Hero HF Deluxe Latest Updates

Hero MotoCorp announces a price hike of select bikes and scooters from April 1. Here’s why.

The HF Deluxe is one of the most affordable bikes from Hero MotoCorp in India. It looks more modern than the Hero Splendor while being substantially less expensive than the Splendor Plus.

Hero HF Deluxe Engine

The Hero HF Deluxe produces 8.02PS at 8000rpm and 8.05Nm at 6000rpm. In comparison, the BS4 Hero HF Deluxe produces 0.34PS less at the same rpm. Interestingly, the peak torque is the same as the BS6 model but it arrives 1000rpm earlier. The engine works in conjunction with a 4-speed transmission. The 110cc bike is built on a double-cradle frame with a telescopic front fork and twin rear shock absorbers. Brakes include 130mm drum with a combined braking system and the alloy wheels. The motorcycle tips the scales at 110kg for the kick-start variant and 112kg for the self-start model.

Hero HF Deluxe Variants

As the name suggests, the base kick start variant does not come with an electric starter feature unlike the self start variant. The Self Start Black variant is essentially the same as the regular model with self start but comes in black colour. The range topping variant comes with the i3S feature that helps in extracting better mileage.

Hero HF Deluxe Design

The Hero HF Deluxe has always been a conservatively-styled bike. It does look slightly better than the long-in-the-tooth Hero Splendor, especially because of the flashy graphics. The bikini fairing is complemented by a conventionally designed fuel tank with a handy toolbox located below. The long single-piece seat is amply cushioned and the motorcycle gets a single-piece grab rail for the pillion.

Hero HF Deluxe Features

The top-end variant of the Hero HF Deluxe comes with an idle Stop Start System, which shuts off the motor when it is idling for a while in traffic. The engine comes back to life once the clutch lever is pulled. This feature can also be turned off via a switch on the right side of the handlebar. The motorcycle comes with an analogue instrument cluster with a speedometer, odometer and fuel gauge, and a halogen headlight.

Hero HF Deluxe Competitors

The Hero HF Deluxe rivals the Bajaj CT 110X, TVS Sport and the Honda CD 110 Dream.
