      Hero Sales Breakup Aug 2024 – Splendor, Deluxe, Xtreme, Destini, Vida, Mavrick 440

      by

      Hero Mavrick 440Splendor and Deluxe motorcycles account for almost 80% of Hero’s total sales in Aug 2024 – Mavrick 440 sales declined to 170 units
      Hero MotoCorp displayed a moderate 2.38% year-on-year growth in domestic sales for August 2024, with a total of 4,91,367 units sold, compared to 4,79,929 units in August 2023. This growth came from a mix of positive performances by key models and significant dips in others.
      Splendor and HF Deluxe: The Backbone of Hero Sales
      As always, the Hero Splendor led the brand’s sales, accounting for a massive 61.65% of total units sold in August 2024. With a growth rate of 4.49%, it continues to be the go-to choice for the majority of Hero’s customer base. Close behind was the HF Deluxe, which saw a notable increase of 15.89% over last year, contributing 17.22% to the company’s sales. These two models remain the key drivers of Hero’s domestic market presence.

      Launched a few months ago, Xtreme 125R has quickly climbed up the ranks. In Aug 2024, it was at No 3 with sales of 27,668 units, contributing 5.63% to Hero’s total sales last month. Meanwhile, the Passion struggled with a significant 40.16% drop in year-on-year sales, despite contributing 4.63% to the overall numbers. The Glamour also faced challenges, witnessing an even larger decline of 48.84%, though it still held 3.27% of Hero’s total sales.
      Mixed Results for Scooters and Electric Models
      Hero’s Pleasure scooter remained steady, with a small year-on-year growth of 0.83%, showing continued interest in this segment. However, the Destini 125 saw a decline of 15.49%, which impacted its share, bringing it down to 2.04% of the total sales. Destini sales decline is likely because of the new version launched this month.

      In contrast, Hero’s electric offering, the Vida, experienced a phenomenal growth of 502.40%, signaling rising consumer interest in electric mobility solutions. This growth gave the Vida a 1.23% share in Hero’s total sales for August 2024. Hero Xoom scooter faced a 51.23% decline in sales, reflecting weaker demand in this category. Similarly, the Xpulse 200 also saw a significant decline of 25.14% year-on-year, contributing only 0.60% to total sales. The Xtreme 160/200 models suffered as well, with a sharp decline of 41.28%, indicating potential difficulties in the premium motorcycle segment. Karizma 210 and Mavrick 440 sales currently account for a smaller share (0.05% and 0.03%, respectively), while Maestro sales were 0.
      Month on Month Report
      Sales in July 2024 were at 3,37,299 units. This marked an impressive 45.68% increase in sales over Aug 20244. Splendor witnessed a remarkable month-on-month growth of 43.30%, with sales jumping by over 91,000 units compared to July. HF Deluxe followed closely, posting an even more impressive 81.45% growth. Hero Passion, saw an almost doubled month-on-month growth, recording a 99.70% increase in August 2024. Glamour also performed well with a 69.40% growth over July. Xtreme 125R maintained steady growth, rising by 7.07% month-on-month.
      On the scooter side, the Destini 125 saw a massive growth of 76.00%, reflecting a substantial jump in customer interest. Similarly, the electric Vida model recorded a 30.96% month-on-month increase, underlining the growing acceptance of electric mobility options among Hero customers. However, the Pleasure scooter faced a decline of 14.40%, indicating a potential shift in preferences towards other models in the lineup.
      In the premium segment, the Xoom scooter posted a solid month-on-month growth of 24.50%, while the Xpulse 200 adventure bike also saw a 16.13% rise in sales compared to July. The Xtreme 160/200 models recorded a modest growth of 9.76%. However, the Karizma 210 and Mavrick 440 faced declines of 51.23% and 36.80%, respectively, suggesting some challenges in the performance of these premium bikes. More

      Hero Xpulse 210 Spied Altitude Testing At Leh Ladakh – Launch Nearing?

      by

      Hero Xpulse 210 Spied

      Where off-roading bikes go, upcoming Hero Xpulse 210 will be the most affordable one by a large margin, with improved touring capabilities

      After successfully aligning itself with adventure motorsport, Hero MotoCorp aims to give some of that pedigree in their consumer offerings. Hero Xpulse is getting a major powertrain upgrade with Karizma XMR’s modern tech-loaded engine. Spy shots of Xpulse 210 test mules have been spotted in Leh Ladakh. Let’s take a look.

      Hero Xpulse 210 Spied

      The updated version of this adventure tourer will get a technologically advanced powertrain from Hero MotoCorp. Thus expanding the horizon of Xpulse platform’s capabilities. After a mid-life facelift launched last year, Hero is now offering a major powertrain upgrade to their beloved Xpulse 200.

