      Hero Splendor Modified Sports Edition Looks Dope – Render

      by

      2023 Hero Splendor Sports Edition – render by Kobeyo CustomsSplendor Sports Edition render by Kobeyo Customs is based on a Splendor+ with a 97.2cc engine generating 7.95 bhp and 8.05 Nm, mated to a 4-speed gearboxHero MotoCorp is renowned for its budget commuters. They are the undisputed champion and their biggest sales generator is Splendor. Hero never forayed into the sporty neo-retro Cafe Racer genre, except it did. But not in a way you would have liked, though. Because Hero based its cafe racer on Splendor Pro and named it Splendor Pro Classic.It didn’t sell as much as Hero would have liked. Kobeyo Customs has come up with their version of Hero Cafe Racer named Splendor Sports Edition based on Splendor+. We think this is what Splendor Pro Classic should have been from day one. Let’s take a look.Splendor Sports Edition RenderFor starters, Kobeyo Customs seem to be big fan of Triumph Motorcycles. That’s where most of the parts are cut and pasted on this Splendor Sports Edition render. Sticking with the end result, we should say that it looks very appealing, certainly for a Splendor+ on which it is based. New mono-tone colours without Hero’s infamous stickers would look even nicer.Kobeyo Customs has used Triumph Street Triple’s front USD telescopic forks, front and rear alloy wheels, stubby exhaust system along with handlebar. With them, Splendor Sports Edition render has a dual disc setup at the front, a boomerang-shaped aluminium swingarm, and fatter tyres. Splendor’s 100cc engine would definitely struggle to just pull these fat tyres.2023 Hero Splendor Sports Edition – render by Kobeyo CustomsBut as a concept rendered, it looks stunning. Kobeyo has lifted seats, rear subframe and tail right off a Triumph Scrambler and pasted it on their Splendor Sports Edition render. The split seats don’t have a step. Front headlight cowl is slightly elongated and lends a faux windscreen effect.Kobeyo re-touched some of the components like the fuel tank and some other body panels. All these combined, it looks like Splendor+ went through a breakup and hit the gym probably three times a day. This lends a perspective of a cafe racer from Hero MotoCorp based on its 160cc or even its new 210cc platform.Why did Hero’s first Cafe Racer fail?To Hero’s credit, the company didn’t just slap a rear seat cowl on Splendor Pro and call it a day. Instead, Hero gave it a round headlight, single-seat with backrest, round ORVMs, minimal body panels, a new subframe and a new tail. Instead of being the style statement for Splendor buyers, Splendor Pro Classic was an absolute disaster.For people in the market for a budget commuter, it lacked Splendor’s practicality. For people looking for an enthusiast cafe racer, Splendor Pro Classic was just a glorified 100cc Splendor. Hero discontinued it in 2017. Back when it was on sale, Splendor Pro Classic packed a 97cc engine generating 8.1 bhp of power and 8.07 Nm of torque, mated to a 4-speed gearbox.Disclaimer – Design renders presented in this blog are solely for illustrative purposes and have not been commissioned, approved, or endorsed by the manufacturer.

      New Hero Karizma ZMR Revealed Ahead Of Launch – Gets Sporty Stance

      by

      2023 Hero Karizma ZMRNew-gen Karizma will be one of the several new products that Hero MotoCorp will launch to establish a strong foothold in 200cc+ motorcycle segmentWith premium motorcycle segment expected to register strong growth in the coming years, Hero MotoCorp is working on a bunch of new products. Some of these will be developed entirely by Hero MotoCorp, whereas others will be part of a joint venture such as the Hero-Harley partnership.One of the new Hero bikes will be new-gen Karizma, expected to be launched soon. It will take on rivals such as Bajaj Pulsar 250, Gixxer 250 and Dominar 250. Hero will be looking at a competitive price point for new-gen Karizma to ensure its success. Ahead of launch, Hero has now showcased the new Hero Karizma ZMR to dealers.New-gen Karizma ZMR to get more powerful engineNew-gen Karizma ZMR will be utilizing an entirely new platform and a new 210cc liquid cooled motor. While specs have not been officially revealed, new-gen Karizma could deliver around 25 bhp of max power and 30 Nm of peak torque. It will be mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The original Karizma bike was equipped with a 223cc air-cooled motor that produced 20 hp. It was quite popular for its peppy performance. Enthusiasts can look forward to some more exciting rides with the new-gen version.Hero will position Karizma as a value-for-money bike. It has to achieve a balance in terms of its pricing and available features. While essentials such as disc brakes and at least single-channel ABS will be there, new-gen Hero Karizma could skip out on features such as USD forks, ride-by-wire tech, slipper clutch, etc.2023 Hero Karizma ZMRFeatures that are likely to be available with new-gen Karizma include Bluetooth-based connectivity features, LED lighting and turn-by-turn navigation. The bike could get a full-digital instrument cluster.New-gen Karizma stylingWhile new-gen Karizma will be utilizing contemporary design aesthetics, some of the styling bits are expected to be borrowed from the original Karizma. The latter had sharp panelling and sporty graphics. Another of Karizma’s USP was its comfortable riding stance. Balance and handling were among the best, allowing enthusiasts to experiment to their heart’s content. New-gen Karizma is expected to have a similar set of attributes.Resurrecting Karizma seems like a good move, as the brand has high recall among enthusiasts. Overall design of new-gen Karizma will be a key factor in determining whether it’s a hit or flop with customers. As of now, Hero’s bestselling product in performance segment is XPulse 200 4V. There’s Xtreme 200S as well, but it hasn’t received the kind of response the company was aiming for.In its lifecycle, original Karizma had eventually faded away with availability of better equipped bikes. Uninspiring design of later models such as Karizma R and ZMR was also a reason for its decline. Hopefully, new-gen Karizma will have everything sorted out and primed to provide the impetus Hero is looking to achieve in premium motorcycle segment.Source More

