Hero Impulse 150 comes with a sticker price of INR 66,800 Ex-showroom New Delhi; Details of Specs and Features inside!

Hero MotoCorp has just announced the pricing of the first product that the motorcycle maker has launched after breaking up with long time alliance partner, Honda. The Hero Impulse 150 dual purpose motorcycle will be priced at INR 66,800 ex-showroom New Delhi. At this price, the Impulse is only slightly pricier than the rest of the 150cc motorcycles it competes with but considering the completely brand new segment Hero Motocorp is seeking to establish with the seemingly niche Impulse 150, the pricing seems very competitive.

The Hero Impulse 150, as its name suggests is powered by a 150cc four stroke engine that generates a peak power of 13.8 Bhp at 8,000 rpm  and a peak torque of 13.6 Nm at 6,000 rpm. All the power and torque produced by this 150cc engine is transmitted to the rear wheel through a five speed transmission. The Hero Impulse 150 is based on the Brazilian Honda NXR Bros and is a dual purpose motorcycle designed to work well, both on the road and off it.

The motorcycle comes with conventional telescopic front forks that provide a high amount of travel, which in this case is 180mm while the gas charged rear monoshock has a travel of 150 mm. These figures are significantly higher than that of commuter motorcycles in the 150cc segment of the Indian motorcycle market, underscoring the dual purpose nature of the Hero Impulse 150.

A high set riding position with a saddle height of 835 mm, a 12 liter fuel tank, knuckle guards, dual purpose tyres  and massive ground clearance  measuring over 240 mm are the other interesting bits of this dual purpose motorcycle. The Hero Impulse 150 weighs a  light 119 Kilos which means that the performance from the 150cc engine will be sprightly to say the least. The Hero Impulse 150 will be launched just before Diwali even as Hero Motocorp has begun shipping this motorcycle to Hero dealers across India.

Meanwhile here’s word about the Impulse 150 from Anil Dua, the vice president(sales and marketin) at Hero Motocorp,

The Impulse is the first bike from us which will be sold only under the Hero brand. We have already started dispatches and it will soon be available at showrooms in metros and Tier-I cities. As per our agreement with Honda, this bike is with the support of their technology and we are not selling it under the Hero Honda brand. Considering the dual purpose of the bike and the features it has, this comes at a slight premium compared to other normal 150-cc bikes. We are not positioning this as a niche segment bike. We are targeting all the typical 150-cc bikers who have a desire to do off-road activities with their motorcycles. We are not looking at this bike as a niche product, but trying to have an extensive market reach.

    woohoo….66,000/- is a really good price for the 150 Impulse. I was expecting something around 75,000/-. if this 150cc Impulse is at this price, then I can expect a 250cc Impulse will be somewhere close to 1 lakh.