      Hero Xpulse 210 Spied

      Thanks to automotive enthusiast Chaitanya Helwatkar, who spotted a couple of Xpulse 210 test mules near Khardung La, Leh. These test mules had support vehicles with them too. All of these motorcycles had camouflage on them, concealing their identity. However, the Xpulse’s silhouette is unmistakable.

      Similar to the previous spy shots, there are very few changes to Xpulse 210’s design. It will retain the same LED tail lights and the H-shaped LED headlight might be carried over too. We can see some added elements around fuel tank, which could be tank shrouds to increase aerodynamic efficiency and touring capabilities.

      What are the changes?

      While there has been no official word from Hero MotoCorp regarding these developments, but this upcoming Xpulse is packing Karizma XMR 210’s engine. This is a 210cc, DOHC 4V liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine making 25.15 bhp of peak power and 20.4 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

      This is the most high-tech powertrain Hero MotoCorp has ever created. On Xpulse, it will unlock vastly improved touring capabilities owing to increased performance and the added 6th gear. There might be improvements with refinement and everyday rideability along with off-road capability.

      Other notable additions expected with upcoming Hero Xpulse 210 are slip and assist clutch, dual-channel ABS along with a new TFT screen for instrumentation, similar to the one we saw on Karizma XMR 210. This unit will support Bluetooth connectivity with smartphone app and turn-by-turn navigation.
      Hero Xpulse 210 Spied

      Is this Xpulse 400?

      There is a tiny possibility of this being an Xpulse 400. To be more precise, Xpulse 440, based on the same platform as Hero and Harley’s Mavrick 440 and X440. Test mules of a larger Xpulse 440 have been spotted before. However, the ones spied recently are more likely to be that of Xpulse 210.

      Hardware setup of Xpulse 210 looks similar to current Xpulse 200’s. We can expect a Pro model too, with adjustable front and rear long-travel suspension along with knobby Maxxis off-road tyres. The 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheel setup might be retained as well. There will be a slight price hike owing to the tech-loaded powertrain. More

      Hero HF Dawn Spied Testing – The Next Big Thing In Commuter Motorcycles?

      by

      New Hero HF Dawn Spied TestingLooking close to production, Hero HF Dawn might be the most affordable motorcycle on sale in India when it is launched soon
      India is one of, if not, the largest 2W market on earth. Establishing dominance in this market is paramount. The best way to crack this market is to launch affordable commuters, which still forms the major chunk of sales. Hero has aced this genre and is taking the game to the next level with upcoming HF Dawn, which has been spotted testing recently.
      Hero HF Dawn Spotted Testing
      World’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, is the best-selling 2W brand in India. The company relies heavily on its 100cc portfolio with Splendor brand being the golden goose. Hero MotoCorp has been witnessing stiff competition from HMSI (Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India).
      Hero has regained market leadership last month in domestic market, but only by a small margin. To expand its market share, Hero intends to pull out the big guns in the form of HF Dawn, which was discontinued in May 2017 owing to poor sales. However, times are different today and Hero needs a more affordable 100cc offering.
      This is where the recently spied Hero HF Dawn comes into play. With less equipment and bodywork than every other Hero offering today, HF Dawn could very well be the most affordable Hero motorcycle and the most affordable motorcycle of any brand.
      Hero HF Dawn Pre 2017
      Currently, HF 100 is the most affordable offering from Hero MotoCorp and the upcoming HF Dawn will be positioned below that. Think, of a price point of around Rs 55,000 (Ex-sh), as opposed to HF 100’s Rs 59,018 (Ex-sh) pricing. We can see very basic componentry and equipment with HF Dawn.
      The larger headlight setup with a cowl on HF 100 will be replaced with a simpler round headlight. This round headlight looks better, if you ask me. There will be a simple analogue instrument cluster and elements like a tachometer and fuel meter might be absent. Electric self start will be a “feature” on this motorcycle.
      When will it launch?
      Wheels are alloys, similar to the one seen in HF 100. Braking is via drum units at both ends. Seat is long and rear is suspended by twin shock absorbers and front gets RSU telescopic forks. All the lighting will be via halogen bulbs.
      Hero HF 100
      An exact launch timeline from Hero MotoCorp is yet to be announced, but the test mule spied recently looked production-ready. It will bear the same 97.2cc single-cylinder air-cooled unit with around 8 bhp of peak power and 8 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 4-speed gearbox. This engine might not get i3S stop/start feature to keep pricing competitive.