      2023 Hero Xpulse 200 4V Launch Price Rs 1.43 Lakh – New Features, Colours

      by

      2023 Hero Xpulse 200 4VAs opposed to its predecessor, 2023 Hero Xpulse 200 4V gets a new headlight design along with three riding modesHero MotoCorp has launched the updated 2023 Xpulse 200 4V. It is priced at Rs. 1.43 lakh for the base variant and Rs 1.51 lakh for the top PRO variant. All prices are ex-sh. Xpulse 200 4V PRO variant is nothing but the Rally Edition of earlier version.  Base variant gets Rs. 5,000 increment over its preceding model and this price seems worth what the newer model is packing in its belt. It is the only real ADV or off-roader motorcycle under 350cc space.With the new model, Hero MotoCorp is introducing new colourways. Hero has kept Matte Nexus Blue and Polestar Blue as is but inverted the colour schemes with Sports Red with its respective Black elements. Despite its displacement deficit, it locks horns with Royal Enfield Himalayan and Yezdi Adventure.2023 Hero Xpulse 200 4V2023 Hero Xpulse 200 4V – Finessing game enters MY2023Hero is known for finessing its off-roader with every iteration. BS6 transition brought in a much much-required refinement and throttle response. The 4V model took that refinement a notch above and added top-end performance, fuel efficiency, revised gearing, new sprockets, brighter headlights and relatively high-speed highway cruising ability.With MY2023, the company is offering a brand new headlight unit with an ‘H’ LED signature and there are two projectors for low beam. Even though it is a brand-new headlight unit for India, it resembles what Hero Motors offers on export models for markets like Turkey. Headlights were never Xpulse’s forte. With MY2023 update, Hero promises 235% better headlight than 4V’s, which was 15% brighter than 2V’s. Take a look at the detailed walkaround video below, credited to FTR Club channel.[embedded content]The updated switchgear, windscreen and sturdier knuckle guards are welcome additions too. Previously, knuckle guards were fixed from one side only and were considered flimsy. Now, Hero is offering better quality knuckle guards that get fixtures at both ends. Windscreen is 60 mm taller, protecting from wind blasts that much better.Along with that, Hero is offering three ABS modes namely Road, Off-Road and Rally. These modes alter the ABS intervention and are least intrusive in Rally Mode. Another neat addition is instant fuel efficiency reading. Dual-channel ABS and LED turn indicators would have been a welcome addition, but that isn’t the case.Ranjivjit Singh, Chief Growth Officer (CGO), Hero MotoCorp, said, “The introduction of the E20 and OBD-II compliant XPulse 200 4V is a strong reiteration of our focus on the premium segment, in a sustainable manner. The XPulse has rapidly become one of our most popular premium motorcycles among customers in India and across our global markets. This motorcycle caters to the new-age explorers who are equally conscious about making eco-friendly choices. Fulfilling their aspirations for adventure and offroad thrill, the new XPulse 200 4V aims to create a differentiated experience for the riders with significant advancements on all key fronts – performance, connectivity, technology, and styling.”2023 Hero Xpulse 200 4VComponentry remains unchangedHero has kept the engine unchanged. So, the same 199.6cc single-cylinder engine generates 19.1 bhp and 17.35 Nm of torque. 4V head and oil cooling are notable features. The weight is just 158 kg, making it friendlier in tricky terrains. Rear luggage rack now has provisions for adding saddle stays.Except for ABS modes, rest of the componentry remains unchanged. Base variant gets same long-travel (190 mm front and 170mm rear) conventional telescopic front and mono-shock rear suspension, 21” front and 18” rear wire-spoke wheels along with A/T tyres from Ceat. Ground clearance is 220mm stock. If this is not enough, buyers can buy the Hero Xpulse 200 PRO variant.This variant gets compression and rebound adjustable front suspension, rebound and preload adjustable rear suspension, even longer suspension travel (250mm front and 220mm rear), Maxxis knobby tyres, 270mm ground clearance and more. Hero is expanding its Xpulse lineup with a new 400cc to 450cc motorcycle soon. More

