Hero MotoCorp150cc ‘Impulse’ Dirt Bike Specifications, Images & Price

Hero Motorcrop, Upcoming Bikes | By Mohd Asrar | August 14, 2011 at 11:18 pm |

Hero Honda is now Hero MotoCorp and the company revealed its new identity at a mega event in London, UK. The new Hero MotoCorp logo was launched at London’s o2 arena. Along with the identity, Hero also launched a new 150cc bike – Impulse and an 110cc scooter – Maestro. These will be first products under the new brand.

The heartthrob of Indian cinema and youth icon Ranbir Kapoor unveiled the first-of-its-kind 150cc on-road-off-road motorcycle for the Indian market called “Impulse”, leading us to strongly suspect that it is nothing but a rebadged Honda NXR150 BROS which Honda sells in the Brazilian market. No positive nodding on the speculative price is there but we expect it to be priced somewhere between Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 65,000.

The launch of “Impulse” creates a new experience in the Indian biking industry. The dual purpose on-road-off-road bike adds to the excitement every young man wants. The feature-loaded bike takes the rider where his excitement wants him to go by giving him freedom from roads. “Impulse” is loaded with versatile features including nitrox-gas filled mono-shock rear suspension which ensures a smooth ride on roughest of terrains, high ground clearance with large dial front wheel with stud-type tread pattern tyres and large front disc brakes which lets the rider traverse any road or any stretch.

Additionally, “Impulse” also comes with solid knuckle guards, sporty high mount muffler, large and raised durable sporty fenders, straight pull spokes and motocross seat for the real off-road experience. Digital Combi meter with “Service Due” indicator, clock and digital vertical bar display fuel gauge adds to the overall style which is irresistible.

The specifications and prices of the above were not announced and the officials promise to do the same at the products’ official launch in India, expected to take place later this year. But since we know that the two halves, Hero and Honda, are still in an agreement where Honda is supposed to deliver technical aid till the year 2014. The specifications and shades are expected as below -

Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), one of the leaders in the small commercial vehicle segment in India, have recently launched their new Maxximo Plus mini truck. This new vehicle comes equipped with new Fuel Smart technology, permitting customers to opt for a choice between Power and Economy mode. In Power mode, Maxximo Plus is capable of 26 PS thereby delivering higher performance while in Economy mode, output is down to 17 PS while mileage is more enhanced at 21.9 kmpl. Apart from Fuel Smart technology, the new Maxximo Plus adds to the superior value proposition of its predecessor with a longer wheelbase and a stronger 7-leaf rear suspension, which imparts more sturdiness under heavy load & over rough roads. Critical to commercial vehicle ownership is the operating cost, per ton per kilometer; with the new Maxximo Plus the customer will potentially earn approximately 30% more, per year, over the competition. This is on account of superior mileage which lowers fuel cost, a lower maintenance cost and the ability to carry more load with faster turn-around time. The new Maxximo Plus also comes with a class-leading 2 year / 60,000 Km warranty, which provides greater peace-of-mind to the customer. Apart from these significant new advantages, the new Maxximo Plus retains the delight-features which give it the lead in Comfort, Style & Safety. The new Maxximo Plus will continue to be available in two attractive shades of Appy Red and Diamond White. Maxximo Plus with technologically advanced features comes with a 0.85 ton payload and carries a price tag of Rs. 3.46 lakh (BS3, Ex-showroom Bangalore) & Rs. 3.54 lakh (BS4, Ex-showroom Bangalore). The Maxximo is today considered to be the most technologically advanced vehicle in the segment and this is what will attract a fair share of buyers.
