Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler will have some distinctive hardware to support effortless riding across off-road tracks
For a roadster, it is a natural progression to spawn into multiple body styles. Hero appears to be following a similar approach for Mavrick 440, as a trademark for a new scrambler version has been filed. In the future, there could be a cafe racer or an ADV variant as well based on the same platform.
As compared to the roadster, Mavrick 440 Scrambler will have capabilities to tackle more challenging riding environments. It will be a versatile machine, suited for urban streets as well as off-road tracks. To unlock such possibilities, Mavrick 440 Scrambler will be getting some functional upgrades.

For example, the bike is expected to get a wider handlebar. It will allow improved control and leverage, something that will be useful across off-road tracks. A wider handlebar will also enable improved weight distribution, enhanced steering control and increased comfort. Having a wider handlebar can also improve the bike’s visual appeal.
Another key change possible with Mavrick 440 Scrambler is a flatter, narrower seat. It will allow the rider to easily shift their position to suit their riding environment. The bike could get more robust footpegs to support the weight when riding the bike standing up. The positioning of the footpegs could also be altered to achieve a more committed riding stance. For a more rugged look and feel, Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler could get fork gaiters.
Wheel size could be 19-inch front and 17-inch rear for the scrambler. In comparison, the roadster version has 17-inch wheels at both ends. Tyre profile could also be different for the scrambler. It could get dual-purpose or all-terrain tyres. The standard Mavrick 440 has 110/70 front and 150/60 rear tyres.
