Hero MotoCorp recently unveiled 3 New Hero Bikes for the Indian lineup. Keeping the focus exclusively on the commuter range, Hero Super Splendor was the first product out on the event. It was soon followed by Hero Passion Pro and Passion xPro.
3 New Hero Bikes Unveiled
All three of them are purely commuter friendly machines that focus on city riding in everyday traffic conditions. Fans were expecting the new Xtreme 200 or a 125cc scooter from the brand while they are still focusing on bigger numbers in terms of monthly sales through these products. Basically, all three are minor face-lifts with added features and new shades.
