2026 Harley-Davidson Model T is here, and riders are talking about it. This new bike takes what we know from the Harley-Davidson X440 and gives it more technology, style, and power. Although it keeps the classic Harley cruiser look, the Model T adds fresh updates that make it feel modern and capable. It’s designed for riders who want an everyday motorcycle that’s not too big, but still feels special on the road.
Powerful Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the 2026 Harley-Davidson Model T is powered by a 440 cc single-cylinder engine. This engine is air-oil cooled and tuned to give smooth low and mid-range power — ideal for city rides and weekend cruising alike. It produces around 27 bhp and 38 Nm of torque, which is plenty for fun everyday riding without being too strong for new riders. The engine is paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, offering confident and responsive acceleration.
Smart Technology for Today’s Riders
One of the best things about the Model T is how much smart technology it has. Even though it’s not a super expensive bike, Harley has added features that make riding easier and more enjoyable:
- A 3.5-inch TFT digital display that shows speed, fuel, gear position, and more.
- Bluetooth connectivity that lets you see turn-by-turn navigation and manage your music or calls from the dashboard.
- Ride-by-wire throttle that improves how the bike responds to your inputs.
- Two riding modes (Road and Rain) that help you ride with confidence in different conditions.
- Safety features like switchable traction control and rear ABS for better braking response.
These features are often found on more expensive motorcycles, so it’s a big plus that the Model T includes them at its price range.
Mileage and Real-World Use
Another question many riders ask is about fuel mileage. For the Model T, the company claims an estimated mileage of around 35 km per litre under standard testing conditions. In real-world riding, this can vary depending on how you ride, but many owners expect around 30–35 kmpl during normal use.
Price and Final Thoughts
The 2026 Harley-Davidson Model T is meant to be affordable — especially in markets like India. The premium T variant starts at around **₹2,79,500 (ex-showroom)*, which makes it very competitive in its class.
