The world leader of two wheelers has unleashed a new bike – ‘Hero Motocorp Ignitor’ making the newest addition in the 125cc array of its bikes. Hero Ignitor made a silent entry in 2012 Auto Expo with two variants – base variant with drum brakes & self-start system and top end variant with disc brakes.
The new Hero Ignitor Bike is considered to be a re-badged version of Honda CBF Stunner, with which India’s largest Motorcycle manufacturer Honda had a split last year. The Hero bike seems to be based on Stunner’s engine, technologies and similar design with few extra additions on performance ground and slightly higher price than Honda Stunner.
Hero MotoCorp Ignitor Bike is an entry level bike which features analogue digital instrument cluster which provides a neat and stylish look to the archetype.
Offering the similar dimensions of Stunner, Hero’s new bike is expected to be offered in four attractive colors – Vibrant Blue, Pearl White, Sports Red and Panther Black.
Like Honda Stunner, Ignitor is too equipped with split seats which allow separate seating for rider and pillion. This ensures comfort to the riders and also adds sporty appearance to the whole structure.
