The scooter is available in both steel wheels and alloy wheel variants. The former costs Rs 54,800, whereas the latter will set you back by Rs 56,800. Both prices ex-showroom, Delhi. The alloy wheel variant gets chrome surround on the headlamp, chrome accents on the side panels and a chromed-out 3D logo. But apart from these changes, the scooter remains the same as the BS4 model. That means you get the same underpinnings: trailing link front suspension, single rear shock absorber, 10-inch wheels and 130mm drum on both ends with CBS.

The primary reason why you should buy the BS4 Hero Pleasure Plus is that it is more affordable than the BS6 model by Rs 6,300. It costs Rs 50,500 for the alloy wheel variant and Rs 48,500 for the steel wheel variant. Also, since it’s will soon be phased out once the BS6-emission norms kick in from April onwards, there will be a higher chance of certain dealers offering discounts to clear out the remaining stock.
