The BS6 Hero HF Deluxe kick-start variants
have been launched in India. At a starting price of INR 46,800*, these variants
have made the 100 cc commuter motorcycle more accessible to the masses. There
are two variants of the BS6 Hero HF Deluxe kick-start model - spoke wheel and
alloy wheel. The spoke wheel kick-start variant costs INR 46,800* and is the
most affordable variant of the motorcycle now, whereas the alloy wheel
kick-start variant retails at INR 47,800*.
The BS6 Hero HF Deluxe kick-start spoke
wheel variant and BS6 Hero HF Deluxe kick-start alloy wheel variant are INR
9,875 and INR 8,875 less expensive than the previous most affordable BS6 Hero
HF Deluxe Standard variant that costs INR 56,675*. These differences are quite
significant in the 100 cc commuter segment and should boost up the motorcycle’s
sales figures.
The specifications of the new BS6 Hero HF
Deluxe kick-start variants are the same as that of bike’s other variants. They
use a 97.2 cc single-cylinder engine which comes with Hero MotoCorp’s Xsens
technology with programmed fuel injection that improves the overall fuel
efficiency and performance of the motorcycle. The air-cooled mill has a SOHC
set up. It churns out 8.02 PS of maximum power at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm of peak
torque at 6,000 rpm. The transmission here is a 4-speed unit.
The suspension setup includes a pair of
conventional telescopic forks at the front and 2-step adjustable hydraulic
shock absorbers at the rear. The braking comes from 130 mm drum brakes both at
the front and rear.
