Harley-Davidson Sprint 440: the baby Harley makes its grand debut

One cylinder, 27 hp, and a small cruiser look: the Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 aims to pave the way for new riders.

A Harley is inevitably a big twin-cylinder machine that brings a smile at the first twist of the throttle? The new Sprint 440 offers a different entry point. Developed with Hero MotoCorp, this baby Harley will be showcased at the EICMA show in Milan from November 5 to 8, ahead of an announced global launch.

Its argument can be summed up in three numbers: 440 cm³. This is not a record for smallness for the brand, which already offers a X350 of 353 cm³ in certain markets. However, this Sprint aims to introduce the American badge to a wider audience.

The air and oil-cooled single-cylinder engine delivers 27 hp and 38 Nm, with a six-speed gearbox and an assist clutch to prevent rear wheel slip. This setup is designed to prioritize rides and daily commutes rather than show-off muscle. Harley also claims a fuel consumption of 3.1 l/100 km, with a 9-liter tank.

A True Harley Physique

Weighing 189 kg in running order, the baby retains some roundness. Its low seat, rated at 671 mm when loaded, and its narrow profile should nevertheless provide assurance at a standstill. Sculpted tank, shortened fenders, 19-inch front wheel: the little cruiser’s ensemble is complete.

Inverted forks, ABS, LED lighting, TFT display, and a USB-C port add a modern touch. The price remains to be known to measure the promise of accessibility.

On paper, this Sprint is intriguing. We hope it has character and an exhaust that sings sweetly… even if our hearts still beat to the rhythm of a good old V-twin.