      Electric Scooter Refund – Ather, Ola, TVS, Hero To Repay Overcharged Customers

      by

      Ather Electric ScooterFAME II Policy and EV Manufacturers: India’s Auto Giants to refund EV Overcharges, Ola, TVS, Ather, and Hero Take Responsibility
      India’s FAME II policy was established to promote the adoption of electric vehicles in the country. Under the policy, eligible electric vehicles were provided with benefits and subsidies to incentivize the purchase and use of EVs.
      However, the policy set a limit on the retail price of electric two-wheelers that could qualify for these benefits. Two-wheelers priced above INR 1.50 lakh per unit were excluded from receiving these benefits to ensure that the programme’s benefits are targeted towards affordable EVs accessible to a larger section of society.
      Manufacturers, however, found ways to sidestep this caveat by selling electric scooters within the price range and selling necessary chargers and proprietary software separately. To address this, the Ministry of Heavy Industries stopped subsidies to all manufacturers that didn’t comply with the FAME II guidelines. In response, some EV manufacturers have taken corrective steps to repay customers who have been overcharged.
      Ola Electric, TVS Motor, Ather Energy, and Hero MotoCorp Set Example with Refunds
      Ola Electric has announced a refund of INR 130 crore to S1 Pro customers who purchased the vehicle before March 30, 2023. Similarly, TVS Motor has agreed to refund customers who paid more than the threshold limit set by FAME II. The total refund cost for the company is estimated to be less than INR 20 crore, and it will be paid to customers who bought the TVS iQube S model between May 2022 to March 2023. An ET AUTO report pegs the total refund amount at Rs 15.61 crore. This will be repaid to 87k customers. Hero MotoCorp will refund 1,100 Vida V1 Plus and V1 Pro customers who purchased the vehicle before March 2023.

      Official statement. pic.twitter.com/MKtMfGREMe
      — Ather Energy (@atherenergy) May 4, 2023

      Ather’s dues stand at INR 140 crore to be repaid to 95,000 customers who purchased the Ather 450x e2W until April 12, 2023. Additionally, a further recovery of INR 25 crore will be made from Ather on account of reduced battery capacity scooters for those who didn’t buy upgraded software. With these corrective steps, EV manufacturers aim to rebuild trust with their customers and promote the adoption of electric vehicles in India.

      Important Update. pic.twitter.com/G0GM46UApM
      — Ola Electric (@OlaElectric) May 4, 2023

      TVS Motor said – “TVS Motor is fully committed to the Government of India’s vision to promote electric mobility and fully support the Government of India’s initiative to enable faster adoption of electric mobility, development of electric vehicle eco-system and in spirit of Atmanirbhar Bharat, all the electric development has happened in house. Additionally, as a responsible corporate, TVS Motor has fully complied with all government regulations specified under FAME. Further towards alleviating ambiguity and ensuring a clear policy direction, TVS Motor will offer a goodwill benefit scheme for its customers who have paid over and above the threshold limit fixed by FAME. The overall cost impact to TVS Motor Company is less than 20 crores.”
      EV Manufacturers Take Corrective Steps to Repay Customers for Overcharging
      The refund announcements by EV manufacturers are significant steps towards promoting customer trust and transparency in the EV ecosystem. This move by manufacturers will help restore consumer confidence in the EV industry and encourage wider adoption of electric vehicles.
      The FAME II policy’s guidelines are designed to make EVs more accessible to a larger section of society by targeting benefits towards affordable electric two-wheelers. Manufacturers must comply with these guidelines to qualify for benefits and subsidies, which will further promote the adoption of EVs in India. The corrective measures taken by EV manufacturers also highlight the importance of regulatory oversight and enforcement to promote a fair and transparent market for EVs.

