Indian two-wheeler major Hero MotoCorp has launched 15 new models and variants based upon its existing line-up with aesthetic and technological upgrades.
Hero’s Pleasure automatic scooter will now come with linked brakes, what Hero calls the Integrated Braking System (IBS). As seen on rival Honda’s Activa automatic scooter, this system applies brakes to the front and rear wheels simultaneously. Hero plans to introduce this braking system on all its automatic scooters in the future. The new Pleasure also comes with a mobile charging point, lockable glove box, a light for the underseat storage compartment, combination ignition lock and an indicator for an open seat and side stand.
Moving onto Hero’s commuter motorcycles, this two-wheeler specialist launches the Splendor iSmart. This new Splendor comes with a first-in-class fuel saving start-stop system which shuts the engine down while the bike is at standstill. Apart from this novel tech, the new Splendor gets refreshed styling which includes new body panels, graphic, paint schemes and restyled instruments. Hero’s new Splendor Pro, Super Splendor, HF Dawn and HF Deluxe will get new graphics, instruments and side stand indicator warning lights as well. Continued..
