    Hero Destini 125 Facelift Sketch Leaks – Rear Design Revealed Before Launch

    Hero Destini 125 Facelift Sketch Leaks – Current vs NewHero MotoCorp is getting ready to launch the facelifted Destini 125 scooter – Ahead of that, new details have leakedAfter losing the No 1 spot to Honda, Hero MotoCorp, is on a mission to increase its market share in scooter segment. Hero wants to democratise 125cc scooters further by updating its Destini 125 scooter. Spy shots of the front-right quarter of this scooter had already leaked. Now we get to see the rear section in design trademarks filed by the brand.Hero Destini 125 Facelift Sketch LeaksIf we take a look at India’s 125cc scooter segment, every other contender has a price tag upwards of Rs 82,000 (Ex-sh). However, Hero MotoCorp is being the good guy here and offers Destini 125 Prime (base model) for a starting price of Rs 71,499 (Ex-sh, Delhi). This is big for Hero MotoCorp as rival 125cc scooters cost about Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 46,000 more (ex-sh).Hero Destini 125 Facelift Design TrademarkSo, there is potential in Destini platform, but it needs some sprucing to significantly boost sales and feature in top 10 scooters. That’s exactly what Hero is doing. From the previous leaked images of the Destini facelift, we can see a radically more mature product than what Destini currently is.There has been an attempt to transform Destini 125 into a more stylish and sophisticated product than before. Front apron has been significantly overhauled to establish a unique design. There are new alloy wheels and depending on variants, Hero is also offering a front disc brake as well.Hero Destini 125 Facelift. Image – TeamBHPThe new design trademarks from Hero MotoCorp shows the Destini facelift from the back and reveals most of its side profile too. We can see more minimal side body panels with a new exhaust cover. From this angle, there seem to be similarities with Yamaha Fascino. Current Destini’s large and awkward tail lights and rear turn indicators have been made sleeker on facelift.There is a stepped seat for a sporty look and pillion backrest has been redesigned too. The large storage behind the apron has been removed and we now get a small cubby where one can place their phone. There doesn’t seem to be any smart key implementation here and the external fuel filler lid has also been redesigned.Next-Gen Hero Destini Scooter Vs Current ModelWhat to expect?Hero will continue to offer XTEC Bluetooth connectivity in top models. As seen from the new design trademarks, there seems to be a new instrument cluster and we hope there is a TFT screen with turn-by-turn navigation too. Along with that, LED headlights, USB charging port, boot lamp, front disc brake, i3S stop start system,Mechanically, Hero Destini 125 facelift is likely to retain its powertrain from current Destini. It is a 124.6cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine. This engine generates 9 bhp of peak power at 7,000 RPM and 10.36 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 RPM. Fuel efficiency claimed by Hero MotoCorp on current model is 56 km/l.Current Hero Destini 125 XTECWe can expect a slight price hike as opposed to current Hero Destini 125 Prime and Destini 125. But it will continue to significantly undercut its immediate 125cc rivals. Launch is likely to be right around the corner. Say September 2024.Also read – Hero Xpulse 210 with Karizma engine spied More

    Yamaha Aerox 155 Version S 500km Review – Performance Meets Practicality!