      Hero Xoom 125R Spied Testing – Ntorq Rival Launch Soon?

      by

      Hero Xoom 125R SpiedRecently spied Hero Xoom 125R was showcased last year and looks like it is production-ready – Pricing might start around Rs 85K (Ex-sh)
      While we already have Xoom 110 on sale in India by Hero MotoCorp, the company is now expanding its sporty scooter portfolio with two new offerings. Called Xoom 125R and Xoom 160, these upcoming scooters were first showcased at EICMA in Milan, last year. Now, for the first time, Xoom 125R is spied testing in India. Let’s take a look.
      Hero Xoom 125R Spied Testing
      Late last year, Hero MotoCorp showcased two new sporty scooters under the Xoom range. While the larger Xoom 160 stole the show at EICMA, Xoom 125R was equally impressive. It boasts a much sharper design language than Xoom 110, still adhering to overall family genes and design DNA.
      Hero Xoom 125R Spied
      The recent spy shots show upcoming Xoom 125R from the rear. We can see a sporty scooter that is likely to make a bigger splash in the segment than Hero has ever managed to do. Genre-wise, Xoom 125R will rival the likes of TVS Ntorq 125, Suzuki Avenis 125, Honda Dio 125, Yamaha Ray ZR 125 and Aprilia SR 125.
      Interestingly, the rivalry is more suitable with Aprilia SR 125, as Ntorq 125, Avenis 125, Ray ZR 125 and Dio 125 still come equipped with 12-inch wheels or smaller. Xoom 125R is confirmed to get large 14-inch wheels, setting it apart in the crowd. We can see a significant overhaul in design and edginess over Xoom 110.
      Hero Xoom 125R
      Hero MotoCorp has played well with colours and finishes on Xoom 125R and it visually positions it above Xoom 110, being more premium. We can see LED projector headlights with a striking LED DRL signature. Rear LED tail lights are in split design and Hero is offering LED turn indicators at both ends.
      Rider ergonomics is likely to be more upright than rival scooters, suiting taller riders. Overall size lends a feeling of riding something much larger than a 125cc scooter. Practicality is improved with a larger floorboard, twin gloveboxes with USB charger, large under-seat storage with LED light and a large and accommodating seat.
      Hero Xoom 125 Unveiled
      What to expect?
      A few key specs of upcoming Hero Xoom 125R have been revealed. For starters, it will get the same 125cc engine as the new Destini 125 we just reviewed. Performance metrics are slightly different as Xoom 125R will generate 9.4 bhp of peak power at 7,500 RPM and 10.16 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 RPM.
      Instrumentation is fully digital and is similar to the one we saw in Xpulse and other Hero motorcycles. Bluetooth connectivity and notification alerts will be part of the package, along with turn-by-turn navigation. Another notable aspect is that Xoom 125R weighs 120 kg, while Ray ZR 125 weighs under 100 kg.

      New Hero Destini 125 First-Ride Review – Head Over Heart Decision!

