The 2017 Hero HF Deluxe i3S has started reaching
dealerships. The motorcycle was quietly introduced on the company website in
February 2017.

air-cooled single-cylinder mill coupled to a 4-speed gearbox. The engine is
capable of producing 8.36 PS of maximum power at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm of peak

like at a traffic signal. The 2017 Hero HF Deluxe BSIV gets drum brakes all
around. The fuel tank can store 9.5-litre and the bike tips the scales at 107
kg (wet) for the kick start variant and 110 kg for the self-start model.
