Hero MotoCorp on Thursday said that it has entered the United Kingdom market through a partnership with MotoGB, marking its 51st international presence. The move strengthens the company’s growing European footprint, following its earlier forays into Italy and Spain.
At the centre of this launch is the Hunk 440, a motorcycle designed for UK riders who want a mix of power, reliability, and style at an accessible price. Priced at £3,499 plus £200 on-road charges, the Hunk 440 will be available in Twilight Blue, Phantom Black, and Titanium Grey. Each motorcycle will come with a two-year warranty.
Built for the A2 performance category, the Hunk 440 aims to offer a balance between city riding comfort and highway acceleration. It delivers 27 bhp at 6,000 rpm and 36.0 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm, supported by a high tensile steel trellis frame for added stability. The bike comes equipped with dual-channel ABS, USD Cartridge Forks by KYB, a full-digital TFT display, and all-LED lighting to enhance safety and style on UK roads.
The company’s partnership with MotoGB, based in Lancashire, will drive distribution and customer outreach across the country. Initially, more than 25 official sales and service outlets will be established, expanding to over 35 locations by 2026. A comprehensive dealer and service network will provide after-sales support and strengthen Hero’s brand experience for customers.
Hero MotoCorp’s entry into the UK marks a significant step in its strategy to become a global player. With a presence now spanning 51 international markets, the company continues to build its identity as a brand that combines advanced technology, performance, and accessibility for riders around the world.
Sanjay Bhan, executive vice president at Hero MotoCorp, said the launch represents a defining step in the company’s international journey. “This reflects our understanding of what UK riders want — performance and reliability with style. We aim to make premium motorcycles accessible to new and experienced riders alike,” he said.
Matt Kay, general manager at MotoGB, said the collaboration brings together two companies committed to customer satisfaction. “Hero and MotoGB share the same goal: to offer riders strong value and a seamless ownership experience,” he said.
