    Hero Mavrick 440 Mileage Test Report – Real World Fuel Efficiency

    by

    Hero Mavrick 440 Mileage TestConsidering the displacement and performance it packs, Hero Mavrick 440 mileage test results in real-world conditions are impressive
    India’s leading motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, needs no introduction. The company has an unmatched legacy in India and abroad with budget commuter offerings. Reliability, affordability, accessibility, fuel efficiency and economical running costs are the main forte of Hero and its budget commuters.
    Now, Hero has a proper big bike in their portfolio for the first time with Mavrick 440. But how much mileage (fuel Efficiency) can one expect out of Hero’s first big bike? Hero MotoCorp provided Rushlane with a review sample and here’s what the Mavrick 440 managed to eke out riding through a mixture of city (with traffic) and highways.
    Hero Mavrick 440
    Hero Mavrick 440 Mileage Report
    With the review sample provided by Hero MotoCorp, I embarked on a long weekend solo ride to experience Hero’s first-ever big bike. I took the motorcycle from my place in Pune to Chatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, then to Nashik and returned back to Pune in just two days. Mavrick 440 packs ample performance with a 440cc oil-cooled engine with 27 bhp and 36 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
    Hero Mavrick 440 – Start Of The Test
    I was curious to find out just how fuel-efficient Hero Mavrick 440 is. So, I followed a proper tank-to-tank method. Mavrick’s fuel tank was filled to the brim and travelled across city traffic and highway run, including a few bad patches of roads along the way. After riding it for 192.5 km, I filled the tank back again to the brim, at the same spot as before, for a close-to-accurate reading.
    Hero Mavrick 440 – End Of The Test
    As seen in our mileage test run, Hero Mavrick 440 consumed 4.48L of fuel to cover 192.5 km. This was a surprising result as the mileage figure (fuel efficiency) turned out to be an impressive 42.96 km/l. It has to be noted that the majority of this ride was done on highways within a set speed limit of 100 km/h.
    Hero Mavrick 440 – Fuel Consumed
    Around 10% of this 192.5 km mileage was in the city with reasonable traffic in and around Chatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. Even on highways, throttle modulation was normal and I was not wringing it hard. Average highway speeds maintained across this ride were between 90 km/h and 100 km/h.
    Is the mileage good?
    Interestingly, bike’s instrument cluster showed a range of 451 km when the tank was filled to the brim. I felt like the Fuel gauge was generally inconsistent during my period with this motorcycle. In the city, especially in Pune traffic, I was getting around 25 km/l to 30 km/l, which is acceptable for a motorcycle of this displacement and performance.
    Hero Mavrick 440
    The sub 500cc premium single-cylinder motorcycle segment is gaining popularity and has been populated by multiple offerings across many brands. Royal Enfield has launched Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450, Bajaj-KTM duo has 390 Duke, 390 Adventure, RC 390 and Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, Bajaj-Triumph has Speed T4, Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X.
    Hero MotoCorp and Harley-Davidson partnership are crashing the party with Mavrick 440 and X440 respectively. Hero Mavrick 440 is the more affordable offering, while still offering the same basic ethos as X440, sans the brand factor and a few nice-to-have elements. With pricing as the key strength, Mavrick 440 even undercuts Royal Enfield’s Classic 350. More

      Right after Honda unveiled Activa e and QC1 in India, Hero MotoCorp has launched V2 range of electric scooters. With the V2 lineup, Hero MotoCorp aims to make a bigger splash in electric scooter industry and boost sales further. The company also aims at capturing a much bigger chunk of electric scooters with removable battery before Honda’s offerings hit the market.

      There are two new colours with V2 lineup – Matte Nexus Blue-Grey and Glossy Sports Red. These colours aim to bring a fresh and dynamic appeal. When compared to V1 range of electric scooters, there seem to be a few design changes with V2 lineup. Most notable among them is the positioning of front turn indicators.
      There are V2 badges on side body panel now, replacing V1. Other than these subtle changes, Vida V2 range remains functionally identical to V1 range. Vida’s bold and contemporary design with removable battery architecture has been retained. Just like V1 range, V2 lineup promises exceptional ergonomics and an ideal combination of ride handling and performance.

Where performance is concerned, there is a swingarm-mounted motor with 6 kW of peak power and 25 Nm of peak torque. Vida V2 can sprint from 0-40 km/h in 2.9 seconds and can hit a top speed of 90 km/h. There are riding modes – Eco, Ride, Sport and Custom (only with V2 Pro).

      Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler Name Trademarked – Launch Soon?

      by

      Hero Mavrick 440 ScramblerAlong with new design elements, there might be tuning to Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler’s powertrain and suspension setup for a unique character
      India’s leading motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, is currently on a mission to revamp its premium lineup. Not just that, the goal is also to offer a premium ownership experience and that’s where Hero’s Premia dealerships come into action. Populating these new dealerships is tasked to a multitude of current and upcoming motorcycles.
      Among these upcoming motorcycles, Hero showcased a few at EICMA 2024 last month. Among the showcased motorcycles, Mavrick 440 Scrambler was missing, whose design patent was leaked ahead of EICMA 2024. Now, the trademark application of Hero Mavrick 440 has been leaked suggesting a launch might be around the corner.
      Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler
      Where genre is concerned, Hero Mavrick 440 is a Roadster with hints of a neo-retro motorcycle. However, it can be easily confused as it doesn’t make a lasting impression on audience. The ‘Jack of all trades’ approach might be lending it a slightly convoluted identity. If only there was a more dedicated genre approach, there’s a lot to like about Mavrick 440.
      That’s exactly where Mavrick 440 Scrambler might excel. This is Hero’s first ever scrambler vehicle to hit the market. After the leaked design patents, trademark filings have been leaked, confirming the name of this upcoming motorcycle. As seen in filing from Hero MotoCorp limited, Mavrick 440 Scrambler name is already registered.
      Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler Name Trademarked
      The design patents leaked last month suggest that Mavrick 440 Scrambler will have upgraded components over standard model on sale today. There are new design elements on Scrambler variant too, helping in establishing a unique identity of its own. Powertrain could be the same 440cc oil-cooled unit with 27 bhp and 36 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
      Design changes
      Some of these design changes include a new fly screen and fork gaiters on RSU telescopic forks at the front to lend Scrambler vibes. There is a new handlebar that comes with a cross brace as opposed to the simpler one seen on standard Mavrick 440. Alloy wheel design is new and might get a dual-tone effect.
      Fuel tank looks like it is carried over. However, tank shrouds on Mavrick 440 Scrambler get a new pattern and side body panels are new, for a rugged vibe. Rear sub frame looks new and it is slightly raised for more ground clearance. LED tail lights and rear mud guard are unique with this variant.
      New Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler Variant
      Seat looks much flatter and is a split-type design as opposed to Mavrick 440’s single-piece approach. Other notable changes include beefy-looking side guards along with a engine bash plate that might be made out of metal. Together with these new design elements, Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler looks a lot more macho and appealing. When launched, it take on Royal Enfield Scram 440 and Triumph’s upcoming Scrambler T4. More

      Hero Surge S32 Convertible Electric Scooter / Rickshaw – Production Sketch Leaks

      by

      Hero Surge S32 Convertible Electric Scooter / RickshawWith versatility being the mantra, Hero Surge S32 aims to be the perfect self-employed individual’s vehicle across multiple genres
      With a mission to revolutionise Indian last mile mobility segment, Hero MotoCorp owned Surge EV electric mobility subsidiary is set to launch S32 2W-cum-3W vehicle in India soon. Design for the same has been officially patented and we can expect a formal launch sometime in the calendar year 2025. Let’s take a look.
      Surge S32 Electric
      Very few OEMs dare to redefine a segment with groundbreaking innovations. For Surge EV electric mobility startup, their maiden S32 electric 2W/3W convertible vehicle is a defining offering. This is what will define their vehicles in the future, setting a new standard in innovation and problem-solving.
      Hero Surge S32 Convertible Electric Scooter / Rickshaw
      Bankrolled by automotive juggernaut like Hero MotoCorp, Surge S32 seems to be ready to hit production sometime in calendar year 2025. Design patents for the same have been filed in India, showing that the production model could look vastly similar to what Surge EV showed as a concept earlier this year.
      In essence, Surge S32 is a hybrid vehicle that consists of an electric scooter which acts as the front wheel for a non self propelled rear module. This non self-propelled rear module has a battery pack of its own and even an electric motor. This is so that both the scooter and this non self-propelled rear module have independent powertrains.
      Hero Surge S32
      This rear module will be offered with multiple variants – 3W auto rickshaw (S32 PV), a 3W cargo vehicle (S32 LD), a 3W covered cargo vehicle (S32 HD) and a flat-bed 3W cargo vehicle (S32 FB). This unlocks versatility in the commercial 3W segment, giving Surge EV an edge, right from their maiden vehicle.
      Surge S32 combines an electric scooter and an electric 3W commercial vehicle in one package. Because something like this has never been attempted before, Surge has worked with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and has created a new vehicle category called L2-5. This new category represents a 2W-3W combi module vehicle, combining an L2 scooter with a non self-propelled rear module.
      Surge S32 different body styles
      How easy is the transition?
      Standalone, Surge S32 electric scooter part looks like a family scooter with youthful design and has shock absorbers at both wheels to bear weight of the non self-propelled rear module. It has a disc brake at the front, which is unique for a 3W CV. Rear module rests on the scooter and the operator is sitting on the scooter’s seat.
      Scooter’s instrumentation is used in 3W mode too, for speedo and other vital readings. The rickshaw body is made entirely out of metal. It is positioned on an AMSEP skateboard consisting of a rugged ladder-frame chassis. Surge S32 promises that the transformation from 2W to 3W or vice-versa can happen with minimal to no effort under 3 minutes on any road conditions.

