Hero MotoCorp has launched the updated 2025 Hero HF100 in India at Rs 60,118 (ex-showroom Delhi). The commuter bike is now compliant with the latest OBD-2B emission norms, and it gets a slight price increase of Rs 1,100 over the older model - which was priced at Rs 59,018 (ex-showroom Delhi).
Design
No changes have been done to the styling and the 2025 Hero HF100 looks the same as before. It has a simple and functional look, with a focus on practicality and reliability. The bike continues to get the same two colours as before: Red Black and Blue Black.
Engine
The 2025 HF100 continues with its tried-and-tested 97.2cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine - but it now complies with the latest OBD-2B emission norms. The engine produces 8.02PS at 8,000 rpm, 8.05Nm at 6,000 rpm (both same as before), and is mated to a four-speed gearbox. This motor is shared with the Splendor line-up, Passion Plus, and the HF Deluxe. It still gets a kick-starter along with the electric-start as standard.
Underpinnings
The Hero HF100 retains its telescopic fork and two-step adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers. It uses 130mm drum brakes on both ends with ‘IBS’ (Integrated Braking System) - Hero’s version of Combined Braking System (CBS). The bike rolls on 18-inch alloys with 2.75-inch wide tyres at both the front and rear. It weighs 110kg kerb, gets a 9.1-litre fuel tank, has an 805mm seat height, and 165mm of ground clearance.
Features
The HF100 is a no-frills commuter bike but still gets a few features like the engine-off on fall and the side-stand down engine cut-off. The lights are still Halogen all around though. The console comes with an analogue speedometer and a fuel gauge, along with other tell-tale lights.
BikeDekho Says
The 2025 Hero HF100 continues as a reliable and affordable commuter bike that rivals the likes of the Bajaj Platina 100, TVS Sport, and Honda Shine 100. The OBD-2B update may have raised the price slightly, but it isn’t high enough to make you think twice about purchasing the motorcycle. It is a solid choice for those looking for a no-nonsense petrol-powered bike with affordable running costs to handle their daily commutes.
Hero HF 100 User Reviews
- Smooth ride for budget guyEntry level bike, within city rides purpose and daily commuters up to thirty km. Budget friendly. I think there is no other option available in such pocket budget. Maintenance cost is also very low. Smooth ride so far although disc option not available in these entry level bikes, sometimes skidding fear takes place. For within city or up to thirty km daily ride, it is the cheapest option, fuel efficient. In short very good option. I am thinking of purchasing new bike for my younger brother who is doing college. I am already riding it. I will also recommend to my near n dear one's who are going to purchase any two wheeler in future.Read More3
- Sustainable Commute Vehicle for Humble PeopleAs a minimalist, one would look for an economic and sustainable mode of transport. After my experience of riding Hero HF100 for a couple of weeks ( about 210 kms) , I could narrow down to it, as it offers a minimalist design with great mileage of 50kmpl amidst busy roads of BKC - Andheri - Goregaon roads. For the investment in this bike, my expectations were very realistic. I felt that the handling is basic and easy with safety and comfort, especially when riding at speeds upto 50kmph. During the regular commute hours, the average vehicular speeds in Mumbai are in same range anyway. I would highly recommend this bike for a minimalistic person. This bike is for humble and grounded people. Perhaps, the people believing in social status or image may not appreciate this model as much. This bike is very special as it not only serves the purpose of safe regular commute for self, with friends and with family, but also provides the commuter easy ride with atleast 70% cost savings (compared to mixed mode transport using bus, metro and auto)Read More3
- Weekend Escapes, Just UsWe started going out at night after watching friends roam around the city. The bike felt light to move through small lanes, and we could stop anywhere. Late cafés, empty streets, and small parks became easy spots to visit without any stress. Riding around town felt smooth, especially on quiet evening roads. It fits well in narrow lanes, and parking was never a problem. We explored small food corners, tea spots, and random streets without thinking much. Every outing felt calm and easy. Great for relaxed evening trips around the city. We’d go out without planning and check new corners, small shops, and open spaces. The bike moves around town without trouble, making casual rides feel peaceful and fun every single time.Read More3 2
- Simple and ReliableI wanted a simple, low cost bike for my daily errands and short city rides. I noticed Hero HF 100 in one showroom. The salesman let me take a quick test ride around the neighborhood and I felt it would make navigating crowded streets effortless. Riding it daily has been surprisingly fun. I use it to go to the market, college and sometimes deliver parcels for a side gig. Even after hours of riding, I never feel fatigued and it starts instantly every morning. Last week a neighbor who saw me riding asked if I liked it. I told him about how easy it is to ride, handle and maintain. I know this bike is perfect to anyone who wants low maintenance bike for city commuting and everyone will enjoy after buying this bike.Read More2 3
- Perfect Starter BikeMy younger cousin wanted to learn riding and I needed something safe and easy for him. My friend suggesting Hero HF 100 to us. After a short test ride together on this i realized it would be perfect for him to gain confidence on the road so we bought it the same day. Riding together with my cousin has been surprisingly fun. We practiced in quiet streets and even tried a small local park path. Every ride boosted his confidence and made the learning process enjoyable. During our first ride to the neighborhood fair my cousin hesitated at a steep slope. The bike glided up effortlessly and his smile after reaching the top was priceless. Seeing that moment I can truly suggest Hero HF 100 to anyone who wants a bike that builds confidence while keeping rides simple.Read More3 1