      Hero Vida Electric Scooter Price Cut – Starts At Rs 99,900

      by

      Hero Vida Electric Scooter Price CutVida price cut comes at a time when electric two-wheeler segment has reported negative MoM growth in April 2023
      To boost sales, leading electric scooter manufacturers like Ather and Ola Electric had recently launched affordable base-spec variants. It appears that OEMs are looking to achieve a starting price of under Rs 1 lakh. This has a significant impact on consumer perceptions and their decision making.
      Now, Hero MotoCorp seems to be following a similar strategy. Prices have been reduced by Rs 25k for Vida V1 Plus and Rs 20k for Vida V1 Pro. Prices of Vida scooters will be even lower at locations that still have state subsidy.
      Hero Vida new prices – April 2023
      Earlier, Vida prices were quite high at Rs 1.45 lakh for V1 Plus and Rs 1.59 lakh for V1 Pro. Hero MotoCorp has now implemented a new pricing policy that will be applicable pan-India. The new effective price of Vida V1 Plus is Rs 1,19,900 whereas Vida V1 Pro will retail at Rs 1,39,900. This is an effective price, which includes FAME II subsidy and portable charger. Hero says that the new prices will make Vida more accessible to the masses. It will also help speed up adoption of electric scooters.
      Some states continue to offer state-level subsidies for EVs. Consumers in these states can get the Vida at an even lower price. For Example, people in Ahmedabad can get Vida V1 Plus at Rs 99,900 and Vida V1 Pro at Rs 1,19,900. Similarly, prices will vary based on state level subsidy. Other states that continue to offer state subsidies include Rajasthan and New Delhi.
      First Hero Vida Electric Scooter Experience Center
      Vida to increase presence across 100 cities
      Hero MotoCorp is working on a mega expansion plan, which will help boost sales. As of now, Vida is available in Bengaluru, Delhi and Jaipur. The company has also started expansion plans in eight new cities – Pune, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Nasik, Hyderabad, Chennai, Calicut and Kochi. By end of CY2023, Hero has plans to make Vida available in 100 cities. The company should not have any major challenges, as it already has a large network of dealerships.
      Hero currently operates experience centres for Vida in Bengaluru and Jaipur. In Delhi, the company has pop-up stores. Pre-bookings for Vida are now open in the eight new cities. Deliveries are expected to commence soon at these locations.
      Hero is also working to expand its charging network. As of now, there are around 300 charging station across Bengaluru, Delhi and Jaipur. Charging stations will soon be set up in new cities as well. The charging stations will be installed at prominent locations to ensure easy access to users. When using Vida’s fast charging network, users can refuel at 1.2 km per minute.
      Due to the earlier high pricing, Vida sales were fairly limited in comparison to rivals. With more affordable pricing and availability across 100+ cities, a surge in sales can be expected. Vida comes with removable batteries, which is another advantageous factor for the scooter. More

      Hero Passion XPro Spied During TVC Shoot – Is It For India?

      by

      Global offering Passion XPro spotted shooting commercial in IndiaHero Passion XPro on sale in Bangladesh is powered by a 109.15cc engine – Different from India-spec Passion’s 113.2cc engine
      A new Hero motorcycle has been spied in India, while it was out for a TVC shoot. It is a Hero Passion XPro. This motorcycle is on sale in a few global markets like Bangladesh. There, Hero offers two colours, Techno Blue and Sports Red. Base coat is grey and gets Blue or Red decals depending on its colour.
      The one spotted in India is in a Techno Blue shade. Hero offers Passion XPro the exact same front fascia of India-spec Passion XTEC. Even its ‘H’ shaped LED signature is identical too and lends a modern and techy appeal.
      Hero Passion XPro Spied
      Hero has offered extended tank shrouds. Design is sleek and slender, lending it an athletic appeal. At the rear, there is an all-new tail light which has no similarities with the Indian 110cc lineup. Hero’s proprietary XTEC suite with a fully digital instrument console and Bluetooth connectivity are notable elements.
      We can spot similar componentry between Hero’s 110cc lineup in India and recently spotted Hero Passion XPro. Except for its engine. Which is a 109.15cc unit, completely different from India-spec 113.2cc motor. The same 109.15cc engine was on offer on Passion XPro on sale in India, which didn’t make the BS6 P1 transition in 2020.
      Top – Passion XPro, Middle – Passion XPro Bangladesh-spec, Bottom – India-spec Passion Pro
      In the picture, we can see that the India-spec 113.2 cc engine (below) has a larger heat jacket and even looks more substantial and fuller than Passion XPro’s 109.15cc engine (above). The recently spotted Passion XPro in India is equipped with the older 109.15cc engine which didn’t make the BS6 P1 transition and not the BS6 P2-compliant 113.2cc engine.
      Hero Passion XPro spied in India during TVC shoot
      Also, Hero offers older engines in a few markets. For example, Hero still makes a 150cc Hunk and exports it with an identical engine we used to get close to a decade ago. It is likely that Hero MotoCorp is shooting an advert for Passion XPro in India to market it in another country. This is a common practice and many India-spec vehicles get their adverts shot elsewhere too.
      100cc Motorcycles rule the market
      Analysing the Indian budget commuter segment, most action lies in 100cc space. Hero’s own 110cc motorcycles don’t make as much buzz as their 100cc offerings. For example, Passion is exclusively (as of now) a brand for 110cc offerings in Hero’s lineup.
      In March 2023, Passion line sold just 4,640 units, while Splendor range accounted for 2,88,605 units (most of them 100cc) and 56,290 units of 100cc HF lineup. Even the 125cc Glamour line sold 8,512 units. As we recently saw with Passion Plus 100, Hero is actually diversifying its 100cc portfolio. Which is where all the action is currently lying. Even Honda recognised this and has launched Shine 100.

