हीरो प्लेजर

We all remember this two-wheeler very well by Priyanka Chopra’s ad with a very famous tag line – ‘why should boys have all the fun’. Targeting women and female category riders, this light weighted vehicle was Hero super hit model launched in the 2005. Appearance wise, it is still in sync with the earlier model but now comes with trendy new paint colour schemes. The most significant update is that it has the Integrated Braking (IBS) which is the same as the one on the Maestro and Duet and makes it more efficient. The combined braking system engages both, the front, and the rear brakes when the left brake lever is pulled, it provides better braking efficiency in emergency situations too. There are more updates added to the bike like the light in the glove box which is also lockable adding security element to the bike. There is also a side stand indicator and combination ignition lock + seat opening mechanism making the bike more equipped than before. Then there is the new age instrument cluster and a mobile charger socket which harkens to the future. The scooter is powered by a single cylinder, 102cc engine which produces 6.9bhp of power and 8.1Nm of torque, thereby giving it a lot more strength in comparison to the earlier model. It competes with Honda Activa-i, Yamaha Ray, and the Honda Dio.
