Hero Mavrick 440 Spotted Again With USD Forks And TFT Screen
Hero MotoCorp’s Mavrick 440 has been spotted testing again with two notable hardware changes: gold-finished upside-down front forks and a TFT instrument cluster. Neither feature is currently offered on the Mavrick 440 on sale in India, and Hero has not officially confirmed what this test bike represents. For buyers, that makes this an interesting development, but not yet a reason to delay a purchase automatically.
What has been spotted
The test mule appears to retain the basic shape and stance of the Mavrick 440, while the front suspension and instrument setup are the obvious changes visible from the spy shots.
- Gold-finished USD front forks replace the regular front units
- A TFT screen replaces the current instrument console
- Much of the bodywork remains covered, making styling changes difficult to identify
- The overall stance and proportions appear unchanged
What it could mean for the Mavrick 440
The combination of USD forks and a TFT screen suggests Hero is testing a more substantially equipped version of the Mavrick 440. However, the company has not confirmed whether these parts will make it into a production motorcycle or whether the test mule is evaluating a different variant or future update.
There is also no confirmed change to the Mavrick 440 currently available to Indian buyers. The existing motorcycle remains a 440 cc petrol model with 27 bhp and 36 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Should you wait before buying?
The Mavrick 440 is currently on sale at ₹2.13 lakh to ₹2.40 lakh ex-showroom. Until Hero announces a new version, buyers should make their decision based on the motorcycle that is actually available today rather than equipment seen on a test mule.
If the USD forks and TFT display are important to you, waiting for an official announcement could make sense. If not, there is no confirmed update yet that requires putting off a purchase.
Would you wait for Hero to confirm this updated Mavrick 440, or buy the current version?

TT Score
The Hero Mavrick 440 offers strong value and claimed efficiency for its price, with a large owner-rating sample supporting ownership confidence, but its 191 kg weight limits everyday practicality and the listed safety equipment is too spars
Who it suits
- Value-focused mid-capacity commuter — The ₹2.13 lakh starting ex-showroom price and 30–32 km/L claimed mileage make it a relatively strong proposition for buyers wanting a larger-capacity motorcycle without a premium price.
- High-mileage daily rider — The claimed 30–32 km/L efficiency and 13.5-litre tank favour regular commuting and longer trips between fuel stops.
- Rider comfortable with a heavier motorcy — At 191 kg kerb weight and 803 mm seat height, it suits buyers who are comfortable handling a substantial bike in daily Indian traffic.
- Ownership-confidence buyer — Its 4.6/5 score from 179 owner ratings is a strong result with a meaningful sample size.
Worth knowing
- · The 191 kg kerb weight can make low-speed manoeuvring, parking and congested-city use less convenient than a typical lightweight commuter.
- · Published on-road prices range from ₹2.52 lakh in Delhi to ₹2.74 lakh in Bangalore, so the real purchase cost varies materially by city.
- · The supplied safety specification lists front and rear disc brakes but does not provide ABS information, so safety cannot be credited for equipment that is not
