2027 Harley-Davidson Sprint 440: YOU’LL BE AMAZED WHERE 27HP CAN TAKE YOU.
Introducing the 2027 Harley-Davidson Sprint 440…
Originally introduced in 1961, the Sprint welcomed a new generation of riders to Harley-Davidson. 65 years later, the all-new 2027 Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 is built for anything and fun for everyone.
Every ride is a joyRIDE
The Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 is your invitation to RIDE. Weighing 187 kg with an accessible 683 mm seat height, 43-mm inverted front suspension, piggyback rear shocks, and a torquey 440cc single-cylinder motor that gets 3.1 l/100 km, the H-D Sprint 440 has easy handling, modern technology, and the performance to make every ride more exciting.
The new Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 motorcycle is an invitation to experience the freedom and fun of motorcycling – to make every ride a JOYRIDE. The lightweight Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 model combines a narrow profile and low seat height, a spirited single-cylinder engine and modern rider technology that makes every ride more accessible and every mile more fun.
The Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 motorcycle makes its public debut at the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy, November 5-8 and is available through participating Harley-Davidson dealership globally, with launch timing and availability varying by market. The Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 motorcycle is designed and engineered by Harley-Davidson in partnership with Hero MotoCorp, a leading manufacturer of medium-displacement motorcycles.
“The new Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 model is our invitation to ride,” said Artie Starrs, Harley-Davidson President & Chief Executive Officer. “It’s an ideal motorcycle for a variety of riders — the new rider who wants to build skills and confidence, but also a great option for returning riders who want to get back on the road or as an uncomplicated and fun ride for experienced riders. The sensation of riding a motorcycle is like flying without leaving the ground, and the Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 model welcomes everyone to share in this experience.”
The Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 model is a mid-size motorcycle with the distinctive look, sound and feel of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
“The fork rake, suspension height, wheel and tire sizes combine to present a cruiser stance that is pure Harley-Davidson,” said Harley-Davidson Head of Design Bjorn Shuster. “The suspended headlamp, fuel tank shape, bobbed rear fender and fastback saddle are familiar Harley-Davidson design elements. The level of detail is what you’d expect from any Harley-Davidson model. The machined highlights on the engine and cast aluminum wheels, the tapered shape of the muffler, even the Harley logo in the center of the headlamp, all contrast this model’s very accessible price point.”
Color options include Dark Billiard Gray (base), Vivid Black, and Teal Thunder. All colors feature an orange slashing tank graphic with a warped checkered center and Harley-Davidson script. A side cover graphic features the new “Harley Hare” character representing the quickness, agility and fun riders will experience on the Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 motorcycle. Graphics may vary by market.
Sized Right
The Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 model offers a rider position designed to promote comfort, control and confidence. The laden seat height of 26.4 inches (671mm) contributes to a lower center of gravity with the rider aboard and increases the likelihood that the rider can be flat-footed with both feet on the ground at a stop. A narrow profile and tapered seat also help reduce the leg reach to the ground. Available Reach® and Tallboy® accessory seats from Genuine Harley-Davidson® Motor Parts & Accessories can be used to achieve an ideal fit for riders of any stature. Hand controls place switches in logical and easy-to-use locations. The assist function of the clutch reduces required spring pressure, resulting in a lighter lever pull for the rider. A ready-to-ride weight of only 412 pounds (187 kg) further enhances rider confidence and all elements of performance.
Fine Tuned Performance
The Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 model is powered by a single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine displacing 440cc (26.9 cubic inches) designed to minimize weight and complexity and to be easy to own and maintain while delivering fuel economy up to 80 mpg (34km/l / 2.9L/100km) combined city/highway fuel economy. Fuel capacity is 2.4 gallons (9.0 liters). Actual mileage will vary depending on riding habits, vehicle maintenance, road/weather conditions, rider weight, cargo and test methodology, which may vary by market.

2027 Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
The engine has a single overhead camshaft and two valves (one exhaust and one intake). Electronic fuel injection (EFI) delivers reliable starts, smooth throttle response and self-adjusts to maintain performance for changing environmental conditions. A gear-driven counter-balancer quells primary engine vibration at all speeds. The engine has a long piston stroke which delivers the sensation of satisfying, torquey performance at lower RPM for authentic Harley-Davidson character. This dynamic performance at the bottom of the rev range is ideal for easy acceleration from a stop and for navigating urban traffic. The single muffler is designed to issue a stirring, deep-and-rich exhaust tone that further communicates the feeling of confident performance.
A six-speed transmission features overdrive ratios in fifth and sixth gear to enhance fuel economy and lower engine rpm for relaxed cruising at highway speeds. The clutch features assist-and-slip functionality to reduce required lever pressure and to aid in matching available traction during deceleration or aggressive down shifts.
Brakes and suspension components are designed to offer the rider a comfortable ride and confident control. Braking control is provided by a single front and rear disc system. The front brake utilizes a 320mm diameter disc and two-piston caliper, while the rear brake has a 240mm diameter disc and single-piston caliper. Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is standard equipment.
Rear suspension features piggyback coil-over shocks with seven-step mechanical preload adjustment for load and rider preference. Vertical rear wheel travel is 3.0 inches (76 mm). Front suspension features 43mm dual-cartridge inverted forks with 5.1 inches (130mm) of travel.
Lightweight cast aluminum wheels feature a new 10-spoke design. Wheel diameter is 19 inches front and 17 inches rear. Tire size is 100/90-19 front and 150/60ZR17 rear.
Technology Features
The Harley-Davidson Sprint 440 model is equipped with technical features essential to a modern motorcycle. A color TFT Display is presented in a 3.5-inch diameter round instrument housing located above the handlebar, maintaining a classic look. The screen displays a digital speedometer, tachometer, odometer and trip meter plus indicators and warning symbols.
All LED Lighting is designed to deliver style, outstanding lighting performance, and conspicuity to other motorists. A 5-volt USB-C charging port located above the headlamp can be used to charge a personal device.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is standard equipment. ABS is designed to prevent the wheels from locking under braking and helps the rider maintain control when braking in a straight-line, urgent situation.
“The H-D Sprint 440 is fun to ride and gets fantastic fuel mileage from a motor with a big Harley personality.”

Nine-Litre Fuel Tank + Distinct Graphics

440cc Single Motor
The air-/oil-cooled 440cc Single motor has strong low-rpm torque, responsive acceleration, and a deep exhaust note. Whether you’re slicing through city traffic or taking the long way home, you know you’re on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Classic Rumble Exhaust
The traditional tapered muffler shape pays tribute to generations of Harley-Davidson motorcycles while helping deliver the satisfying, deep rumble that gives the H-D Sprint 440 its distinctive voice.
Dual Outboard Shocks
Dual piggyback rear shocks provide a controlled ride as well as a premium look. Seven-step preload adjustment makes it easy to dial in suspension for changing loads, passengers, and road conditions while reinforcing the H-D Sprint 440’s classic cruiser stance.
43-mm Inverted Front Suspension
A 43-mm inverted fork increases rigidity, improves steering precision, and gives the rider more confidence to push while adding a performance-minded touch to the motorcycle’s classic silhouette.
