Punchy from the word go | 440cc air-cooled engine can sustain cruising speeds of 110-120kmph

The soft seat though, could be irritating on those long touring days

Very tractable as well | Low speeds & high gears, no problem!

Handling is sporty and engaging | Tips from one corner to the other very well for a retro roadster | MRF hyke tyres are quite grippy as well

Suspension complements the handling | The X440 feels nice and planted, inspiring a lot of confidence

Adding to that are the comfortable ergonomics | Nothing feels weird or awkward

Icing on the cake for this impressive bike is the Rs 2.29 lakh (ex-showroom) price

These things said, the Triumph Speed 400 is hot on the X440’s heels with a mouth-watering Rs 2.33 lakh price
