For those who believe that a motorcycle should be simple, reliable, and easy on the wallet, Hero MotoCorp has quietly given its much-loved Hero HF 100 a thoughtful upgrade. The new version of this popular commuter bike is now OBD-2b-compliant, aligning it with the latest emission norms without taking away the charm that has made it a household name across India.

Still One of the Most Affordable Bikes in the Country

Priced at just Rs. 60,118 (ex-showroom), the updated Hero HF 100 continues to be one of the most budget-friendly motorcycles on Indian roads. The price hike of Rs. 1,100 over the previous version is modest, especially when you consider that it now meets the latest environmental standards, making it not just easy on your pocket, but also kinder to the planet.

Same Trusted Performance, Now Cleaner

While the upgrade is primarily focused on making the engine cleaner and compliant with OBD-2B emission norms, Hero has wisely kept everything else just the way riders like it. Powering the bike is the same frugal 97.2cc BS6 engine, known for its excellent mileage and hassle-free ownership experience. It produces a decent 7.91 bhp and 8.05 Nm of torque, enough to keep your city rides smooth and efficient.

Weighing just 110kg, the Hero HF 100 remains incredibly light and agile, making it perfect for first-time riders, city commuters, and anyone who just wants a no-nonsense machine that gets the job done.

Simple Mechanics, Solid Build

The Hero HF 100 is intentionally minimalistic. It’s built around a sturdy tubular double cradle frame, offering strength without unnecessary bulk. The suspension setup is practical and comfortable, with telescopic forks at the front and two-step adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear.

It runs on 18-inch alloy wheels and uses drum brakes on both ends, supported by a combined braking system (CBS) that adds a layer of safety, especially helpful for newer riders or in busy traffic conditions.

Colours That Suit Every Mood

Hero hasn’t made any changes to the design or aesthetics of the HF 100, and honestly, there’s no need to fix what isn’t broken. The motorcycle continues to be available in two well-liked colour schemes: Red and Black and Blue and Black. Both options give the bike a neat, understated look that fits right into the daily hustle of Indian roads.

A Commuter That Still Makes Sense

The updated Hero HF 100 is proof that sometimes, less really is more. It’s not trying to be flashy or fast, it’s here to be dependable, fuel-efficient, and now more environmentally conscious. For college students, office-goers, and rural commuters alike, this bike remains a go-to choice that delivers day after day without fuss.
