For buyers eyeing the popular HF 100, there’s an update. Hero MotoCorp has announced new prices, implementing marginally small hikes across its entire 100cc lineup, which includes the HF Deluxe and Passion Plus. This detailed list of adjustments is a standard industry response to cost pressures, but in my experience, the core value of these fuel-efficient commuters remains strong.
Staying on top of price changes is key when shopping. Hero MotoCorp has quietly raised the prices of its best-selling commuter motorcycles in India. This updated pricing affects popular models like the HF 100, HF Deluxe, Passion Plus, and Splendor Plus, with an increase of up to Rs 750.
While the company has not disclosed the reason behind this adjustment, it’s widely believed the move aims to balance rising production expenses. The good news is, given the modest scale of the hike, it’s unlikely to deter buyers or significantly impact demand for these incredibly fuel-efficient workhorses, which from my experience, people buy for decades of reliable service, not just the sticker price.
Hero HF 100: Detailed Specifications & Updated Price
Focusing on the specifics, the HF 100 truly lives up to its title as Hero MotoCorp’s most affordable commuter motorcycle. It’s offered in a single variant called Drum Kick Cast. Underneath its simple exterior, it’s equipped with a reliable 97.2cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine.
| Variant | Price (Rs.) | Price Hike |
|---|---|---|
| All Black | 56,742 | 750 |
| Kick Cast | 60,542 | 749 |
| Self Cast | 65,749 | 750 |
| i3S Cast | 67,132 | 750 |
| Pro | 69,235 | 753 |
This little motor is tuned for practicality, delivering a peak power output of 7.9 bhp and a maximum torque of 8.05 Nm, which is paired perfectly with a 4-speed gearbox for smooth, efficient city commuting. On the financial side, it has received a price revision, and the updated ex-showroom price now stands at Rs 59,489 in India, which is an increase of Rs 750. This slight bump doesn’t change the core value proposition of this staple in Hero’s lineup—it’s still the definition of no-frills, dependable transportation.
Hero HF Deluxe: Variants, Updated Price, and Shared Engineering
Shifting to its sibling, the HF Deluxe is another popular commuter offering in Hero’s 100cc lineup. This motorcycle provides more choice, available across its five variants: All Black, Kick Cast, Self Cast, i3S Cast, and Pro. It too has seen a price increase of up to Rs 750, and following the revision, the HF Deluxe is now priced between Rs 56,742 and Rs 69,235 (ex-showroom). Despite the wider range of features across trims, mechanically, it continues to be powered by the same reliable 97.2cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine found on the HF 100, which in my experience, is legendary for its low maintenance and fuel sipping nature.

Hero Passion Plus: Feature-Packed Commuter with Minimal Price Hike
At the top of this value-focused lineup, the Passion Plus continues to dominate the entry-level commuter segment, sharing its trusted engine with the HF 100 and HF Deluxe. What sets it apart are some clever segment-first highlights you wouldn’t expect here, like a Projector LED headlamp, a USB mobile charging port, and a side-stand indicator—features rarely seen in this category.
| Model | Brake Type | Price (Rs.) | Additional Cost (Rs.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passion Plus | Drum Brake | 76,941 | 250 |
| 125 Million Edition | — | 78,324 | 250 |
What’s impressive is that despite these upgrades, the bike sees only a marginal hike of Rs 250. It’s now priced at Rs 76,941 for the Drum Brake variant and Rs 78,324 for the 125 Million Edition, making it a compelling step-up for those wanting a bit more tech without leaving Hero’s proven mechanical package.
