Hero currently sells two motorcycles under the Passion brand: the Passion Pro and Passion Xtec. Now it appears that the Passion Plus will also be returning soon. In what appears to be a dealer event, the brand-new Passion Plus has been seen on display.

Hero Passion Plus Spotted
In comparison to the Splendour Plus, the Passion Plus had a slightly better appearance and was a popular commuter motorcycle. With a minimally revised design to make it look more appealing and modern, the new Passion Plus will appeal more customers. Regarding the design, it may receive a new headlamp cowl, pillion grabrail, tail lamp unit, new body graphics, flushed fuel tank top, and black-colored alloy wheels with contrast taping on the rims.
Alloy wheels, telescopic front forks, rear spring shock absorbers, a long single seat, drum brakes, and other components will still be included with the bike. To make the motorcycle more modern, the brand may also incorporate its i3S idle start stop technology and combined braking system (CBS).
Hero Passion Plus Engine
The 97.2cc engine found in the Splendour Plus is anticipated to be used in the new Passion Plus. The engine's output is 8.02 PS of power and a maximum torque of 8.05 Nm. A 4-speed gearbox will be available with this engine. Additionally, the new Passion Plus will have an OBD2 compliant engine and conform to the new BS6 Phase 2 standards.

Hero Passion Plus Launch
The debut of the new Passion Plus has not been announced by Hero Motocorp, but if the bike is making a comeback, it may happen in the upcoming months. When it debuts, the Passion Plus will face competition from other 100cc bikes on the Indian market, including the Bajaj Platina 100 and the TVS Radeon.
Verdict: Hero Passion Plus was a well-known product in the 100cc motorcycle market, and by reintroducing it, Hero would be able to attract even more buyers. The Passion Plus's reintroduction will be advantageous to the 100cc market. Its price will probably be in the range of Rs 75,000.
