Harley-Davidson X440 engine, cycle parts

The beating heart of the X440 is an air-/oil-cooled, 440cc, single-cylinder engine that’s rated for 27hp at 6,000rpm and 38Nm of torque at 4,000rpm. Mated to this large thumper is a 6-speed gearbox. Nestling this engine is a steel trellis frame suspended by a 43mm USD fork and twin shock absorber setup. Braking duties are handled by a large 320mm front rotor and dual-channel ABS is standard. 

Seat height is a very reasonable 805mm and the HD X440 tips the scaled at 190.5kg, with its 13.5-litre fuel tank fully brimmed. At 170mm, ground clearance is aplenty and the bike rolls on new MRF Zapper Hyke rubber, sized 100/90-18 (front) and 140/70-17 (rear).
