Am confused between Hero Glamour and Super Splendor?
02 January 2023 06:35
Your current bike seems to have some manufacturing defect in case of its clutch plates as Hero bikes are known for their reliable working and long life. The other case where 100 cc bikes fail at slopes is true to every engine of that segment. Either you have to pull it at some speed from a far distance or you have to put it in the first gear to do so. You should consider some more powerful engine in that case and Hero's 125cc bikes are not that powerful as others in the segment. The 124.7 cc engine on Glamour and Super Splendor produces just 9 BHP and 10.35 NM of torque.
On the other hand, the best seller of the 125cc category, Honda CB Shine comes with 10.12 BHP and 10.54 NM of torque. It is even 7 kg lighter than the Glamour and gets an option of CBS for better braking. It starts with a price tag of INR 55,559.
The third and the best option is TVS Phoenix 125. It comes with a more powerful 124.53 cc engine producing 10.8 BHP and 10.8 NM of torque. The bike even weighs 9 kg less than the Hero Glamour. It also has an option of disc brake and comes with segment first features like digital instrument console and vehicle locator. It starts at a price tag of INR 52,910 and comes with the best available power, torque ratios. It would return a mileage of around 55 kmpl and comes with the best price among all the others.
You can once test ride all of them and choose the best one for yourself. You can even get your old bike exchanged for a new one. I even suggest you to report the same inconvenience in an email to the Hero customer care.

02 January 2023 06:35
Hero would be most probably the first brand to introduce a full sized scooter in India in the next year. No such exact date has been announced by the company but it is expected to launch the ZIR 150 in the first half of 2016. The scooter gets a 157.1 cc, liquid cooled engine producing 14.1 Bhp @ 8500 rpm and 12.7 Nm @ 7000 rpm.

Is Hero launching new Karizma in 2016?
02 January 2023 06:35
Hero Motocorp currently has no plans of changing or updating its Karizma R and ZMR model. The chances of bringing back the older version is still close to zero and Hero is currently focusing on its performance motorcycle built with a tie-up with EBR. The 250cc machine named as HX250R would be the next big thing from Hero. The motorcycle would produce around 31 BHP and 26 NM of torque. It is expected to launch with a price tag of INR 1,30,000-1,50,000 with further options of bringing non-ABS and ABS variants.
Hero Xtreme or Xtreme Sports - Which one is better for 6-ft tall person?
02 January 2023 06:34
Hero Xtreme Sports is a better option than normal Hero Xtreme as it comes with a higher tuned version of the same 149.2 cc engine. The bike comes with a maximum power output of 15.2 BHP @ 8,500 rpm and 13.5 NM @ 7,000 rpm. It will definitely suit your personality as it gets a high stance compared to other bikes in the segment. It gets a seat height of 795 mm and comes with a top speed of 115 mm. The 145 mm of ground clearance is fairly good as the bike is vulnerable to rough roads. The 240 mm disc brake is provided at the front whereas the rear gets an optional disc in the higher variant. The single disc Xtreme costs INR 72,625 whereas the double disc costs INR 75,725.

The Hero Maestro is available in Mahabubnagar district of Telangana at a price tag of INR 50,203 for the single shade variant and INR 50,503 for the Red & White variant.

