Hero Bikes To Get New Engines From Next Year

It has been a couple of years since the joint venture between Hero MotoCrop and Honda Motor corporations was dissolved. But until now, the Indian two-wheeler major had been using the engines that were developed by Honda. This contract is expected to expire in 2014 and there was a huge question mark on what the company will do. During the times of the joint venture, Honda brought in all the research and development and technical strengths to the table. After the separation, the Indian company has started to invest in some research and development. The company has plans to set up a new R&D plant in Kukas, Rajasthan. The motor corporation is also consolidating its engineering position through collaborations. The company has already made some tie-ups with AVL Engineering (Austria based engine developer), EBR (Erik Buell Racing based on US) and Engines Engineering of Italy. In addition to tie-ups, the Delhi based Indian Motor Corporation has bought 49% stake in EBR.





Currently, Hero Splendor price in Mumbai Showrooms are quoted at around Rs. 45865 for the spoke model. There has been no news on how the new engines will affect the pricing of the different models. But we can expect a similar or lower price on the bikes fitted with new engines next year. Hero Splendor pictures are attractive and we can see new body graphics on the bike. We can also see the stylish head lights and the alloy wheels from the pictures. But the alloy wheels are available only in higher variants. The most impressive Hero Splendor Features that have worked for the two-wheelers are its affordable price tag and a solid body. The new engines are expected to add great fuel efficiency and engine performance to the bikes.

The three engines that have been developed now are 100 cc, 110 cc and 250cc. The 100 cc engine is a vertical engine and will be manufactured for export to Nigerian market. The 100 cc Honda engine is the most used engine in the line-up of commuter motor-cycles for now. According to Mr. Pawan Munjal, the MD and CEO of Hero Motor Corporation, the new 110 cc engine will be fitted in most of the mass commuter bikes including the highly successful Hero Splendor and Hero Passion. The new Karizma ZMR 250 model might be fitted with the new 250 cc engine. This two-wheeler is expected to be showcased in the 2014 Delhi Auto Expo. The new models of commuter bikes like Splendor and Passion with proprietary engines will be available in the showrooms in a year’s time, around the 2014 festive season. Hero has unveiled the Karizma ZMR features and here the review about features of bike.

Hero Splendor and Bajaj Discover Which is Better

It seems like the war between Bajaj Discover and Hero Splendor is like a never ending process as the most popular bike Splendor has regained the tag of highest selling bike in India by overtaking the sales of Discover. It was confirmed by the Mr. Anil Dua senior vice president sales and marketing at Hero Moto Corp limited and stated that the first 15 days sales in October have met their monthly targets. This proves that the bike is still a hot favorite for Indian bikers. When we just take a look at the first seven months sales of Splendor in fiscal year 2012-2013, it has achieved the margin of 3.41 million sales which is more than 50% compared to other 100cc bikes in India.  When it comes to the Bajaj Discover, it gained the upper hand in the market by achieving the highest number of sales in the month of September. However, the first seven months of this fiscal year reveals that Splendor is still the leader of the market.

If you are in confusion to choose one of these two bikes then first you need to make sure about your requirements. Both these bikes have their own specialties that can meet the requirements of individuals. Discover is known for its high performance, mileage and style whereas Splendor is known for its durability and performance. Moreover, both these 100cc bikes are coming with cutting edge technology that helps them to deliver an outstanding performance like no other bike. Hero Bikes have always been high in terms of technology. Even after they parted away from Honda, they are able to share the technology as per the agreement made between the two giants. Thus, one can expect that the quality of the new Hero Splendor would be impressive as always. When it comes to Bajaj bikes, they are designed and manufactured in India under the supervision of experts.

If we just compare the Hero Splendor price with the price of Bajaj Discover you will find that Splendor is an expensive bike. However, one should consider the quality and performance offered by the bike, which is unparallel. Of all 100cc bikes, Bajaj Discover price in india is considered to be the low as it is designed and produced locally. However, it has managed to gain the trust of Indian bikers with its exceptional performance, mileage efficiency and pricing that is offered by no other bike in India. If you are looking for a stylish, cost efficient and high performing bike then choosing Discover would be the right choice but if you are concerned about durability then Hero Splendor would be the perfect option.
