All-new Hero Achiever 150 launched at Rs 61,800

Hero MotoCorp gives the Achiever a breath of fresh air with an all-new powertain that's been developed completely in-house. The Achiever 150 also comes with i3S idle start-stop system.

Only a few weeks ago, Hero MotoCorp launched its first ever indigenously built motorcycle in the shape of the Splendor 110 iSmart. Now, today, Hero has launched another ‘all-new’ motorcycle that is developed and built completely in-house. The brand new product carries the familiar Achiever 150 nameplate but comes with an all-new engine. Prices start at Rs 61,800 for the drum variant and go up to Rs 62,800 for disc version (both ex-showroom, New Delhi).

Coming to the engine specifications of the Achiever 150, it comes powered by an air-cooled 149.1cc single-cylinder carbureted engine that develops 13.4bhp @ 8,000rpm and 12.8Nm @ 5,000rpm. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox and is BSIV compliant. Hero claims the motorcycle will do 0-60km/h in 5 seconds.

Like the smaller Hero Splendor iSmart 110, the new Achiever 150 gets Hero’s i3S idle start-stop system and automatic 'headlamp on' feature. In addition to that, the motorcycle comes with maintenance-free battery, tubeless tyres, side-stand indicator, and viscous air-filter.

In its new avatar, the Achiever has also received a few updates on the aesthetics front. The front cowl and headlight are new, while the fuel tank and other body panels have also been redesigned. The tail-lamp has also been reprofiled. The motorcycle also gets a new analogue-digital instrument cluster. The new Achiever 150 is available in three colours – Panther Black Metallic, Candy Blazing Red and Ebony Grey Metallic.

A special edition variant of the new Achiever 150 in a tricolor theme has also been launched. This is to commemorate the company’s 70 million cumulative sales as well as the 70^th year of Independence of the country. Only 70 units will be made.
