Harley-Davidson Unveils Sprint 440 Smallest Bike
The 440cc motorcycle, developed with Hero MotoCorp, is set to reach the American market in spring 2027.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Motorcycles
Harley-Davidson unveiled the Sprint 440, its smallest-displacement motorcycle, at the 2026 EICMA show. The bike was designed and engineered in partnership with Hero MotoCorp, with final assembly for the American market taking place in York, Pennsylvania.
Why it matters
The Sprint 440 gives Harley-Davidson a lower-displacement entry point into its lineup at a time when the brand is expanding its reach beyond its traditional large-displacement cruisers. Its partnership with Hero MotoCorp and domestic final assembly both shape how the bike will be built and sold in the United States.
The Sprint 440 pairs a 440cc four-stroke single-cylinder engine with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection, producing 27 hp at 6,000 rpm and 38 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Pricing and final production specifications have not been disclosed.
