This drag race competition between the Hero Mavrick 440 and Harley Davidson X440 is pretty exciting. Note that both these engines bear identical powertrains. Still, there are marginal differences in power and torque figures. Also, the weights of the bikes are also slightly different. But the bike manufacturers have designed these distinctly. That is what sets the two apart. Let us take a look at the performance of these motorcycles in a straight line.

Hero Mavrick 440 vs Harley Davidson X440 Drag Race
This video comes from Solo Traveler on YouTube. The vlogger has the two bikes side-by-side. For the first round, he takes the Harley, while his companion has the Mavrick. On the count of three, the two accelerate hard. Initially, the Mavrick takes the leads and jumps forward. However, after a while, the Harley makes up the ground. In essence, the top end of both the bikes is almost similar. Using the technique of slip-streaming, they were able to overtake each other. But there is no difference between the two fundamentally. Hence, we can’t adjudge anyone to be the winner.
Specs Comparison
The Hero Mavrick employs a robust Trellis Steel frame, boasting a potent Torqx 440-cc 2V SOHC oil-cooled single-cylinder engine that churns out 27 hp and 36 Nm of peak power and torque, with 90% of it accessible from as low as 2,000 RPM. This engine seamlessly integrates with a 6-speed transmission featuring assist and slipper functions alongside a wet multi-plate clutch. Notably, it is compatible with E20 fuel, adding to its versatility. On the other hand, the Harley Davidson X440 has the same engine but generates 38 Nm of torque. That is slightly higher than the Mavrick. Almost all other elements are identical.

Author’s Note
Presently, many YouTubers are embracing the trend of utilizing drag races as a method to compare the performance of various motorcycles. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that relying solely on drag races for performance evaluation might not be the most prudent approach. The concern arises from the potential harm drag races could inflict on motorcycles, as they are not inherently engineered for prolonged high-speed racing in a straight line. Consequently, we strongly discourage individuals from attempting drag races with their motorcycles. In practice, the majority of riders refrain from pushing their bikes to such extreme limits, prioritizing safety and minimizing the likelihood of personal injury or damage to their motorcycles.
