Hero HF 100: The Hero HF 100 still represents India’s desire for affordable, utilitarian mobility in 2025.
Launching at an appealing price point, the HF 100 is one of the most affordable entry-level motorcycles in its class—and that’s exactly what Hero MotoCorp is all about—access to mobility for the masses, especially in semi-urban and rural India.
Design and Styling
The 2025 Hero HF 100 continues to be simple looking with minimal cosmetic updates. The simple and direct way is not designed and clean, and practical made, not want decorative appearance.
Fresh graphic designs and colourways such as Blazing Red, Shield Gold and Classic Black provide subtle visual enhancement whilst preserving the motorcycle’s iconic image.
Engine Performance
The reliable 97.2cc single cylinder air-cooled engine generating 8.02 bhp and 8.05 Nm of torque, does the duty on the HF 100.
The engine continues to emphasize on fuel efficiency, and Hero is touting figures of upto 70 kmpl as efficiency.
The newest BS6 Phase 2 version has slightly better refinement and throttle response but is still a bulletproof engine like we all know by now.
Riding Dynamics
The HF 100 uses a simple telescopic front fork and twin rear shock absorbers, all set up in favour of comfort of the wide variety of road surfaces in India.
With a weight of 110 kg, usability in heavy traffic is easy and stable despite the 18-inch large wheels. Braking is provided by drum brakes at both ends and an integrated braking system for just when you want to come to halt for good.
