Hero Passion+ gets a front disc brake variant as part of improving its overall safety while digital console, Bluetooth alerts, LED projector headlamp and i3S tech are also present
Hero MotoCorp has announced the launch of the Passion+ Disc variant in India at Rs. 84,128 (ex-showroom Delhi). The new version sits above the drum brake variant and adds a front disc brake, extra equipment and four dual-tone colour choices. The main mechanical change is the front disc brake setup with the motorcycle getting a 240 mm unit.
The rear continues with a 130 mm drum brake complemented by the IBS (Integrated Braking System). It is worth noting that the standard Passion+ drum variant has 130 mm brakes at both ends. Hero has also revised the equipment list for this variant. The Passion+ Disc gets a fully digital instrument console with real-time mileage readout, low fuel warning and service reminder.
Bluetooth connectivity has also been added for call and SMS alerts. The feature list also comprises an LED projector headlamp, side-stand engine cut-off sensor, integrated USB charging port and a utility storage case. The new variant is available in Heavy Grey, Nexus Blue, Dark Industrial Grey and Pearl Red dual-tone shades in the domestic market.
The motorcycle retains the same 97.2 cc, air-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine. The motor kicks out 7.9 hp at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Fuel injection is also available while transmission duties are handled by a four-speed constant mesh gearbox. Hero has coupled the engine with i3S idle stop-start technology and it enables the company to claim a fuel efficiency figure of 71 kmpl.
The motorcycle also gets self-start with i3S and kick-start support. With no other changes, the Hero Passion+ continues to be built on a double cradle frame and suspension hardware composes telescopic front forks and twin-tube rear shock absorbers. It rides on alloy wheels with 80/100-18 tubeless tyres at the front and rear. The Passion+ measures 1,982 mm in length, 770 mm in width and 1,087 mm in height.
The wheelbase stands at 1,235 mm while ground clearance is listed at 168 mm. Seat height is measured at 790 mm with fuel tank capacity of 11 litres and kerb weight for the drum variant at 115 kg. The Passion+ Disc gives Hero another commuter option near the Rs. 85,000 mark and it could attract those looking for a safer option.
