Our take on this /// Verdict
The Hero Duet LX is a solid choice for those looking for a reliable and practical scooter for daily commuting. With its 110.9cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine, it offers a smooth and refined ride, especially in city conditions. The scooters metal body adds to its stability and durability, making it a great option for both beginners and experienced riders. The integrated braking system is a notable feature, enhancing safety by activating both front and rear brakes simultaneously. However, the ride can get bumpy at higher speeds, and the vibrations on the floorboard become noticeable past 50kmph. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Duet LXs comfort, fuel efficiency, and smart features like the under-seat charging port and external fuel filler make it a compelling option in its segment.
Price
The Hero Duet LX, although discontinued, was previously priced around Rs 47,250 to Rs 48,280 ex-showroom, depending on the region. On-road prices would typically include additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other local taxes, which could push the total to around Rs 55,000 to Rs 60,000. While the scooter is no longer in production, its pricing was competitive with other 110cc scooters in the market. If youre considering purchasing a used model, prices can vary based on the scooters condition, mileage, and location, but you can expect to pay significantly less than the original ex-showroom price.
Latest Updates
Saturday, 04 April 2020 09:19 AM The Hero Duet LX has been officially discontinued in India, marking the end of its production run that began in October 2015. The scooter, known for its all-metal body and innovative features like external fuel filling and a mobile charging port, failed to gain significant traction in the market. I believe this decision was inevitable given the low sales and the need for Hero MotoCorp to focus on more successful models.
Saturday, 04 April 2020 10:34 PM Hero MotoCorp has been speculated to replace the Duet with a new model, possibly the Duet E, which was showcased at the Auto Expo 2016. The Duet E is expected to be a hybrid-electric scooter, offering a range of 65 km and a 0-60 kmph time of just 6.5 seconds. I think this could be a smart move, as the market is increasingly leaning towards more environmentally friendly options.
Sunday, 15 March 2020 10:27 PM The Hero Duet LX was priced at Rs 48,280 for the base variant before its discontinuation. It featured a 110.9 cc air-cooled engine producing 8.31 bhp and 8.3 Nm of torque, along with a variomatic transmission. The scooter also came with tubeless tyres and an Integrated Braking System. I believe the pricing was competitive, but the scooters overall appeal was not enough to sustain sales.
Thursday, 20 February 2020 07:52 PM Users of the Hero Duet LX have generally praised its design and styling, noting its modern and dynamic shape. However, some have complained about vibrations at high speeds and the lack of alloy wheels. The scooters suspension and mileage were often highlighted as positive aspects. I think the design was one of the stronger points of the Duet LX, but it needed more refinement in terms of performance.
Friday, 10 January 2020 10:10 AM The Hero Duet LX competed directly with other 110cc scooters like the Honda Activa and TVS Jupiter. Despite its competitive features such as a large seat, pillion footrest, and under-seat luggage lamp, it did not manage to capture a significant market share. I believe the competition in this segment is fierce, and Hero MotoCorp needs to bring more innovative products to stand out.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 10:55 AM The Hero Duet LX boasts an impressive mileage, with a claimed figure of 63kmpl and real-world mileage ranging from 45 to 65 kmpl, depending on riding conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for those concerned about running costs. The engine is tuned for fuel efficiency, which is evident in its city mileage, making it a practical option for daily commutes.

1. Plastic material for motor cover makes air intake, due to this sand, dust, water goes in and jam the bearing, gears, etc... You must clean thison every service which cost 1500 approximately. 2. While going on wet roads, wet sand splashing on front cover, Headlights and even on driver helmet glass. 3. Nice riding experience on turning.

Best Features: Single lock system

Pros: Big seat, color, light design

Cons: Plastic parts, R&D fully not done

I purchased in December But Unable to drive in the traffic because very hot air is coming and unable to put my leg on ground at traffic signal. I complained about this problem to Hero Motors dealer Sri Venkateshwara motors at Hyderabad. After two days (they kept my vehicle with them) they have given three best suggestions to me for avoiding the heat. They also told that this vehicle design is like that and they can t help in this matter the best suggestions given by them as 1. I HAVE TO STOP THE ENGINE AT TRAFFIC SIGNAL. [BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO TELL HOW I DRIVE WHEN THE TRAFFIC IS MOVING VERY SLOW] 2.INSTED OF PUTTING LEFT LEG ON THE GROUND [AT TRAFFIC SIGNAL] I HAVE PUT RIGHT LEG. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT 3RD SUGGETION IS I HAVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH SHOES NOT WITH CHAPPAL . SO FRIENDS PLEASE DO NOT DEPEND ON TEST DRIVE PLEASE DRIVE AT LEAST FIVE KM SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE THE PERFORMENCE OF THE VEHICLE

Best Features: Looks good, features good

Pros: HERO THE INDIAN CO.

Cons: Unable to Drive in Traffic more than five kms
