Hero HF Deluxe

Hero MotoCorp has hiked prices for its motorcycles and scooters once again. Its most affordable bike now gets the most bump in premium. Checkout the latest prices for July here.

Hero HF Deluxe Price:

While the Hero HF 100 is available in a single variant, the Hero HF Deluxe BS6 comes in six. Prices for the HF Deluxe start from Rs 59,890 for the base kick-start spoke wheel variant. The self-start variant without i3S will set you back by Rs 64,020, whereas the same model in an all-black colour scheme is priced at Rs 64,820. The top-end variant with self start, alloy wheels, and i3S technology retails at Rs 65,520. On the other hand, the most affordable version, the Hero HF 100, is priced at Rs 55,450 (all prices, ex-showroom Delhi).

 
Hero HF Deluxe Features:

The Hero HF Deluxe has a fairly conventional design. It does look a bit more stylish than the Splendor but still the elements remain old school. There is no LED lighting on the bike or digital instrumentation. The analogue console has limited data on offer like a speedometer and a fuel gauge accompanied by a few tell tale lights. The more affordable Hero HF 100 comes in an all-black colour scheme with red and grey stickers and simpler blacked-out grab rails. This variant doesn’t get an electric starter either.
 
Hero HF Deluxe Engine:

The Hero HF Deluxe shares its 97.2cc motor with the Splendor Plus. In its BS6 avatar, this engine produces 8PS and 8.05Nm, which is 0.3PS lower than the BS4 iteration. Aside from fuel-injection and a chunky cat-con, there are no other updates to the motor. Hero claims that the engine is nine per cent more fuel-efficient. The 4-speed gearbox remains unchanged.
 
Hero HF Deluxe Suspension & Brakes:

There are no mechanical changes to report on the Hero HF Deluxe. The trusty double-cradle frame is suspended by a telescopic fork and two-step preload-adjustable twin shocks. It gets 130mm drum brakes on both ends.
 
Hero HF Deluxe Rivals:

The Hero HF Deluxe is one of India’s highest selling two-wheelers, managing to pip the Hero Splendor to the best selling two-wheeler crown on a few occasions. The Bajaj CT 100 and Bajaj Platina 100 remain the main rivals of the HF Deluxe and HF 100. For the same price though, you can get two-wheelers like the TVS XL100, TVS Scooty Pep Plus and the Bajaj Platina 110 H-Gear.
