Hero HF Deluxe All Black Edition

Quick Review by Maxabout Team

The Hero HF Deluxe is the most affordable motorbike currently on the market in India, thanks to its new most affordable variant, which was recently introduced in the country. The Hero HF Deluxe has always been a popular motorcycle in India, selling in large numbers. In fact, it is one of the country's best-selling two-wheelers. This motorcycle was first introduced in India as the Hero Honda CD Deluxe in 2005. After the company split up, Hero MotoCorp introduced it as the Hero HF Deluxe in 2021, and it has grown in popularity over the years.

Hero MotoCorp has consistently improved the Hero HF Deluxe throughout the years, and the new BS6 model outperforms the previous BS4 model. The new Hero HF Deluxe appears more mature than before, and it comes in a variety of appealing colour options. The Hero HF Deluxe is a dependable workhorse with the robust build quality, making it a popular choice in rural areas as well. The HF Deluxe also has excellent fuel efficiency, which is one of the reasons why it is so popular in the Indian market.

The Hero HF Deluxe is an entry-level 100cc commuter motorcycle with no flashy aesthetic elements, yet it accomplishes the job admirably. The HF Deluxe has an old-school design language, but the body panels have beautiful graphics. The motorcycle's front end features an angular headlight cowl with clear-lens turn indicators and Hero's 3D symbol on the visor. The motorcycle's rear-view mirrors are positioned on the handlebars and are completed in a black tone. It also has blacked-out alloy wheels and a metallic rear grab rail. This motorcycle features a halogen tail lamp at the rear, and the company has not employed LEDs at all.

The new Hero HF Deluxe is powered by a BS6-compliant 97.2cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, as well as Hero's XSens programmable electronic fuel injection and advanced sensor technology. At 8000 RPM, this BS6 motor produces 7.91 HP of maximum power and 8.05 Nm of peak torque. The BS6 engine is coupled to a 4-speed Constant Mesh Wet Multi-Plate manual transmission.

The improved new Hero HF Deluxe, like virtually all other Hero MotoCorp motorcycles, is equipped with the company's hallmark i3S or idle stop/start system. The i3S technology improves fuel efficiency, and the HF Deluxe is also quite a fuel efficient. In real-world conditions, the new Hero achieves 65-70 kmpl, which is exceptional for a motorcycle in this class. In a nutshell, the HF Deluxe is a good choice for the majority of people.

The tubular double-cradle frame underpins the new Hero HF Deluxe. The motorcycle's suspension is handled by telescopic forks in the front and two-step adjustable hydraulic dual shock-absorbers in the rear. The HF Deluxe has a nice soft ride and glides effortlessly even in rough areas. This is enhanced further by its large tyres. The motorcycle has large 18-inch tyres that aren't tubeless. The HF Deluxe's tyres have the same dimensions and measure 80/100-18.

A 130mm drum unit at both ends of the motorcycle performs braking responsibilities. As an added safety feature, the HF Deluxe has an IBS or integrated braking system. It provides adequate braking capability, and this IBS automatically engages the front brake when you apply the rear brake. The instrument cluster on the Hero HF Deluxe has analogue dials that display the speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, telltale lights, and so forth.
