The Hero Maestro Edge 125 shares its underpinnings with the Destini 125 that was launched last year. It is the sportier sibling of the Destini 125 and will be targeted at a younger set of buyers. The scooter will come with alloy wheels, USB charging and the company's i3S start-stop technology to achieve higher efficiency. Power on the scooter comes from the same 125 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that powers the Destini. The unit is a bored out version based on the 110 cc mill and will deliver 8.5 bhp and 10.2 Nm of peak torque. The power delivery though could be tuned for quicker response. The engine will come paired with a CVT unit. In terms of features, the Hero Maestro Edge 125 will be equipped with a digital-analog instrument console with a side stand indicator and service reminder and external fuel-filler cap among others. The scooter will come with an optional front disc brake, while there could be a fuel-injected variant as well. Expecting competitive pricing, prices for the Hero Maestro Edge 125 is likely to start from Rs. 57,000.

hero pleasure bs4 The Hero Pleasure has got a comprehensive styling update for the first time.

The Hero Pleasure 110 gets its first comprehensive upgrade with completely revised styling. It gets a new front apron that continues to integrate the indicators and this gives the scooter a very modern look. Adding a zing of peppiness is the headlamp design which is new and is an angular-upright shaped unit giving it a very retro-feel; while making sure that it still is very much contemporary. Adding a bit more sportiness to the scooter are the changes to the side panel and even the brushed silver plastic inserts which add a bit of premiumness to the scooter. The Pleasure is likely to get the same 102 cc single-cylinder engine which puts out 6.9 bhp and 8.1 Nm of peak torque. The figures could see some improvement, while the efficiency is also likely to be better on the new model. The updated model will get IBS (Integrated Braking System) as standard, meeting the future norms. We expect prices for this one to start from Rs. 46,500.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