      Hero Surge S32 2-in-1 Electric Scooter-Cum-Rickshaw To Start Production Soon

      by

      Hero Surge S32The unique Hero Surge S32 can transform into a 2W or a 3W with minimum effort, on all road conditions and under 3 minutes
      Indian automotive industry has seen a few innovative products across segments and genres. Among the most interesting ones is the Surge S32 2-in-1 electric scooter-cum-rickshaw. This innovative product comes from a startup called Surge, owned by 2W juggernaut Hero MotoCorp.
      After debuting earlier this year and winning many design awards, Hero Surge S32 is making headlines again. This time, the company is commencing production of S32 within a year. Speculations also suggest a launch might happen somewhere around mid-2025.
      Hero Surge S32
      Hero Surge S32
      There are commercial vehicles and then there are private passenger vehicles. Very few brands have tried to combine these two aspects. A few years ago, we saw the launch of Eicher Polaris Multix which tried to bridge the gap between CVs and PVs in the lower-tier price bracket. However, it didn’t catch on.
      Now, Hero MotoCorp is trying the bridge the gap between CVs and PVs, but with a unique take of its own. With their Surge EV subsidiary, Hero has culminated a unique experience for users by combining an electric scooter and a 3-wheeler electric rickshaw. Surge S32 is set to go into series production soon.
      Surge S32 different body styles
      There may be multiple variants of Surge S32. A 3W auto rickshaw (S32 PV), a 3W cargo vehicle (S32 LD), a 3W covered cargo vehicle (S32 HD) and a flat-bed 3W cargo vehicle (S32 FB). In all these versions, scooter part remains the same, while the rickshaw part changes accordingly.
      This is the first time an OEM has attempted to combine a 2W and a 3W in one product. Hence, it needs a special category which Surge and Hero have worked out with Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Called L2-5, it represents a 2W-3W combi module category, where an L2 scooter is connected with a non-self-propelled rear module.
      Hero Surge convertible EV
      How does it work?
      Surge S32 is based on the AMSEP platform constructed around a ladder-frame chassis. The scooter and non-self-propelled rear module have separate powertrains and the system automatically switches between these powertrains as per the vehicle in use. It has to be noted that the scooter acts as the front wheel for rear non-self-propelled module.
      Surge EV promises the conversion between 2W and 3W is seamless and takes little to no effort, happens under 3 minutes and can be done anywhere. The company promises safe and reliable battery and a full-metal body. While scooter’s instrumentation becomes Rickshaw’s instrumentation, Rickshaw gets more switches of its own.
      Hero Surve EV – 2 in 1 convertible EV
      The main use case of this unique approach is to provide users with a versatile vehicle for multiple roles. It could be one’s daily bread to transport cargo or passengers in 3W mode. Also, it could be one’s last-mile delivery vehicle in 2W mode or one’s personal mode of transportation, leaving their commercial aspects behind.