    Yamaha Aerox Version S ReviewOwing to its unique blend of performance, excitement and practicality, Yamaha Aerox 155 Version S is the best mainstream enthusiast scooter in IndiaIn many scenarios, scooters emerge as the more preferred means of transport in the city. They’re unisex in their approach and have a step-through floorboard for added practicality. For folks who are used to underseat storage, scooters are irreplaceable. But scooters lack in performance to satisfy the enthusiast who craves for a little more oomph.Yamaha is catering to this particular niche with Aerox 155. This scooter has been on sale for some time and recently got an update in April 2024 in the form of a new top-spec variant called Aerox 155 Version S with a Smart Key. Yamaha India provided Rushlane with Aerox 155 Version S for a short review. Here’s what we think about it after riding it for around 500 km.Yamaha Aerox Version S ReviewYamaha Aerox 155 Version SFor starters, Yamaha Aerox 155 is a performance-oriented sporty scooter with a non-step-through floorboard. Yamaha calls it a “Maxi Scooter”, even though it has less fairing than a typical Maxi Scooter would. India has a fair share of Maxi Scooters like Suzuki Burgman Street 125 and Aprilia SXR 160. But Yamaha Aerox 155 has performance like none of the mainstream scooters on sale in India, including Aprilia SXR 160 and especially, the Suzuki Burgman Street 125.The new Aerox 155 Version S is offered in two colours only – Racing Blue and Silver. Both colours command a price tag of Rs 1,51,200 (Ex-sh, Delhi). Regular non Version S Aerox 155 without Smart Key starts from Rs 1,47,900 (Ex-sh, Delhi). The price feels slightly high for what is a scooter. But, this is no ordinary scooter. For context, you can buy a Hero Xpulse 200 4V Pro with fully adjustable suspension and turn-by-turn navigation for Rs 1.55 lakh (Ex-sh).Yamaha Aerox Version S ReviewFor what it is, Yamaha Aerox 155 is a commendable motorcycle as it is the first ever of its kind for Indian mainstream market. It is a global design with a tunnel in the floorboard where the 5.5L fuel tank is. It is one of the, if not, the best looking scooters on sale in the mainstream market. The twin LED headlights lend a feel of a large scooter and so does the overall design. The central tunnel, sharp stepped seat and overall edgy design completes that unique sporty look.Practicality and FeaturesThe main highlight of Aerox 155 is that it combines a motorcycle’s performance with a scooter’s underseat storage. Underseat space is enormous and we could fit a XL size full face helmet as well. Yay! There is a small storage behind the front apron where users can keep their smartphone to charge. Sadly, Yamaha still offers a 12V socket as a charging solution. Buyers who are buying a niche premium and pricey product like Aerox 155 Version S would have wanted a USB Type-C socket. Also, it would have been nice if this glovebox was lockable.Yamaha Aerox Version S BootWith the new Version S, Aerox 155 gets an all new Smart Key with features like Answer Back, Unlock and Immobilizer. There is a significant convenience advantage offered by scooters with Smart Keys and Aerox 155 Version S is no different. Answer Back feature is handy when you are trying to locate the scooter in a parking lot as it beeps and flashes for you when activated. User can just chuck the keys in the pocket or a bag and forget about it and keyless system works flawlessly without a single issue.Yamaha Aerox Version S Smart KeyThere is a fully digital instrument cluster with two tachometers, for some reason. One of them could have been something different like a fuel-efficiency meter like Honda does with their cars. This instrument cluster is negative LCD and is not legible in direct sunlight. If you wear sunglasses like I do, legibility leaves the chat almost completely. It features connectivity with a dedicated smartphone app showing many stats and other info, including last parked location. But there is no turn-by-turn navigation on offer, which is unacceptable at this price point.Yamaha Aerox Version S Dim Instrument ScreenOther notable elements include fancy brake levers, fancy footpegs, a side-stand engine cut-off feature, engine start/stop feature, hazard light feature among others. On a vehicle priced at a premium, we sorely missed a few features like LED turn indicators, a parking brake (brake lock), illuminated switchgear, self-canceling turn indicators and turn-by-turn navigation.Yamaha Aerox Version S Side ProfilePerformance and RideThat said, there are a few aspects about Aerox 155 that blurs the price tag and makes the purchase feel worth it. They are performance and handling. This is where Aerox 155 Version S shines bright. With the same 155cc single-cylinder DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine with VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) as YZF-R15, it is easily the most performant mainstream scooter ever sold in India. This engine has 14.75 bhp of peak power at 8,000 RPM and 13.9 Nm at 6,500 RPM, mated to a CVT gearbox.Yamaha Aerox 155 EnginePerformance is brisk and you can zip around the traffic easily with enough gust on tap. Acceleration is addictive and maintaining 100 km/h on highways on Aerox 155 feels like second nature. Even though the fairing is not as pronounced as a typical Maxi Scooter, it still does a decent job in deflecting wind. Ride is very sporty too and Aerox has very impressive cornering capabilities for a scooter. Large 14-inch wheels wrapped with fat 110-section front and 140-section rear tyres further aid in handling and straight-line stability.Yamaha Aerox 155 Fuel FillerRear suspension is on the stiffer side, but we did ride the scooter with slightly less air at the back, to counteract some of the stiffness. Braking at the front was decent with good bite and progression, backed by single-channel ABS. Rear drum brake setup, however, felt inadequate. Riding position is slightly committed, for a sporty feel. I am a 6 ft (182cm) tall individual and I faced some ergonomic issues with Aerox 155. Because of my tall legs, I tend to sit in the middle of a scooter’s seat and I couldn’t do that with Aerox owing to the stepped seat. People of normal height might not face any issues like I did.Yamaha Aerox 155 FasciaConclusionAll-in-all, we wished Aerox 155 Version S came with a few features that 2W vehicles priced way less, are offering. We also wish Yamaha had offered a rear disc brake with dual-channel ABS system for the price. Upcoming Hero Xoom 160 will be a fitting rival to Aerox and will also achieve significant price advantage. However, Yamaha Aerox 155 Version S is the most performant mainstream scooter on offer today. For enthusiasts who are looking for motorcycle performance with scooter’s practicality, we would easily recommend Yamaha Aerox 155 owing to its sporty ride and zippy performance and to stand out among the sea of conventional scooters.

    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Sportsbike Details Leak – RC 390 Rival?

