Design and Features

Unlike the Pleasure, which has been targeted solely at the female clientele, the new Hero Maestro Edge should appeal to both the sexes. That said, it won’t be too wrong to say that the Maestro Edge, much like the Honda Activa, would target middle-aged men who are in the market for full-grown scooter that can be used for commuting and to run an errand.

The new Hero Maestro Edge comes with a long list of features –

Semi-digital instrument console
Telescopic front suspension
External fuel filler
Immobilizer
Integrated Braking
Mobile charging port
Illuminated underseat storage compartment
Women footrest
Side-stand indicator

Specification

Powering the Hero Maestro Edge automatic scooter is Hero’s first-ever homegrown engine. This motor displaces 110.9 cc and has a max. power of 8.43 PS at 8,000 rpm and a peak torque of 8.3 Nm at 6,500 rpm. This single-pot, air-cooled petrol motor comes mated to a CVT. The scooter is likely to have a true top speed of around 102 km/h. The Maestro Edge boasts of telescopic front forks. Also, while it will have a 12-inch wheel at the front, the rear wheel measure 10 inches in diameter. Both the wheels will come shod with 90/90 spec rubber. The scooter will have drum brakes at both ends. However, we are hoping that Hero would launch a front disc brake variant in near future. Hero Maestro Edge comes with 5 year warranty.
