2016 Hero MotoCorp Hunk Facelift Spotted Testing

The leading two-wheeler manufacturer in India- Hero MotoCorp is not performing that well in the 150cc segment. Even after updating one of its most popular models- Xtreme, sales of the company in the respective segment is showing a decline. While the other manufacturer like Honda, Bajaj and Suzuki are showing tremendous growth in the segment with their new and exciting offerings. 

Now, Hero is going to open another card, hoping to change the game in its favour. The company is working to bring a facelift of the Hunk, which could be launched during this festive season to score better in the market. A fully covered test mule of the bike has been spotted testing recently, having some minor cosmetic updates.

Dimension wise, the 2016 Hero Hunk is looking almost similar to the existing model. However, we can expect an exciting new paint scheme and some minor tweaks on the new model. Mechanically, you can’t see any change in the bike and it will continue to use the similar suspension set-up, wheels, tyres and other equipment, which comes with it currently.

The new Hero Hunk could also share the returned 149.2cc ATFT engine with the new Xtreme Sports. The tweaked air-cooled, single-cylinder, OHC motor makes 15.6bhp of maximum power and a peak torque of 13.5Nm. This new update will make it a far better performer than most of its rivals like the Honda CB Unicorn 160.
