New Achiever to be launched soon by Hero Honda

Hero MotoCorp has launched the updated model of its Achiever 150 with a price tag of Rs 61,800 for the drum brake variants and Rs 62,800 for the disc brake variant (ex-showroom, Delhi). The new Hero Achiever 150 gets new features, including i3S - Hero's patented idle Start-Stop System. This is the first 150cc bike in the country to get the automatic start/stop technology. The bike also gets a major cosmetic update, providing a sportier look to it as compared to the previous model. The design of the bike seems to be inspired by the Xtreme, especially the fuel tank. This makes the package a lot more attractive than before. 

Also, there is a special edition of the new Achiever 150 which celebrates the milestone of 70 million customers. This special edition model was the 70 millionth unit to roll off the production line and will be limited to just 70 units across India. It has a black and white paint scheme with tricolour graphics on the fuel tank. 

Powering the new Hero Achiever is the same 150cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine which also powers all other Hero bikes in this segment. However, the new i3S technology has reportedly made this motor more fuel-efficient. The engine has also been retuned for better performance and it now produces 13.6PS of power at 8,000rpm and a peak torque of 12.8Nm at 5,000rpm. 

The new Achiever 150 also gets a host of new updates like always-on headlamps, maintenance-free battery, tubeless tyres, side stand indicator and viscous air cleaner element for the air filter. The Achiever 150 was fully developed in-house at Hero’s Global Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT) in Jaipur. Global launch of this bike will take place in Argentina in Buenos Aires after the Dakar Rally.
