Harley Davidson In India

Harley Davidson is among the most premium motorcycle brands across the globe. The lineup of HD bikes has been on the higher end always. Affordability has always been a road blocker for Harley Davidson in India. Considering which HD collaborated with the most successful two-wheeler manufacturer brand in India i.e., Hero.

“We started this partnership with Hero MotoCorp in 2020 and we are launching our first collaboration now with the X440. We want to really successfully launch it in India and get a good chunk of the premium segment with this motorcycle which fits right into the strategy that is launched in 2020-2021, which is selectively expanding into new categories with Harley Davidson”, Jochen Zeitz, chairman and CEO at Harley Davidson said.

The 350cc-500cc motorcycle industry according to estimates is expected to grow 15% in FY24. While the constant efforts from the competitor’s brands and Monopoly of Royal Enfield in the segment have led the brand to collaborate and enter the segment.

With the X440 in the market, it will be a sure competitor of the Royal Enfield and Bajaj-Triumph.
The Hero-Harley X440 will be sold at Hero MotoCorp dealerships along with other Harley dealerships.

“There are hundreds of thousands of customers out there who would want to buy a Harley Davidson, but Harley Davidson so far has been out of their reach, out of their pockets now. It is going to be affordable for them. So, we do expect fairly large numbers to come in for this particular product”, Munjal said in an interview.

Conclusion

Harley Davidson is now available at a very reasonable price with its latest lineup. What are your thoughts about the bike? Will it stand successfully against the leader Royal Enfield and the Bajaj-Triumph Scrambler and Speed 400?
