2023 Hero HF Deluxe launched
Hero has updated its entry-level 100cc commuter, the HF Deluxe, and the bike now costs between ₹60,760 and ₹67,208.
For starters, the 2023 HF Deluxe now comes with tubeless tyres as standard on the self start and i3s (start/stop technology) equipped variants of the bike. A USB charger is also offered as an optional extra and the bike comes with a five-year warranty and five free services as standard.
Powering the Hero HF Deluxe is the air-cooled, 97cc, single-cylinder ‘Sloper’ mill that is rated for 8hp and 8.05Nm of torque. This long-serving engine is now OBD-2 compliant plus E20 ready and is mated to a 4-speed gearbox. The engine is nestled inside a basic double cradle frame, suspended by a simple telescopic fork and 2-step adjustable twin shock absorber setup. With its 9.6-litre tank fully brimmed, the HF Deluxe weighs 112kg.
The Hero HF Deluxe is available in three variants — drum kick cast, drum self cast and i3s drum self cast. Prices start at ₹60,760 and go up to ₹67,208 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Hero HF Deluxe will soon face off against the Honda Shine 100 (₹64,900, introductory, ex-showroom, Mumbai) and the Bajaj Platina 100 (₹67,475).

“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
