Hero MotoCorp bikes in India (26)
Trending Questions on Hero MotoCorp Bikes - Answered by Autocar Experts
Hey everyone, I am looking to buy a new bike to commute and for occasional rides. My commute is almost 60 km every day. I am confused whether I should get a 100-125cc commuter or go for the XSR, which really caught my eye. I am on a strict budget, so I would like to know your thoughts.
I’m 5′ 5″, aged 47. I owned a Splendor for 10 years and a Honda Twister for 10 years and sold both. For the past 8 years I have been riding a TVS Scooty. I am planning to buy a bike under ₹2 lakh. I prefer long rides over city commutes and plan to do a lot of interstate travel. My requirements are comfortable ergonomics that are easy on my spine, reliability, light weight, and decent mileage. Please suggest.
Consider your usage and budget, bikes like the TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will be options we recommend you take a look at. Both are smooth and comfortable machines with neutral riders' triangles, which will be conducive to long stints in the saddle.
You can even take a look at the Hero Xpulse 210 if you want a dual-purpose machine. It will be the most comfortable and capable of the three bikes we've suggested here.
However, it is also the tallest, so if you are a shorter rider who isn't comfortable with tall bikes, then this may not be the best bet for you.
Take a test ride of everything you shortlist before you make a decision.
Hello Team! I commute daily to the office, around 30km round trip. My route includes a few rough patches and disjoints on flyovers. I currently ride a Meteor 350, but I am struggling with it as the rear suspension is absolutely pathetic. I am not planning to sell it due to personal attachment. I am now looking for a second, lightweight motorcycle in the ₹1.5-2 lakh range, which will be my primary commuter and used occasionally for single-day rides. Smooth gearshifts are a priority, along with excellent suspension, as I have started experiencing back pain. I am 5 feet 10 inches tall and weigh 75kg. I shortlisted the Xpulse 210 but dropped it due to concerns around quality issues and tube tyres. I really like the RTX 300, but it is out of my budget. I also like the CB300F Flex Fuel, but have heard that the rear suspension is stiff. The same concern applies to the Gixxer twins and the RTR 200. So, please assist me. At the moment, I am confused between the Hero Xtreme 160R Combat Edition and the Pulsar N160. I really liked the overall feel and sound of the N160. The Hero sales and test ride experience was not great, although the bike itself felt good. I also like the TVS Ronin, but did not find it as comfortable as the other two. Please help me decide.
I am 37 yrs old, with a serious back pain issue from slipped discs. Due to my job compulsion i need to commute 70 kms daily (30 km highway, 40 km city)on bike. While my old Unicorn is doing okay, i want to get a bike which has the most comfortable ride with least jerking (keeping my back pain in mind). I had earlier found the bullet classic 350 and avenger 220 to be mildly comfortable rides. Budget is not a constraint.
If you want to stay in the same displacement range as your Unicorn, you can look at the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. Both have great suspension, peppy performance and will return similar fuel economy to your Unicorn.
If you want to make a step up, then bikes like the Royal Enfield Hunter / Bullet / Classic 350, TVS Ronin, and Honda CB350 trio will make for good commuting partners. These are bikes with upright, neutral ergonomics, plush suspension setups and torquey, smooth engines. Expect lower fuel economy in comparison to your Unicorn, however, by virtue of its larger displacement.
Lastly, the Hero Xpulse 210 is a wonderful do-it-all machine which will have the best suspension comfort of all the bikes listed here.
A test ride of all of these bikes will help you determine which one is best for you.
Hi. I am 42 years old and 6 feet 3 inches tall. We are a family of three. I have been riding an Access scooter for the last eight years and am now planning to buy a motorcycle. Please suggest a bike suitable for my height. I am considering options like the Suzuki V-Strom, Xpulse, Honda NX200, Hero Xtreme 160, and RTX 300. I do not ride on highways much, except for occasional office trips. I am also looking for good mileage.
I have been using a Hero Passion Plus for the last 19 years, and it is still in excellent condition. I recently purchased a Hero Xpulse 210 and intend to keep it for as long as possible. Could you please share some maintenance tips to keep the bike in good condition?
My average monthly distance is 400 km and I stay in a hilly area. I’m thinking of buying a bike with a budget of around ₹2–2.5 lakh. I need something with enough power to handle the ghats, good pillion comfort, suitable for long journeys, and capable in the rains. Thanks.
Considering your requirements, bikes such as the TVS Ronin, Honda CB300F, CB350 trio, Royal Enfield 350s, and Hero Xpulse 210 will serve you well. All are reasonably powerful bikes that can handle the weight of two-up riding and keep your passenger comfortable.
A test ride of all these machines with your preferred passenger will help you make an informed decision.
I am confused between the Honda Hornet 125 and the Hero Xtreme 125. My daily commute is 25-30 km, and my budget is ₹1.50 lakh. Please help me decide.
Both the bikes you are considering are some of the best machines in their class. So you're already starting from a very good point; therefore, here on out, it will depend on which bike fits you better as per your physique and has the features and look you prefer more.
The Honda CB125 Hornet has some unique features like the golden USD fork, a crisp TFT display and excellent fuel economy. However, it can feel a little tight for larger riders, so depending on your height, it may not be the best option for you.
The Hero Xtreme 125R is the only bike in the class to offer you dual-channel ABS on select variants. Also, it is a little more affordable than the Honda bike, so if those things matter to you, then this makes for a better purchase.
A test ride of both will help you decide which is better for you.
I want to buy a bike mainly for city use (around 90%). My budget is under ₹3 lakh. I am looking for a good-looking bike with a comfortable suspension. Please advise.
Hi team, I'm 5′9″ and well built. I need a bike for my daily city commute of about 30 km, and I want it to be not above 350 cc. I am a sedate driver. Please suggest.
Since most of your usage is inside the city, bikes like the Hero Xpulse 210, Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic / Hunter 350, Honda CB350 trio and the TVS Ronin will make for good options to consider depending on your preference.
If you do want something a touch sportier but not very rambunctious, then the KTM 250 Duke also makes for a great companion.
A test ride of everything you decide to shortlist will help you make a decision.
