    The motorcycle undercuts the base variant of the Hero HF Deluxe by Rs 1,300

    • The Hero HF 100 comes with a simpler black colour scheme and no electric start.
    • Compared to the HF Deluxe, this bike packs a different rear suspension.
    • Packs the same 97.2cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine as the HF Deluxe.

    Hero MotoCorp has launched the new Hero HF 100 at Rs 49,400 (ex-showroom Delhi), making it the most affordable Hero bike in the country. It undercuts the base kick-start and spoke-wheel-equipped variant of the Hero HF Deluxe by Rs 1,300. 

    That said, this motorcycle packs proper alloy wheels with rugged tubeless tyres. It does not get electric start even as an option and the rear suspension appears to be different compared to the one in the Hero HF Deluxe. Instead of a chunky silver grab rail, the HF 100 comes with a simpler blacked-out tubular unit. This motorcycle looks no-nonsense thanks to the all-black colour scheme with grey and red sticker work. 

    All said and done, it still carries all the other important bits from its more premium sibling. The powertrain is the same 97.2cc single-cylinder air-cooled fuel-injected motor churning out 8.36PS at 8000rpm and 8.05Nm at 5000rpm as the HF Deluxe. It is paired to a 4-speed transmission. 

    The front end employs a telescopic fork. Even though the rear twin shock absorbers appear to be different, they offer the same 2-step preload adjustability as the HF Deluxe. The 130mm drum brakes at both ends have been carried over as well. It gets a 9.1-litre fuel tank, 0.5-litre smaller than the one on the HF Deluxe. The bike also weighs 1kg more, at 110kg kerb. That said, it still retains the same 805mm tall seat and 165mm ground clearance.

    The recent price hike has made Hero MotorCorp’s entire lineup dearer, so introducing a sub-Rs 50,000 bike is a sound move, if you ask us. It will be able to compete better with Bajaj Auto, which offers the most affordable 100cc bike in India, the Bajaj CT100, at Rs 49,152 (ex-showroom Delhi).

      Good option for daily uses
      It's a good bike for those who use bike on daily basis and it is money saver, gives good mileage in local streets and best average upto 70 kilometers per litre on highway under 70 kilometers per hour speed. If you ride on highway with this bike then it is a best option for the middle class family person and save his money and time after using this bike. All the feature of this bike is satisfactory in compare to a normal bike. Good bike for local riding and maintenance of the bike is too less. I'm using this hf deluxe bike since 2018 and gave me positive response and result is not bad for me and persons who are in my average category person.

      City ride with Hf deluxe
      I chose the HF Deluxe because it is known for reliability, low maintenance cost, and excellent fuel efficiency, which suits daily commuting needs. Being a product from Hero MotoCorp, it also gives confidence in terms of service network and resale value. The ride so far has been quite smooth and comfortable for city use. The seat is well cushioned and the suspension handles rough roads decently. Mileage is a strong point easily giving around 65 to 70 km per litre which makes it very economical. The bike is lightweight so handling is easy especially in traffic, However speed and power are limited it is not built for aggressive riding On highways it performs okay at moderate speeds 50 to 70 km per hour but feels slightly underpowered if you try to push beyond that. Yes I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone looking for a budget friendly low maintenance daily commuter especially for city rides rather than long highway touring and for office use daily updow

      Basic Features
      I have been riding my Hero HF Deluxe (2012 Model) for over 13 years now. Even after so much time, the engine is still very reliable and the maintenance cost is extremely low. It is the best bike for daily rough use and still provides great fuel efficiency. Pros:Excellent Mileage: Even after 13 years, it gives amazing mileage on the road. Low Maintenance: Spare parts are cheap and easily available everywhere. Durability: The build quality is very strong; it handles rough roads easily.Engine: Hero's 100cc engine is still smooth and starts in one kick. Cons:Basic Features: It lacks modern features like a digital meter or disc brakes. High Speed: The bike vibrates a bit when crossing 60-70 kmph.
