graphic across the range.

Context and what it means for India

The bike is being made with Hero MotoCorp, the Indian two-wheeler maker, and the partnership has shaped its engine and platform. A commentary piece said the company expects an India launch in the coming months, although no price or date has been announced. Buyers in India will want to watch for pricing, which has not yet been confirmed.

The bike is due to make its public debut at EICMA 2026, the motorcycle show in Milan. Pricing for international markets has not been disclosed, and the company has not said how many units it plans to build.
