Hero MotoCorp Passion+
The Hero Passion Plus is an entry-level commuter motorcycle that is well known among Indian buyers for its reliability, styling, fuel efficiency, and low running costs. First launched in 2003 as a refined version of the original Passion, it quickly became a popular choice, especially in rural and semi-urban markets. The Passion Plus bike was discontinued around early/mid 2020 due to the BS6 transition, but made a comeback in 2023 as the Passion Plus new model, with updated styling, improved features, and a BS6-compliant engine.
The Hero Passion Plus is powered by a 97.2cc air-cooled, single-cylinder, BS6-compliant (and updated to OBD-2B) engine. The engine of this Hero MotoCorp bike produces 7.91bhp of power at 8000 rpm and 8.05Nm of torque at 6000 rpm. In terms of ergonomics, the Passion Plus seat height is 790mm, allowing most riders to place their feet on the ground easily. It offers 168mm of ground clearance, so you can comfortably tackle speed breakers and uneven urban roads.
