The muscular Maestro, which will be sold alongside the Pleasure, is the second scooter from the stable of Hero MotoCorp. But can Hero find another bestseller in the Maestro?

The button-started Hero Maestro deploys a four-stroke, single-cylinder, 109cc engine with long-stroke cylinder dimensions (bore and stroke, 50mmx55.5mm). This air-cooled new-generation Honda engine is the same as the one used in the Activa, Aviator and Dio. It generates a peak power output of 8.04bhp at 7500rpm and offers a maximum torque of 0.92kgm at 5500rpm.

Convenience is assured with a CVT system taking care of the transmission. The Maestro smoothly pulls from rest with a vibe-free power delivery and hits 60kph in 10.51 seconds, and it can go on to reach a true top-speed of 87kph.
