The most affordable Hero gets the highest price premium
Last month, Hero MotoCorp announced that its entire range of motorcycles and scooters will witness a price hike in July. The bikemaker stated that an average price hike of up to Rs 3,000 should help offset the growing inflation in the country. Hence, before you make a trip to the nearest dealership, have a look at these revised prices for July:

Hero has managed to keep the price for its scooters and most commuters in check by capping the maximum hike under Rs 3,000. That said, the Hero HF100 is widely considered as one of the most affordable motorcycles in the country. However, the current hike has made it almost Rs 4,000 more expensive, reducing its value-for-money proposition considerably. Lastly, more premium models like the XPulse and Xtreme too are seeing a considerable hike in the asking price.
