Harley-Davidson X350T revealed at EICMA, confirmed for India

What Hero MotoCorp showed at EICMA

Hero MotoCorp revealed the Harley-Davidson X350T on its own stand at EICMA 2026 in Milan on November 3. The company's EICMA 2026 page lists the X350T as running "350 cc Air Oil Cooled Engine" tuned for "22 bhp@ 6000" rpm and "30 Nm@ 4000" rpm, built on what Hero calls "the X440T platform" and offering "a 349cc engine for the daily rider." The page also confirms ride by wire, switchable ride modes, a trellis frame, upside down front forks and twin rear shocks, carried over from the X440T.

This is the first time Hero or Harley-Davidson has put an exact power and torque figure on the record for this motorcycle. Until EICMA, every number in circulation was a guess.

How it compares with the spy shots

Rushlane published spy photographs of an undisguised test motorcycle in India on October 29, showing X350T lettering on the fuel tank next to the Harley-Davidson name, a new orange paint scheme and the same mainframe, subframe and twin-shock layout as the X440T. A Business Today photo report on October 31 added upside down forks, disc brakes on both wheels and a TFT display, and estimated the engine would make "around 25 bhp and 35 Nm," figures it labelled speculative. Neither report carried a price or a launch date, because neither had one to carry.

Hero's own figures, now official, come in under those spy shot estimates: 22 bhp and 30 Nm against the guessed 25 bhp and 35 Nm. For comparison, the existing Harley-Davidson X440T makes 27 bhp and 38 Nm, according to Autocar India's report on the EICMA reveal. The X350T is a genuinely smaller-output motorcycle than its 440cc sibling, not just a rebadge with a smaller number on the tank.

Both the spy shots and Hero's reveal point to the same reason for the exercise. Business Today's report noted that government guidance sets GST at 18 percent for motorcycles up to and including 350cc, against 40 percent above that line. Cutting the X440's engine to 349cc moves the X350T into the lower slab.

Price and India launch still unconfirmed

Hero has not announced a price or an India launch date for the X350T. Autocar India's report on the reveal says the motorcycle is expected to sell alongside the existing X440 range through Hero's Premia dealerships, where the X440 S is priced at Rs 2.35 lakh and the X440 T at Rs 2.86 lakh, ex-showroom. A lower GST slab should let the X350T undercut both, but Hero has not put a number on it yet.

For now, this is a confirmed design and a confirmed engine output, not a confirmed price or date. Readers should treat anything beyond what Hero has stated on its own EICMA page as expectation, not fact, until a dealership announcement or a formal India launch event says otherwise.