What can I do to return my Hero Maestro to the company?
02 January 2023 06:34
Your scooter is under the given warranty period of Hero Motocorp and you can complain about the problems to your nearest dealers. Please check if you have completed all the services from an authorized dealer as they will question the engine oil quality if you have done the same from any other source. You can ask them abut the possible measures as they would not exchange the product after such a long period. Carburettor tuning can be done for a better mileage and that will also influence the acceleration of the scooter.
Hero Maestro Edge ya Honda Activa 3G?
02 January 2023 06:34
Hero Maestro Edge would be a better option over Honda Activa 3G as it comes with loads of extra features for the same price as that of the 3rd generation Activa. Maestro Edge comes with a claimed mileage of 65.8 kmpl whereas Activa claims a 60 kmpl mileage only. It gets telescopic front shock absorbers whereas the Activa uses spring loaded type suspension, making it outdated in front of the Maestro Edge. The front wheel of the newcomer is 12 inch in diameter, providing better and stable ride. The Maestro Edge comes with alloy wheels, tubeless tyres, mobile charging point, underseat luggage lamp, immobilizer and designer LED tail light. It even gets a sporty and attractive design than the Activa 3G. All this comes with a price tag of INR 49,500-50,700.
Which 125cc bike is best? Confused? Hero Glamour PGM-Fi or Bajaj Pulsar 135LS?
02 January 2023 06:33
Hero Glamour is a better option when considering a bike in the 125 cc segment. The Pulsar 135LS is quiet powerful but its built quality is not upto the mark. A lot of vibrations are found in the Pulsar when riding fast, making the ride quality lower than others in the segment. Going for 125 cc bike is a better opinion and the 124.7 cc engine from the Hero Glamour is an excellent unit. It produces 9 BHP and 10.35 NM of torque, returning a mileage of 55 kmpl. The bike comes with a 13.6 liter fuel tank, making it good for 700 km stretch at a single refill.
When is Hero going to launch the ZIR 150 in India?
02 January 2023 06:33
Hero ZIR has been displayed in its production ready version earlier but still does not have a launch date on its side. The only reason for the mishap was the EBR bankruptcy, which halted the research and further testing of their newly developed products. The most probable launch of the ZIR 150 would be after the launch of HX250R, which has also faced the same problems as the ZIR 150. You would have to most probably wait till the next year or you can consider checking its yet to be launched rivals like Honda PCX and Yamaha XMAX. Most probably, all of these would launch in a same quarter of the next year. ZIR would get a 14.1 BHP, 157.1 cc engine with an automatic gearbox. It would be priced upward of INR 85,000.
Which one is better in terms of mileage – Old Hero Karizma ZMR or New Karizma V2.0?
02 January 2023 06:33
The new Karizma ZMR version 2.0 is a better version than the older version 1.0. It gets a better tuning to the same old 223 cc engine producing 20 BHP and 19.7 NM of torque against the 17.6 BHP and 18.35 NM of torque of the older version. The size of the rear wheel has also increased from 100/90-18 to 120/80-18. The acceleration and mileage figures have also been better than before, lacking behind only in terms of design. The older Karizma bought more pleasure to the eye than the newer version. The version 2.0 comes with a price tag of INR 1,05,500 and returns a mileage of 40 + kmpl.
September has arrived… Will Hero HX250R be finally launched this month?
02 January 2023 06:33
The Hero HX250R has been left with very few chances for the launch in this year. Hero has newly launched the Maestro Edge and unvieled the Duet scooter for the Indian market. Their next product will most probably be the HX250R as it has been pending from a long time back. The bike was made in collaboration with EBR group and the financial problems of EBR lead to the delay of the bike. It comes with a 250 cc, 1-cylinder engine producing 31 BHP and 26 NM of torque. The gearbox will be a 6-speed unit and optional ABS would be provided on the bike. It comes with a price range of INR 1,30,000-1,50,000.
I have been seeing Hero Hastur reviews, pictures past a year and still have no idea when is it launching in India! Is somebody there to get me through this?
02 January 2023 06:33
Hero Hastur has been seen till date in concept pictures only. The bike has not yet been spotted in it's production ready version and its launch would be most probably in the 3rd quarter of 2016. Firstly, Hero will focus on the HX250R and gain some market in the decaying Karizma section. The Hastur will fall in the category of middleweight street bikes and it will require intense testing before its launch. It was seen with a 620 cc engine producing 78.9 BHP and 72 NM of torque. The gearbox used was a 6-speed whereas the weight was kept very low at 160 kg. It is expected to be priced around INR 4,00,000.
My height is 5-ft 6-inch… Can I ride Hero HX250R?
02 January 2023 06:33
The Hero HX250's seat height has not been disclosed by the company yet. From its images, the seat height of the bike expected to stay below 800mm, making it good for your height. HX250R comes with a 249 cc, liquid cooled engine producing 31 BHP and 26 NM of torque. The bike comes with a 6-speed gearbox and comes with standard telescopic forks for the front suspension. It gets a single front 300 mm disc brake whereas the rear disc brake measures 220 mm. The bike will come in ABS as well as non ABS variants. The price tag for the same is expected to be around INR 1,30,000-1,50,000.
Which bike is better for mileage - Yamaha R15 or Hero Hunk?
02 January 2023 06:32
The best bike when you consider mileage as your first preference would be the Hero Hunk. It would return a mileage of approx 45 kmpl, which is more than R15's 35-40 kmpl. The Hunk is available in different variants, single disc brake and double disc brake. It comes with a 149.2 cc engine producing 14.2 BHP @ 8,500 rpm and 12.8 NM @ 6,500 rpm. It gets a 5-speed gearbox and comes with a 12.40 liter of fuel tank. Hero Hunk weighs 147 kg and has a seat height of 795 mm. The front disc brake measures 240 mm and the rear one comes out to be 220 mm in the double disc variant. The Hunk comes with a price tag of INR 69,725-72,825.

Which is the best bike among Bajaj Pulsar 150 DTS-i, TVS Apache RTR 160 & Hero Hunk?
02 January 2023 06:32
The TVS Apache RTR 160 is the best bike among all the option considered above. It comes with a 159.7 cc engine producing 15.2 BHP @ 8,500 rpm and 13.1 NM @ 4,000 rpm. The advantage of full torque at lower rpm makes the bike a fun to ride machine as it effortlessly runs on highways and mountain drives. It comes with a 5-speed gearbox and gets optional double disc model also. The beast eye DRL's are exclusive to the Apache series and looks the best when compared with all the other segment bikes. It comes within a range of INR 72,344-74,344 and gets the most aggressive performance and running dynamics among all.

How is the sound of the Hero Hastur 620 and can we put extra vibrational sound silencer.....like R1 and Hayabusa?
02 January 2023 06:32
Hero Hastur has not been spotted in a production ready avatar. Its sound would be below the government directed NVH levels and putting a loud silencer for more noise would be strictly prohibited in the coming days. The time till the Hastur will be arrive, the officials will ban the use of aftermarket exhaust system as they have currently fined some riders as well as the garages who are involved in these cases. I expect that the exhaust note of the Hastur would be good enough that it does not require modifications to its exhaust system. It will get its power from a powerful 2-cylinder 620 cc engine producing 79 BHP and 72 NM of torque. It would most probably debut in 2016 as a mass production ready version.

What's the correct mileage of Hero Hastur 620 and when it will be launched?
02 January 2023 06:32
The mileage of Hero Hastur has not yet been revealed but I expect the figure to be around 22-24 kmpl. Hero has a pending list of motorcycles after which the Hastur will be launched. You can expect this super street bike to arrive in 2016 as 2015 would be for HX250R. Its on-road price in Karnataka would be close to INR 5 lakh and it would be carrying a twin cylinder 620 cc engine, expected to produce 79 BHP and 72 NM of torque. Its lightweight bod would feature aggressive designing and its expected top speed is 240 kmph. It gets a 6-speed gearbox along with a 15 liter fuel tank.