      by

      New Hero Destini 125 First-Ride ReviewThe new Hero Destini 125 is better equipped to take on rivals like Yamaha Fascino, Honda Activa 125, TVS Jupiter 125 and Suzuki Access
      After dominating the motorcycle market for a very long time, Hero MotoCorp is taking greater strides in scooter market. The company has a phase-wise plan to launch more premium scooters in the future. But for mainstream scooter buyers, Hero has unveiled the new Destini 125, which will directly take on 125cc offerings from Honda, Suzuki, TVS and Yamaha.
      We have ridden the new Destini 125 around Goa, where Hero MotoCorp arranged a media ride event. After riding it in the city, winding hilly roads, narrow highways and other conditions along with experiencing all the perks and misses, here is what we think about the new Hero Destini 125.
      [embedded content]
      New Hero Destini 125 First-Ride Review
      First impressions of the new Hero Destini 125 were positive if we take the broader scheme of things. If Hero MotoCorp wants to increase its market share in India’s scooter segment, new Destini 125 is likely to play a crucial role. We say this because Hero might establish an attractive price point, drawing more customers in.
      For context, Hero Destini Prime (previous gen) is the most affordable 125cc scooter in India by quite some margin. We expect a similar strategy with new Destini 125 as well. Add to it, all the new design elements and features, Hero Destini 125 might expand Hero’s market share in India’s highly competitive scooter segment.
      New Hero Destini 125 First-Ride Review
      There are 5 colours on offer, depending on the variant – Eternal White, Regal Black, Majestique Magenta, Cosmic Blue and Groovy Red. Hero MotorCorp assigned us Majestique Magenta colour. It does stand out from usual colours, owing to its radiant appeal. If you ask me, Regal Black looks the best, especially with the copper chrome elements. Speaking of, only Eternal White and Regal Black get copper chrome.
      The new design Hero is going for, leans towards making it a neo-retro offering. We say this because of the way new Destini 125 looks from the side and the way headlight housing and front apron have been carved. With this radical new styling, there is a sense of newness, which buyers in this segment might appreciate.
      New Hero Destini 125 First-Ride Review
      New elements
      There is a new LED headlight setup with H-shaped LED DRL signature. This is a projector headlight setup, which is first-in-segment and should offer excellent visibility. Hero claims that this new headlight is 3X better than what it used to offer before. Interestingly, the projector inside headlight housing is for the high beam, while low beam is taken care of by a reflector setup.
      Front apron gets an H-shaped design appeal too and integrates chrome elements and turn indicators in an interesting way. Front fender is metallic and so are the large side body panels. Hero has tastefully integrated chrome elements in ORVMs, front apron, near floorboard, badges and the rear for some visual bling. Personally, this chrome bling takes the overall appeal of this scooter a little on the feminine side.
      New Hero Destini 125 First-Ride Review
      The seat is long and top-spec ZX+ trim gets a dual-tone seat cover too. There is a neatly integrated pillion back support, which a lot of users will appreciate. From the rear, I felt like design is a tad convoluting and busy, especially with its split appeal for tail light and turn indicators. Instead, the company could have easily integrated turn indicators near or inside the LED tail lights. Alloy wheels are new and they get a dual-tone finish, for a stylish appearance.
      Notably, turn indicators are still halogen, for cost-effectiveness, whereas tail lights are LEDs with an H-shape signature. Another interesting aspect of new Destini 125 is the easy maintenance. We found the oil level dipstick to be conveniently accessible and so was the air box. I am an automobile engineer and I appreciate what Hero MotoCorp has done here. If I owned this machine, I would tend to do the periodic oil changes by myself, establishing a stronger connection with my machine.
      New Hero Destini 125 Maintenance
      Practicality, Features and Ergonomics
      New Hero Destini 125 has a large under-seat storage and it even accommodated my full-size track-spec XL-sized helmet. But I couldn’t close the seat while doing so. But it went in, which I can’t say about scooters in this segment. Half-faced helmets should not be an issue at all. For convenience, there is an LED light here.
      Floorboard is large and flat, allowing you to carry some larger items. There is a strong hook near the floorboard to hang stuff. Behind the front apron, Destini 125 has a glove box where we can stash a 500ml water bottle along with a smartphone. This is also convenient, as the USB Type-A charging port is very close to this glovebox.
      New Hero Destini 125 Storage
      Key is a regular type and it unlocks the boot and fuel filler cap along with ignition at the same place. Speaking of fuel filler caps, it is an external type with Hero MotoCorp’s Destini 125 for that added convenience. The rear pillion backrest also doubles up as a grab rail as well. Hero has improved switchgear on the new Destini 125 and they look very fancy and operate well. Some of these switches are backlit as well.
      I am a 6’ tall individual (182 cm) and I found the rider’s triangle to be neutral and comfortable. After riding the scooter around Goa, I didn’t find any fatigue in my shoulders and back. Nor did I find any weird quirks about the overall seating position. Even sitting on the pillion seat was a comfortable experience and the slight step in seat for pillion allows for a comfortable knee angle too.
      New Hero Destini 125 Switchgear
      Where features are concerned, new Hero Destini 125 gets a fully digital reverse-LCD instrument cluster. It was surprisingly legible even with my sunglasses on. It incorporates a crisp font and boasts Bluetooth connectivity with app support for the smartphone. What is appreciated, is the turn-by-turn navigation. There is self-cancelling winkers after 15 seconds, among other notable features.
      Powertrain and Riding Dynamics
      Hero Destini 125 continues to be powered by a 124.6cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that boasts best-in-segment (125cc family scooter) power figure of 9 bhp at 7,000 RPM and 10.4 Nm of torque at 5,500 RPM. This is a refined engine that promises 59 km/l of mileage (fuel efficiency) and is backed by a switchable i3S stop/start feature.
      New Hero Destini 125 Rider’s Triangle
      Where performance is concerned, new Hero Destini 125 offers decent acceleration and picks up pace in a respectable manner. Power delivery is not urged, which is perfectly fine for a practical 125cc family scooter. Destini 125 has 12-inch wheels at both ends and there is a fatter 100-section rear tyre now, for added stability.
      New Hero Destini 125 offers great stability and emerges as an agile and peppy scooter for daily use. While turning the scooter on corners, it offers decent confidence. Suspension is cushy and absorbs a great deal of road imperfections. It is not a corner carving track machine. But for intended audience, it is perfectly set up for comfort and practicality. The only fly in the ointment is the braking. Despite having a disc brake and Bybre calipers, new Destini 125 lacked stopping power.
      New Hero Destini 125 On Bad Roads
      Conclusion
      In the limited time we had with new Destini 125, the scooter impressed us a lot with just how friendly it is. The suspension and seat offers excellent comfort. Underseat storage and flat floorboard are very accommodating. The powertrain is smooth and Hero claims 59 km/l of mileage (fuel efficiency). Hero has worked on exceeding features expected in this segment. There is an easy maintenance approach as well.
      All these make the new Hero Destini 125 a head-over-heart decision. Something you would need, but not want to buy from your heart. We say this because the scooter is impressive, but not attractive enough to establish an emotional connect. Sure, design is subjective and there will be a large chunk of audience that will consider the new Destini 125 as pretty. Personally, I think Hero MotoCorp could have made the design more subtle to establish a more appealing first impression and make me want to buy this scooter.
      New Hero Destini 125 Rear
      While we were riding it around Goa, it did not garner any attention from the general consensus. I did not see a single person who gave this scooter a second look of admiration or stopped to take a picture. That just didn’t happen. We also think Hero should have offered sleeker LED turn indicators and a smart key for a keyless experience. While new Hero Destini 125 does not strike a stylish first impression, it impresses the users with its sheer sensibility and (expected) price-wise competitiveness. More