      2023 Hero Xtreme 200S 4V Spied In Yellow Colour – Launch Soon

      by

      Upon its launch, Hero Xtreme 200S 4V will be positioned against Bajaj Pulsar RS2002023 Hero Xtreme 200S 4V. Image – Automobile Tamilan
      Hero MotoCorp is currently working on developing a range of new and updated products. Over the last few days, multiple spy shots of new Hero motorcycles have been leaked online. Hero is working on launching new motorcycles in the commuter segment of 100cc as well as premium segment of above 150cc.
      In the 100cc segment, they are getting ready to launch new Passion Plus. In the above 150cc segment, they will launch updated Xtreme 160R with USD forks, Karizma 210, Xtreme 200S 4V, Xpulse 420cc, Xtreme 420cc, etc. Of these, it is the Xtreme 200S 4V that has now been spied undisguised at a dealer, ahead of launch.
      2023 Hero Xtreme 200S 4V Launch Soon
      Hat tip to Automobile Tamilan for the exclusive images. There is no change in design, except for a new colour. Currently, the Xtreme 200S 2V is offered in a choice of three colours – Pearl White, Panther Black and Sports Red. The new 2023 Hero Xtreme 200S 4V seen in spy shots here, is finished in a dual tone of Yellow with Black accents.
      Xtreme 200S is currently Hero’s only faired motorcycle. Karizma XMR 210 is under testing and is likely to be launched by the end of 2023. Hero Xtreme 200S doesn’t sell as much as Hero would have liked. To boost sales and desirability factor, Hero is soon going to offer it a 4V head. A 4V head will ensure a more lively performance. Something Xtreme 200S needs. Hero’s 4V head first debuted with Xpulse 200. Then it was made available with Xpulse 200T.
      2023 Hero Xtreme 200S 4V
      The current 200S is powered by a 199.6cc single-cylinder, a two-valve, oil-cooled motor that pushes out 17.8 bhp and 16.45 Nm of peak torque. The upcoming motorcycle will feature the same engine but with a 4-valve setup which will not only improve performance figures but also provide better fuel efficiency. This unit will continue to be paired with the same 5-speed gearbox. It is likely to deliver 18.8 bhp and 17.35 Nm in its new avatar.
      Hardware configurations of the bike will also be carried forward from the current bike. Suspension duties will also be handled by telescopic forks up front and a mono-shock at rear. Braking setup gets updated with new petal disc in the front as well as rear. Likely to be same brakes that we see in new Xpulse 200 4V.
      To Be Feature Loaded – Modern Tech, Bluetooth
      In terms of features, Xtreme 200S gets a fully digital instrument console that is enabled with Bluetooth connectivity. It also reads out a wide range of data from the gear position indicator, service reminders and more. Like the other new launches, Xtreme 200S 4V will also be offered with Hero Connect telematics which offers a long list of connected features.
      This system comes embedded with an e-SIM which can communicate with the cellular network to establish a link between the device and application. Some notable features offered under this system include Geo-fencing, real-time mileage alert, last parking location, in-built navigation to name a few. The location-based features will be powered by Google Maps.
      Hero Connect can also analyse riding behaviour and inform the user in case there are issues with their riding style. Users can set a speed limit and receive notification in case the limit is exceeded. Another key vehicle safety feature is a tow-away alert. Prices of 2023 Hero Xtreme 200S 4V are likely to be in the range of Rs 1.4 lakh to Rs 1.45 lakh, ex-sh. More
