Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, has officially entered the United Kingdom market through a partnership with MotoGB, launching its Euro 5+ model lineup led by the Hunk 440. This expansion marks the company’s presence in its 51st international market and strengthens its footprint across Europe.
The UK debut features the advanced Euro 5+ range, with the highly anticipated Hunk 440 designed to meet the increasing demand for high-performance motorcycles in the region. With over 24 years of experience and more than 125 million customers worldwide, Hero MotoCorp’s move into the UK reinforces its status as a global leader in two-wheeler manufacturing.
Sanjay Bhan, Executive Vice President at Hero MotoCorp, shared, “Entering the UK market is a significant milestone in our global growth. Following our recent launches in Italy and Spain, partnering with MotoGB further expands our presence in Europe. The Hunk 440 reflects our deep understanding of UK riders, offering a blend of style, performance, and reliability. We aim to make premium motorcycles accessible to first-time buyers and enthusiasts alike. With operations now in 51 countries, we remain committed to shaping the future of mobility by delivering boundless freedom and adventure to riders worldwide.”
MotoGB, based in Lancashire, will distribute Hero MotoCorp motorcycles across the UK, starting with over 25 official sales and service locations, aiming to increase to more than 35 by 2026. This network will provide comprehensive after-sales support through authorized dealers and technical service centers in major cities, ensuring a seamless customer experience.
Matt Kay, General Manager of MotoGB, said, “We are excited to partner with Hero MotoCorp as they launch in the UK. Both companies prioritize customer satisfaction and reliable service. Starting with the Hunk 440, we look forward to offering riders an exceptional mix of technology and value that will appeal strongly to the UK market.”
Hero MotoCorp enters the UK market embodying the spirit of “You Are Limitless,” celebrating riders who forge their own paths and embrace life’s experiences without limits. This ethos is reflected in their youngest team’s achievement as the fastest to podium at the Dakar Rally in just seven years, a testament to overcoming challenges both on and off the road.
The Hunk 440 captures this spirit with its bold design and powerful performance. Compliant with Euro 5+ and EU standards, it is crafted for the modern rider who balances city commuting with highway speed. Powered by an engine producing 36.0 Nm torque at 4000 rpm and 27 bhp at 6000 rpm, the bike features a high-tensile steel trellis frame for stability and handling. Safety is enhanced by dual-channel ABS with large front and rear disc brakes. Additional premium features include KYB USD Cartridge Forks, a fully digital TFT display with turn-by-turn navigation, LED lighting, and wide radial tyres for a strong road presence.
Priced from £3,499 (plus £200 road charges), the Hunk 440 is available in three dynamic colours: Twilight Blue, Phantom Black, and Titanium Grey. It offers riders a perfect balance of power, style, and practicality – truly freedom on two wheels.
