Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler design patented

Hero has recently filed a design patent as well as a name trademark for the bike pictured above, which will be called the Mavrick 440 Scrambler. As is evident, this bike is heavily based on the Mavrick 440, with most of the changes being purely cosmetic.

1. Scrambler is heavily based on standard Mavrick 440
2. Gets new wheels, handlebar brace, tubular grab rail 
3. Hero and H-D both have one bike each on the 440cc platform currently

Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler: how is it different?

The design of the Mavrick 440 Scrambler is similar to the current Mavrick 440 but there are enough differences between the two. Starting at the front, the Mavrick 440 Scrambler uses a gaitered telescopic fork, although it remains to be seen if there’s any more travel available over the base bike. 

Hero has also given it a tiny flyscreen and a handlebar brace, both of which serve more to give the bike a rugged appearance, than improve functionality. The alloy wheels also appear to be new with a ten-spoke design, and it is a possibility that Hero may give the Scrambler a 19-inch front wheel to handle some mild off-roading.

Another addition is the beefy crash guard which extends from the bottom of the fuel tank all the way to the engine’s sump. And we can also see a sump guard, although whether its a metal unit or a plastic one is a mystery as of right now. The final difference is in the new tubular grab handle on the Scrambler. 

The Mavrick 440’s engine is rated for 27hp and 36Nm of torque and we expect the Scrambler to make similar output figures as well although Hero could play around with the mapping and gearing to suit the bike’s intent.   

Pricing for the Mavrick 440 ranges between Rs 1.99 lakh – Rs 2.24 lakh (ex-showroom, India), so expect the Scrambler version to be priced similarly, perhaps with a small increase.
