The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • 71 kmpl mileage is genuinely among the best in the commuter segment
  • Real choice between drum and disc front brake depending on budget

Worth knowing

  • Very basic feature set, no digital console or connectivity
  • 97.2cc engine means genuinely modest performance for highway use

Source Notes / Discrepancies

Source Notes / Discrepancies Re-verified 12 Sep 2026. In Jun 2026 Hero added a Disc variant update with full digital instrument console, Bluetooth connectivity, LED projector headlamp, and side-stand engine cut-off, distinct from the still-halogen, semi-digital Drum and Million Edition variants, this project had not previously captured that split and it is now reflected above. Ex-showroom prices confirmed against BikeWale (Rs 79,534/80,332/83,943 for Drum/Million/Disc) which match this record, though BikeDekho quotes slightly higher figures (Rs 80,328/80,574/84,128) for the same three variants, both current as of Sep 2026, treated here as a source discrepancy rather than a price change. Sources: BikeWale, BikeDekho, Hero MotoCorp, GaadiKey. Colour names cross-checked from BikeWale on 1 Oct 2026 (8 shades across Drum/Million Edition/Disc variants, not separated by trim on that source). Hero's interactive colour picker and price widgets could not be reached during an automated check on 1 Oct 2026 (site rate-limited the request), so cutout photos and swatch hex codes could not be captured this run and are left blank.
