Hero Passion Pro iSmart
The Hero Passion Pro iSmart is likely to borrow its
powertrain from the Hero Splendor iSmart 110. The engine is a BS-IV compliant 110 cc TOD (torque-on-demand)
air-cooled, single-cylinder unit that develops 9.4 PS at 7,500 rpm and 9 Nm of
torque at 5,500 rpm on the Splendor iSmart.
It is paired to a 4-speed gearbox on the Splendor,
which will be carried over to the Passion Pro iSmart too.
The i3S automatically cuts off the engine when the
bike is stationary and restarts the engine once the clutch is depressed. The i3S logo is seen on the Passion Pro, just near the start of the
grab-rail. Also, the rear springs continue to be painted in a red shade.
The current Passion Pro starts at INR 48,075
ex-Showroom, New Delhi, and the Passion Pro iSmart is expected to cost a couple
of thousand rupees more for the added technology and the new engine.
