If you have been waiting for Hero MotoCorp to add some adventure to their premium lineup, your wait might be over soon. The Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler is reportedly coming in second half of 2025 and it’s going to be a interesting option for riders who want that rugged go-anywhere appeal without burning a hole in their pocket.
What’s Special?
Building on the solid foundation of the regular Mavrick 440, the Scrambler variant will take things up a notch with adventure ready styling and features. Think of it as Hero’s answer to riders who love the idea of weekend trail exploration but still need something practical for daily commutes.
The standard Mavrick 440 has already established itself as a potent mid capacity motorcycle, thanks to its 440cc single-cylinder engine making 27.36 PS and 36 Nm. What’s cool about this motor is that 90% of the peak torque arrives at less than 2000 rpm make it completely hassle free in city traffic and responsive enough for the highways.
Design and Styling
Hero hasn’t revealed the images yet but expect the Scrambler to have more rugged adventure ready design compared to its streetfighter sibling. Traditional scrambler elements like high mounted exhaust, knobby tires, spoke wheels and more upright riding position are likely to feature. The muscular fuel tank design from the regular Mavrick should carry over but with added protection and more utilitarian look.
Expected Features and Performance
The Scrambler is likely to inherit the Mavrick 440’s appealing features, keeping what makes it special. This includes dual channel ABS, all-LED lighting, Bluetooth connectivity with smartphone integration and fully digital instrument cluster. The 6-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch should remain the same providing smooth gear transitions whether you are navigating city streets or light off-road trails.Performance wise the same TorqX engine will deliver that low end grunt which is a hallmark of Mavrick series. Real world mileage should be around 28-32 kmpl in mixed conditions which is very good for a motorcycle in this segment.
