New Hero Passion XPro Specifications
The new Passion 110cc motorcycle gets its juice from Hero’s indigenously developed OHC motor that benefits from TOD (Torque On Demand) engine and i3S start-stop technology. The engine produces a maximum power of 9.5 PS at 7,500 rpm along with a peak torque of 9 Nm at 5,500 rpm. The engine comes mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The latest motorcycle from Hero benefits from the i3S iSmart fuel-saving technology that helps boost the fuel efficiency by killing the engine during long idling in traffic. The engine switches on as soon as the clutch lever is depressed.
The New Hero Passion XPro is built around the same double cradle frame as the previous iteration. The new bike gets conventional telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. There’s a disc brake on the front wheel while the rear gets a drum unit. The lower variants will get drum brake on the front wheel to keep costs low.
