The Hero MotoCorp – Harley Davidson partnership was announced in October 2020. As part of the new strategy called ‘the Rewrire’, Hero would sell and service Harley Motorcycles across the country. Hero will develop a range of motorcycles under the Harley Davidson brand name and sell them in India – the X440 is the first bike out of this partnership.