      Hero MavrickMajor e-commerce platforms like Flipkart and Amazon have been selling scooters and motorcycles with attractive bank offers and discounts
      Recently, Hero MotoCorp has been offering its portfolio on major e-commerce platforms like Flipkart. Being one of the most widely popular platforms, Flipkart’s portal is expected to boost sales and make vehicular purchases more seamless. One major benefit of vehicle purchases on Flipkart is that there are discounts on Hero bikes and scooters of up to Rs 21K. Hat tip to automotive enthusiast Ankit Sharma for sharing this update.
      Hero Bikes And Scooters Flipkart Discount
      Being a leading 2W manufacturer in India, Hero MotoCorp needs no introduction. It is a sales behemoth in India and has been at the top of its game for a very long time. The company’s advancements in e-commerce portals are commendable and has been maintaining a presence on Flipkart.
      Hero MotoCorp discount offers on Flipkart
      In most cases, automobiles are not considered an investment. Rather, they’re termed as depreciating assets. But what if you can save up to Rs 21K on your new Hero scooter and motorcycle? Tempting, isn’t it? The best part about this offer is that it is legit and has been out there for some time.
      Depending on the motorcycle or scooter, one can save up to Rs 21K on their purchase of Hero vehicle on Flipkart. This is enabled by profound discounts from Flipkart, coupled with bank offers on select credit and debit cards. More often than not, Flipkart Axis Bank cards usually get more discounts than others.
      Hero MotoCorp discount offers on Flipkart
      On Flipkart, Hero MotoCorp and a few other brands like Bajaj and Ola, have listed their vehicles. Hero has a major part of its portfolio on sale through Flipkart, unlike other brands. Among the Hero products, the price difference between online and offline ranged between Rs 3,014 and Rs 21,015.
      Hero Bikes and Scooters Discounts On Flipkart
      Which one has the highest discount?
      While budget commuters and ICE scooters had an effective discount of under Rs 7,500, the benefits increased with Hero’s premium portfolio and Vida electric scooters. Hero Xtreme 125R has discounts of up to Rs 8,550. Xpulse 200T has the lowest discount among the premium lineup at Rs 7,012.
      Other notable motorcycles with discounts were Hero Xtreme 160R 4V with Rs 10,016 discount, Xpulse 200 4V with Rs 13,661 off, Karizma XMR 210 with Rs 15,170 discount and we have the Mavrick 440 with Rs 19,450 off. Interestingly, Hero Vida V1 Pro has the highest discount of Rs 21,045, which is very tempting.
      The preconceived notion of buying a vehicle traditionally in a showroom after PDI is still strong among buyers. That could be a reason why many buyers don’t prefer online platforms for vehicular purchases. This trend could catch in the future and Bajaj recently took a greater stride by launching an Amazon exclusive variant of Chetak scooter.

      Note – Prices mentioned in the post are indicated prices on Flipkart’s landing page for motorcycles and scooters. Actual prices vary depending on variants and colours and offers and discounts of the time. More
