Hero Honda Achiever (2009)

Wednesday, 25 July 2007 06:28 PM The Achievers market performance was strong, with many buyers appreciating its value for money. It remained a popular choice in the commuter segment due to its balance of performance, comfort, and economy.

Friday, 15 June 2007 08:39 AM Despite its low power output of 13 bhp, the Achiever was praised for its smooth engine and low maintenance costs. However, some users felt the power was insufficient for hill rides or off-road use. I believe this was a trade-off for its urban-focused design.

Sunday, 20 May 2007 05:34 PM Users praised the Achiever for its mileage, with many reporting over 54 kmpl in city conditions and over 58 kmpl on highways. This fuel efficiency was a major selling point for budget-conscious buyers.

Tuesday, 10 April 2007 12:54 AM The Achievers dimensions were 2040 mm in length, 760 mm in width, and 1120 mm in height, making it a compact yet comfortable ride. The bikes weight was 138 kg, which contributed to its easy handling.

Thursday, 15 March 2007 02:31 AM Hero Honda emphasized the Achievers reliability and comfort, making it a preferred choice for daily riders who were not fond of touring. The bike required servicing every 2500 km, which kept maintenance costs low. I think this reliability factor was crucial for its success.

Sunday, 25 February 2007 06:25 AM The Achievers engine was known for its low-end torque, developing maximum torque at 500 RPM less than the Unicorn, which made it more responsive in city traffic. This was a big differentiator and a plus for urban riders.

Saturday, 20 January 2007 10:29 AM In terms of design, the Achiever had a sleek look with snazzy decals on the fuel tank and body panels. It was available in five shades: black, candy blazing red, palace maroon, magnetic blue, and force silver metallic. The styling was more appealing to office-goers rather than college students.

Sunday, 10 December 2006 01:28 AM The Achiever came with a 5-speed manual transmission and featured disc brakes at the front, along with five-spoke alloy wheels. The bike also had a 12.5-liter fuel tank and a ground clearance of 160 mm, making it suitable for urban riding. I think the disc brakes were a nice touch for safety.

Wednesday, 15 November 2006 05:28 AM The Hero Honda Achiever was priced competitively at Rs 62,325 (ex-showroom Mumbai), positioning it against other popular models like the Honda Unicorn and the Pulsar 150. Its ARAI mileage of 58 kmpl was a significant selling point. I believe the pricing was a key factor in its market appeal.

Thursday, 26 October 2006 08:37 AM Hero Honda introduced the Achiever in 2006 as a 150cc commuter motorcycle, targeting office-goers with its comfortable and smooth ride. The bike features a 149cc air-cooled, four-stroke, single cylinder OHC engine producing 13.4 horsepower and 12.8 Nm of torque. I think this made it a solid choice for daily commuting.
