Hero HF Deluxe: Variants & Colours

Hero offers the HF Deluxe in four main variants—Base, Kick Start, Self-Start, and i3S. While the base variant is offered in a single Black and Accent colour scheme, the other variants are available in four additional dual-tone paint options: Black Grey Stripe, Sports Red Black, Black Nexus Blue, and Candy Blazing Red. Across the range, all variants feature alloy wheels as standard, with mechanical and feature upgrades depending on the variant tier.

Hero HF Deluxe: Mileage

The Hero HF Deluxe is known for its high fuel efficiency, with an ARAI-certified mileage figure of 70 kmpl. Real-world fuel economy may vary depending on road conditions and riding style. The inclusion of Hero’s i3S idle stop-start system on select variants enhances fuel savings by turning off the engine when idling in traffic.

Hero HF Deluxe: Specs & Features

The HF Deluxe is equipped with Hero’s xSens Programmed Fuel Injection system, a sensor-based fuel management setup designed to optimise combustion, throttle response, and efficiency. This system aims for smoother power delivery and improved cold starts.

Additional amenities include an all-weather electric start system, a side-stand engine cut-off, and a fall-safe engine kill feature. A USB charging port is offered as an optional accessory. While the motorcycle retains a basic analogu instrument cluster, its ergonomics are commuter-friendly, with a single-piece seat, upright handlebar position, and neutral footpeg placement.

Hero HF Deluxe: Engine & Performance

The HF Deluxe uses a 97.2 cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that is BS6-compliant and tuned for economy and reliability. It produces 7.91 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm. The engine is paired to a four-speed gearbox and is known for its low-end torque delivery, making it suitable for city riding and stop-go traffic conditions.

The bike rides on 18-inch alloy wheels with 130 mm drum brakes at both ends. Hero’s Integrated Braking System (IBS) is standard, helping to distribute braking force evenly for added safety. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic hydraulic forks up front and two spring-loaded hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear.
