Hero MotoCorp has launched the HF Deluxe Pro, a new top-tier variant in its popular HF commuter motorcycle series, featuring significant upgrades and a price tag of Rs 73,550 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Stepping Up: What’s New with the HF Deluxe Pro?
The HF Deluxe Pro introduces several premium features that set it apart in the commuter segment. A standout addition is the segment-first LED headlamp, complete with a distinctive crown-shaped DRL (Daytime Running Light).
Riders will also appreciate the new digital speedometer, which now includes a low fuel indicator for added convenience. The bike also sports refreshed body graphics, giving it a modern and appealing look.
For improved fuel efficiency in city traffic, the Pro variant comes equipped with Hero’s i3S stop-start technology. This intelligent system automatically shuts off the engine when idle and restarts it seamlessly when the clutch is engaged.
Enhanced Comfort and Safety
Beyond the aesthetic and tech upgrades, the HF Deluxe Pro focuses on rider comfort and safety. It rides on 18-inch wheels fitted with tubeless tyres, a practical feature that reduces the hassle of punctures.
The rear suspension is pre-load adjustable, allowing riders to fine-tune it for a more comfortable ride depending on load and road conditions. Braking duties are handled by reliable drum brakes on both the front and rear wheels.
Under the Hood: Engine and Performance
Powering the new HF Deluxe Pro is a familiar and reliable engine. It uses the same 97.2cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder motor found in other popular Hero models like the Splendor and HF 100.
This engine is tuned to produce 7.9 horsepower at 8,000rpm and 8.05Nm of torque at 6,000rpm. It comes paired with a smooth 4-speed gearbox, designed for efficient urban commuting.
Price and Market Position
The Hero HF Deluxe Pro is priced at Rs 73,550 (ex-showroom, Delhi), making it the most premium offering in the HF range. This pricing positions it approximately Rs 2,282 higher than the standard HF Deluxe variant, which costs Rs 71,268.
In the highly competitive 100cc commuter segment, the HF Deluxe Pro directly competes with rivals such as the Honda Shine 100 DX. It aims to attract buyers looking for a dependable, fuel-efficient motorcycle with modern features and improved styling.
