The Hero Motocorp Achiever will be available for INR 61,800 for the drum brake version and INR 62,800 for the disk version. It is one of the cheapest 150cc motorcycles and gives the rider brilliant fuel-efficiency and refinement-aided ride quality. This bike provides top-end performance and it faces a stiff competition from SZ-R, GS 150R or Pulsar at the same price point.
Hero Achiever
If there is anything that Hero MotorCorp has earned its name for, it is its affordable line of commuter workhorses. The new Achiever is another addition to the company’s 150cc segment, and seems to cater to college-going lads and maybe the office goers. If you go through any review, you would know that it is not the race-kind but would run well on a highway as well.
How Does he Achiever 150 Look Like?
When it comes to the Achiever exterior, it looks nothing different from a customary Indian 150cc motorbike. Understandably enough, this bike launch was to cater to the budget-conscious class of the country. The idea behind the conception of this bike is quite explanatory when you take a glance at the two-wheeler that does not look much ostentatious but still manages to make a presence on the road. Looking down at the instrument console, you will feel at ease as it is utterly straightforward with an analogue display. The new model comes with Hero’s idle-start-stop (i3s) technology, but the engine-kill switch is missing. Continuing its heritage of minimal stickering and including a contemporary chrome heat guard on the exhaust makes the Achiever subtly classy.
Does Hero Achiever Price Justify Its Performance?
The price of this bike is in range of the other 150cc motorbikes in the country. If you compare the Achiever 150 with its other 150cc siblings, you might already be convinced regarding the prices — they are pretty competitive!
Talking about the technical aspects of the bike, the highlight is the all-new components that it entails. Hero MotorCrop has used its all-new products from the Centre of Innovation and Technology in Jaipur to structure the Achiever 150. However, the core remains unchanged, and thus, quality and reliance stay the same. It has the same 150cc mill harvesting the equivalent level of highest power and torque. Nevertheless, Hero has put in a great effort to modify the engine and the powertrain that lead to this BS-IV compliant Hero, which comes with a five-speed gearbox. So, if you consider the mileage, it gives 51 km per litre in the city.
The i3s technology means that the engine will automatically stop after it is idle for 5 seconds but will start up as soon as you press the clutch. The Hero is indeed stepping a notch up its fuel efficiency game with this innovation. Another neoteric feature evident on the bike is the absence of headlight on/off switch. Adhering to the new legislation passed by the Indian government, which says that every Indian two-wheeler should have its headlights on at all times, the Achiever skipped this switch and instead installed a button for the high or low beam.
Final Word on the Hero Achiever 150
The Achiever 150 is a perfect blend of comfort with style on a two-wheeler. With its top-notch specs for a 150cc motorbike paired with mileage per litre, it is inevitably an all-starer! The commuters in India will truly enjoy their everyday ride on this trendy two-wheeler.
