The Mavrick 440, a result of Hero’s collaboration with Harley Davidson, stands as their most premium offering. It has the largest capacity of any Hero motorcycle and the highest performance figures so far. Sharing its motor with the Harley Davidson X440, we were eager to see how it would perform in our test cycle. Here’s what we discovered.

Autocar India’s fuel efficiency testing
Our fuel efficiency testing routine begins by filling the tank to its brim and ensuring the bike’s tyre pressures match the manufacturer’s recommendations. The bike is then ridden on predetermined city and highway routes, maintaining average speeds that closely mimic real-world conditions. The weight is kept constant by balancing rider weights and ballast to ensure consistent data across different motorcycles and riders. At the end of the run, the fuel tank is refilled to the same point, allowing us to measure the consumption against the trip metre reading.
