Hero HF100: What's New?
While the HF100's design remains familiar, the key update lies under the skin. The motorcycle's 97.2cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine is now fully compliant with the stringent OBD-2B norms. This ensures cleaner emissions without compromising on performance. The motor continues to produce 8.02PS at 8,000rpm and 8.05Nm of torque at 6,000rpm, paired to a 4-speed gearbox - the same powertrain seen on the updated Passion Plus and Splendor Plus.
Hero HF100: Safety and Features
Hero has equipped the HF100 with several essential safety features. It now offers an engine cut-off mechanism when the bike is tilted sharply (fall sensor) and when the side stand is down. Both systems provider rider a better safety, especially for daily commuters.
The instrument cluster is a no-nonsense analog setup that complements the bike's practical character. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks up front and twin hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear, promising a cushioned ride even over broken roads.
Braking performance is managed by 130mm drum brakes at both ends, supported by Hero's Integrated Braking System (IBS) for better stability during emergency stops.
Hero HF100: Design and Ergonomics
The HF100 continues to be offered in two striking colour options - Black with Blue graphics and Black with Red graphics. Ergonomically, it caters to a wide range of riders with an accessible seat height of 805mm, a ground clearance of 165mm, and a kerb weight of just 110kg, ensuring effortless handling in dense traffic conditions. The bike rolls on sturdy 18-inch alloy wheels shod with 2.75-inch wide tyres at both ends.
Fuel Efficiency
A major highlight of the HF100 remains its excellent fuel efficiency. The ARAI-certified mileage figure stands at an impressive 70kmpl, making it a highly economical choice for daily commutes. With a 9.1-litre fuel tank, the HF100 offers a substantial riding range between refuels.