      Hero Xpulse 210 Vs Xpulse 200 4V – Specs, Features Compared

      by

      Hero Xpulse 210 Vs Xpulse 200While the launch date of 250cc motorcycles showcased at EICMA 2024 is not clear yet, Xpulse 210 might launch sooner than later
      If there is one motorcycle company that has democratised off-road bikes to the masses, it has to be Hero MotoCorp. The company started this mission with the launch of Impulse and the mantle was carried on to Xpulse 200. Now, there is a new Xpulse 210 showcased at EICMA, set to launch soon. But how much better is it than Xpulse 200? Let’s take a look.
      Xpulse 210 Vs Xpulse 200
      Within Hero MotoCorp’s portfolio, Xpulse 200 might be one of the most improved vehicles that we can think of. The company has updated it multiple times based on customer feedback but has always left enthusiasts craving for more. That’s a story for another day. In this comparison post, let’s see how Hero Xpulse 210 fares against Xpulse 200 4V.
      Hero Xpulse 210 Vs Xpulse 200 – Comparison Table
      While the main change is in engine department, we can’t gloss away the fact that Xpulse 210 has an all-new design. Round headlight with an H-shaped LED DRL signature has been retained. But most of the design is new. For starters, we get a new fuel tank that looks larger than on Xpulse 200’s.
      Adding more muscle are the new tank shrouds that house a radiator and an oil reservoir of the liquid-cooled engine. There is a new subframe and associated body panels and we get a new rear luggage rack. Seat looks new as well. We can also spot a new windscreen and new position for exhaust can that is more up-swept than before.
      2025 Hero Xpulse 210 Engine
      New Engine
      Main difference is from its engine department. Xpulse 210 borrows Karizma XMR 210’s liquid-cooled engine. Thus generating 24.26 bhp of peak power and 20.7 Nm of peak torque. This is an increase of 5.1 bhp of power and 3.5 Nm of torque, over Xpulse 200 4V. More appreciable are the addition of DOHC 4V head and liquid cooling for smoother power delivery.
      The addition of a slipper clutch and 6-speed gearbox will ensure Xpulse finally gets the much-needed high-speed highway cruising capability. On paper, these updates make Xpulse 210 one of the most complete vehicles on sale in India. That one motorcycle to (potentially) do it all.
      Hero Xpulse 210
      Componentry
      Xpulse 210 still comes with the same 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, which is a good thing for off-road enthusiasts. Sadly, the tyres are still of tube-type. Just like there is a Pro variant with Xpulse 200, Hero has showcased an Xpulse 210 Rally with upgraded components, which will launch after the launch of standard bike.
      Speaking of standard Xpulse 210, suspension travel has gone up to 210mm front and 205 mm rear. Xpulse 210 Rally gets fully adjustable front (compression and rebound) and rear (preload and rebound) with higher suspension travel. Braking is handled by discs at both ends. Unlike Xpulse 200 with single-channel ABS, Xpulse 210 gets dual-channel ABS.
      New Hero Xpulse 210
      Features and Launch
      Features-wise, Hero is offering more with Xpulse 210. For starters, there is a new 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster that is a major leap from the LCD setup on Xpulse 200. This unit also gets upgraded switchgear and supports Bluetooth and Navigation features when connected to a smartphone.
      Hero MotoCorp has not confirmed the launch date of the new motorcycles showcased at EICMA 2024. However, there is a good possibility of Hero Xpulse 210 launching soon, considering that it has been tested for a long time. In contrast, the 250cc offerings will launch later after thorough testing.

      2025 Hero Karizma 210 Pro Showcased At EICMA – USD Forks, New Features

      Hero Karizma 210 Pro
      With these additions, Hero Karizma XMR 210 Pro might emerge as one of the most VFM motorcycles one can buy under Rs 2 lakh (Ex-sh)
      If there is one Indian 2W manufacturer who is on the verge of revamping its premium vehicle portfolio, it has to be Hero MotoCorp. The company is spending a lot of its R&D to rejuvenate its premium lineup. One of the most interesting examples of this strategy is the Karizma 210 Pro showcased at EICMA.
      2025 Hero Karizma 210 Pro
      While the company has not confirmed the name Karizma XMR 210 Pro, it is befitting to this product, considering Hero’s strategies. For starters, Hero MotoCorp offers a Pro variant of Xpulse with upgraded suspension and the same might soon launch with Karizma XMR 210 as well.

      Unlike Xpulse 200 Pro which gets fully adjustable (compression and rebound front, rebound and preload rear) long travel suspension for better off-roading capability, Karizma XMR 210 Pro packs USD telescopic front forks for better handling and cornering capabilities.
      These USD front forks are finished in a lovely shade of Gold, highlighting the premium quotient further. When it was launched, Karizma XMR 210 lacked a couple of attributes to make it a complete motorcycle. One of them was USD telescopic front forks, which was a glaring omission on a Supersports machine.

      Now, Hero MotoCorp is set to fix this with the launch of a new variant for Karizma XMR 210 that offers USD telescopic front forks. Equipped with these superior suspension components, Karizma XMR 210 will get enhanced handling and corner-carving capabilities and might set a new benchmark in the value-for-money quotient.
      What else is new?
      There is another major addition with Hero Karizma XMR 210 Pro and that is a TFT instrument cluster with dedicated switchgear that will replace the current LCD unit seen with standard model. It is a slight head-scratcher as the just-unveiled and higher-tier Karizma XMR 250 still gets an LCD unit while the Xtreme 250R and Xpulse 210 get TFT unit.

      These details might change when these motorcycles reach production phase in India. Hopefully we could see the more premium TFT cluster on all of the recently showcased offerings. Other than these changes, Karizma XMR 210 Pro will remain the same and position itself above Standard Karizma XMR 210 and Karizma XMR 250.
      It will continue to offer an excellent package including a 210cc liquid-cooled DOHC 4V engine that kicks out 25.5 PS of peak power and 20.4 Nm of peak torque, a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, dual-channel ABS, Bluetooth connectivity with navigation, automatic headlights, adjustable windscreen and more.
