Hero Achiever 150 (Old Model)
About
The Hero Achiever 150 is powered by a 149.1cc air-cooled engine that produces 13.6 PS at 8000 rpm and 12.8 Nm of torque at 5000 rpm. This engine, though derived from Heros joint venture with Honda, has been optimized for better performance and efficiency. The bike features an automatic headlight on (AHO) for enhanced safety and Heros I3S technology, which shuts off the engine when idle to improve fuel efficiency. The ergonomics are well-designed, with a comfortable riding position and a spacious seat suitable for two people. The bike also includes features like electric start and a refined gearbox, making it a smooth and easy ride. While some users have noted issues with the rear tyre size and suspension, the Achiever 150 remains a reliable and efficient choice for commuters in India.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Hero Achiever 150 is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and efficient commuter bike in India. From my experience, this bike excels in its comfort and ergonomics, making it an ideal option for daily commutes. The upright riding position and the long, wide seat ensure that both the rider and pillion passenger can travel comfortably. The engine, though not new, has been optimized for a more linear power delivery, which makes it smooth and refined. However, some users have noted issues with the back suspension and gear performance, particularly in older models. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Achiever 150s overall package, including its fuel efficiency and safety features like the automatic headlight on (AHO), makes it a compelling option for those looking for a mature and dependable commuter bike.
Price
The pricing of the Hero Achiever 150 in India was competitive when it was launched. The ex-showroom price typically ranged between 60,000 to 70,000, depending on the region and any additional features. On-road prices, including registration, insurance, and other costs, would usually be around 75,000 to 85,000. Given its features and performance, the Achiever 150 offered good value for money, especially considering its fuel efficiency and reliability. However, prices may vary now due to market fluctuations and the availability of newer models.
Latest Updates
Friday, 29 March 2019 11:18 AM
Hero MotoCorp has decided to discontinue the Hero Achiever 150 due to poor sales and the upcoming mandatory ABS norms, which would have increased the bikes cost. The Achiever 150, despite its good performance and attractive styling, failed to make a significant impact in the competitive 150cc premium commuter segment. The bike will no longer be on sale from April 1, 2019.
Saturday, 30 September 2017 05:20 PM
The Hero Achiever 150 received a significant update in 2017, featuring a new design with a taller fuel tank, new body panels, and the inclusion of Heros i3S (Idle-stop-start system) technology. The bike also complied with BS-IV emission norms and included features like Automatic Headlamp On (AHO) and a side-stand indicator. Despite these updates, the bike struggled to gain traction in the market. I think the updates were a step in the right direction, but perhaps not enough to compete with other popular models.
Friday, 30 September 2016 09:32 AM
Hero MotoCorp launched the new Achiever 150 in 2016, priced at Rs 61,800 for the drum brake variant and Rs 62,800 for the disc brake variant. The bike featured a 149.1cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, producing 13.4 bhp of power and 12.5 Nm of torque. It also included new graphics, a large visor, and a flush-type fuel tank lid. The design changes aimed to enhance its appeal in the premium commuter segment. I believe the pricing was competitive, but the market response was lukewarm.
Thursday, 31 December 2015 11:53 AM
The Hero Achiever 150 was reintroduced in 2011 after the separation of Hero Honda, with some graphic variations and new features like black alloy wheels. However, it continued to struggle in the market, leading to its discontinuation in 2015. The bike retained the same 149.1cc engine and complied with BS-III emission norms. Despite its efforts, the Achiever failed to gain significant market share. I think the lack of substantial updates and strong competition were major factors.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 08:38 PM
The Hero Achiever 150 is known for its impressive fuel efficiency, which is a crucial factor for many Indian buyers. It is claimed to offer up to 50 kmpl, making it an economical choice for daily commutes. This mileage is particularly beneficial in urban conditions, helping to keep running costs low. While actual mileage may vary based on riding conditions and maintenance, the Achiever 150s fuel economy is generally praised by users.

Not Satisfied with Mileage
Umesh Yadav | 4 years ago
helpful 2
Its been 2 years, I am riding this motorcycle. The changes I noticed in this bike in these two years is its mileage. I used to get an average of 57 kmpl on heavy traffic and now it dropped down to 47-49 kmpl only. It seems that its engine is rated to deliver good mileage only for 2 year. Positive aspects of the bike are its comfortable seat and pillion. Its looks are average and handling is also good but the main mileage department is bit annoying.
