New Hero minus Honda on capture..
Here’s the new product, not only a product but starting of a new range in domestic market.
Recently renamed Hero Motocorp (Hero Honda – Honda) has cleared up its intention by quickly stepping into new range of dual purpose motorcycles or dirt bikes suitable for both on-road and off-road fun which is good news for bike enthusiasts.
The bike was spotted several times while its testing, but now it has been announced officially by Hero Motocorp under the name of HERO IMPULSE along with the introduction of new Logo for the company..

It is supposed to feature a short stroke revvy mill of 150cc mated to 5 speed transmission while producing the peak power of 13.8ps which might not be the one which is powering the current range of HERO HONDAS. It is expected to bear a high ground clearance of 244mm and a 12litre fuel tank with a kerb weight of just about 120kg that means a nice crunch of power to weight ratio..
There isn’t any single word about pricing, but it’s obvious that if Hero Motocorp is first to take this risk of bringing totally new machine to India, they might be expecting a nice scoop from it.
Well, considering what experts say it may hover over the range of 1.2 to 1.3 lacs...

What snapshots reveal is its close resemblance to Honda’s NXR- Bros which is already vrooming on Brazilian roads. So if again it’s another Honda then where’s the HERO!!!

So far company has kept its fingers crossed over any peculiar details of it but surely this one is going to pave the roads for a new segment to burn the Indian tarmac.
