Hero Honda recently changed then name to Hero MotoCorp and the first bike from the company under the new name has been spied by Autocarindia. Autocarindia reader Prateek Kandelwal from Uttarakand managed to get the spy picture of the bike.
As seen in the picture, the bike looks to be a dirt bike, note the raised front mudguards. The engine capacity could be from 150-250cc capacity and the bike will be mainly aimed at youth. A dirt bike concept had also been incorporated by Bajaj Auto few years back but could not do well in the longer run. Hero MotoCorp want to tap the dirt bike market which is not present in India at present. After all it’s the price factor which decides the vehicle’s success in India. Hero with its strong experience would definitely price this bike within reach.
