Hero HF Deluxe BS6: Variants Explained
Which one is the best fit for you?
Which one is the best fit for you?
In January, the Hero HF Deluxe outsold the hugely popular Splendor, making it one of the most popular motorcycles in India at the moment. It was recently updated to BS6, with the variant list revised. So, how is each one different? And which one is best for you?
Self-Start, Drum Brake, Alloy Wheel - Fi
This is now the most affordable variant in the HF Deluxe lineup. The previous BS4 version was available with a spoke wheel variant but that has been done away with on the BS6 bike. As the name suggests, you get an electric starter, along with drum brakes and alloy wheels at both ends. This being a BS6-compliant engine, it now gets fuel-injection, but misses out on Hero’s i3S stop-start technology. This variant costs Rs 55,925.
Self-Start, Drum Brake, Alloy Wheel - Fi - i3S
Once again, things are fairly self-explanatory here. This variant gives you everything you get in the above version, plus an i3S stop-start system. As a result of this it’s priced at Rs 57,250, making it just about Rs 1,300 more expensive than the base variant. But considering that the i3S system will result in better fuel efficiency, you should be able to recover this cost over time while also being slightly kinder to the environment.
Self-Start, Drum Brake, Alloy Wheel - Fi - All Black
The All Black variant has been carried over from the BS4 bike as well. What it means is a more blacked-out paint scheme with some of the chrome bits and lighter colours making way for darker colours. It isn’t explicitly mentioned whether this version gets i3S or not, but going by the Rs 56,050 price and the trend seen on the BS4 bike, we think it gets the stop-start tech.

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 Read More
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.Read More
