Hero unveils updated HF-Deluxe, HF-Deluxe Eco and HF-Dawn in India

Team OD Published: October 10, 2013, 04:15 PM IST

Besides its star products such as the new Splendor iSmart and Karizma, Hero's blitzkrieg of unveils in India on Thursday includes the HF-Deluxe, HF-Dawn and HF-Deluxe Eco. Both Deluxe and Dawn are iterations of the legendary Splendor but in a toned down form.

However, don't be mistaken by their demeanour. Hero has given the already fuel efficient Deluxe air foils on the leg guards and distinctly styled mirrors to aid better aerodynamics and thereby fuel efficiency. The Eco also has been provided with low rolling resistance tyres which help in "lowering air resistance at higher speeds". Other than that, it will have new stickers and clear lens indicators. The HF-Deluxe, in the meantime, also benefits from a sidestand indicator and clear lens winkers. The last two changes are spread across all the updated Hero products.

All these bikes still persist with the tried and tested 97.2cc single-cylinder 4-stroke engine which makes 7.8PS of power. All the bikes mentioned here come with 130mm and 110mm drum brakes at the front and rear respectively.
