Hero MotoCorp will again stir the mid-range bike market with the December 2025 India launch of the Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler. Having first brought the entry-level Mavrick 440 to the market earlier this year, the new Scrambler variant should introduce a new design pull and provocative styling, without compromising on the same strong foundations.
Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of what we currently know about the new Scrambler, how it differs from the existing one, and what to expect in terms of features, prices, and rivals.
What’s New in the Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler?
Though the New Hero Marvick 440 Scrambler will share the same 440cc air/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine (producing 27 bhp and 36 Nm of torque) and 6-speed manual transmission as the regular model, it’s being presented in a completely different guise.
Expected design changes in the scrambler variant:
- Distinctive LED headlamp with a small visor.
- Strengthened fuel tank with side projections.
- New side panels and flat, upright seat.
- Broad handlebar for better off-road handling.
- 17-inch front wheel instead of the stock setup.
- Entirely new color schemes and more extreme finishes.
All these changes target riders who like a more adventure-oriented motorcycle with an upright, scrambler-inspired riding position. Patent images leaked earlier this year initially gave fans a first look at what is in store.
What Features Will Remain the Same?
Mechanically, the Scrambler will retain:
- 440cc engine (27 bhp / 36 Nm)
- Trellis frame design
- Dual-channel ABS
- Telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers
- Full LED lighting system
- TFT instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity
- Type-C charging port
It maintains performance and daily use on par with the base model.
Expected Launch Time & Pricing of Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler
The Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler will be priced slightly higher than the base variant due to its design upgrades and components. Though the base model retails between ₹2.10 – ₹2.20 lakh (ex-showroom) currently, the Scrambler variant should start from around ₹2.25 lakh Ex-Showroom.
The formal launch should be by December 2025, just as the holiday season buying starts.
Competition in the Segment
Upon launch, the Scrambler will be up against:
- Royal Enfield Scram 440 (expected)
- Yezdi Scrambler
- Triumph Scrambler 400 X
- Honda CB350RS
Hero’s aggressive pricing and its wide service network make it a strong contender for those who want the scrambler look without emptying their wallets.
Why does it matter and who should wait for it?
If you have been considering the Hero Mavrick 440 but want something that looks and feels more rugged or urban-adventure-ready, the Scrambler variant could be worth the wait. It’s ideal for:
- Young riders looking for a distinctive style
- City commuters who like a bolder road presence
- Touring enthusiasts who value form with function.
Conclusion
With the Scrambler model of the Hero Mavrick 440 slated to launch in December 2025, Hero MotoCorp is expanding its lifestyle motorcycle offerings.
