In fact, Hero MotoCorp has also been teasing several videos with these letters on its social media channels, with the sound of the bike starting up. The engine does sound very similar to the Harley-Davidson X440 and the new bike is very likely a product based on the same platform, but with a different design language. From these clues, it seems to be obvious that the new motorcycle could very well carry the Mavrick 440 name, more specifically Hero Mavrick 440.