    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 SportsbikeGenre-wise, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Sportsbike will rival upcoming Triumph Thruxton 400 with similar semi-faired cafe racer looksThe newly launched Guerrilla 450 has been one of the hottest motorcycle launches in India. It falls in the performance-oriented premium 300cc to 500cc motorcycle segment where a lot of action has sprung up in the recent past. Now, company’s internal presentation shows a Guerrilla 450 based sportsbike that should rival KTM RC 390.Guerrilla 450 Sportsbike IncomingA couple of years ago, a snippet from Royal Enfield’s internal presentation had leaked on the internet. This snippet showed family trees of Royal Enfield’s 350cc portfolio, 650cc portfolio and 450cc portfolio. Based on the 450cc platform, Royal Enfield is planning to launch as many as five motorcycles.Royal motorcycle launch plansTwo of these five motorcycles have been launched already in the form of Himalayan 450 and recently launched Guerrilla 450. Now, the third motorcycle is taking shape and is likely to emerge as the sportiest offering based on Royal Enfield’s Sherpa 450 platform. We’re talking about a semi-faired sportsbike whose silhouette snippet has just leaked on the internet.Owing to its semi-faired nature, it will be positioned as a retro cafe racer of sorts. It will come equipped with improved componentry as opposed to Guerrilla 450 and command a slight price premium. Other upcoming motorcycles based on Sherpa 450 platform are a Scrambler and a more off-road version of Himalayan 450.Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450When launched, this Guerrilla 450 based Sportsbike might take the name of Continental GT-R 450. As in, it has design attributes of a Continental GT 650, but has a racing semi fairing like race-spec Continental GT-R 650. These bikes are track-only and participate in Continental GT Cup racing series.Changes over Guerrilla 450As seen in the leaked snippet of the upcoming Royal Enfield motorcycle, there is an overall identical silhouette as Guerrilla 450. We can see a cowl on top of its pillion seat, which could be removable. Thus striking both practicality and style. The semi-fairing engulfs Guerrilla’s round LED headlights and extends till the fuel tank.Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450From the looks of it, there are USD telescopic front forks replacing the RSU telescopic front forks on Guerrilla 450. Bar-end mirrors are also likely to be on offer as they complete that retro cafe racer look rather well. Alloy wheels look like they’re new and might be 17-inchers at both ends wrapped with fat 160-section at the rear.Guerrilla’s Tripper Dash will be carried over too along with features like Google Maps and music control. Engine will remain to be the same 452cc single-cylinder DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine with around 40 bhp of peak power and 40 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. When launched, it would primarily rival the upcoming Triumph Thruxton 400.Also read – Updated Bullet 350, Meteor 350 launch after Classic 350 faceliftSource More

    Hero Electric DealersThe dealers claim that Hero Electric has not paid them in the past two years due to which outstanding payments have escalated to around Rs 500 croresThere is an ongoing battle between Hero Electric and the company dealers. The dealers complain that even as more than Rs 150 crores have been paid to the company in advance for supply of electric scooters, the company claims otherwise, ‘jo karna hai kar lijiye’ (you are free to take any recourse). In 2021, Hero Electric had stated that they aim to sell 10 lakh electric scooters / EVs per year.Hero Electric Dealers Protest at Gurugram HQOver 200 Hero Electric dealers have been protesting outside the Hero Electric headquarters in Gurugram, seeking dues that run into hundreds of crores. In the past year alone, the dealers have deposited over Rs 150 crores into the accounts of Hero Electric. This amount was taken in advance for the supply of the company’s range of electric scooters, however, neither were deliveries made nor were warranty for spare parts provided.Hero Electric dealers protesting at company HQ pic.twitter.com/jfoL3B3TTP— RushLane (@rushlane) August 9, 2024A letter written by the dealers to the Prime Minister seeks his intervention into their grievances. The pending payment currently amounts to Rs 500 crores while at the same time leaving around 50,000 customers in dire straits due to the warranty of spares issue not being sorted out.Hero Electric Dealers AngryThis disparity between the management and its dealerships have left many dealers at their wits end. Some have even attempted suicide. They are left facing the issue of depleting sales due to no batteries and chargers being supplied which are under warranty. Subsidies to be passed on to end-customers as per the FAME-II policy has also not been reimbursed till date. The dealers also have to face angry customers who have been attacking dealers due to no servicing being offered on their vehicles.Hero Electric dealers protest – Says company holding Rs 500 crores byu/UseSimilar3989 inindianbikesNishant Bansal, a Delhi-based dealer and the President of World Federation of ZE EV and Welfare Association has stated that dealers have been left with huge debts. They now seek immediate compensation and reimbursement from the company and the assurance that outstanding warranty and supply of spare parts will be addressed on a war footing. This issue has affected over 50,000 electric vehicles from Hero Electric, leaving scores of customers dissatisfied and angry.A point to be noted is that Delhi High Court along with Punjab and Haryana High Court have also admitted petitions by Hero Electric disputing actions of the Ministry of Heavy Industries and sought recovery of pending subsidies to the tune of over Rs 550 crore since 2021.Hero Electric Management Denies AllegationsIn response to the above contention from company dealers, Hero Electric held a meeting with the dealers at the company headquarters in Gurugram, but refused to pay even a part of the outstanding dues, according to Bansal. He also stated that when urged to pay at least a part of the dues, the management refused, stating ‘jo karna hai kar lijiye’ (you are free to take any recourse). The company claimed that these claims of Rs 500 crore pending amounts is false and mischievous.A spokesperson at Hero Electric stated “Dealers have separate agreements with the company, based on their sales estimates. Production shutdown for the last nine months has caused delays; however, the company has already started production, and dispatch of vehicles has already commenced with a commitment to the dealers to resolve open issues by December 2024”.
