At the launch event of Xpulse 200, officials confirmed that Hero Maestro Edge 125 will be launched in the coming 10-12 days.
Hero entered the 125cc scooter segment for the first time, with Destini. As we know, it also has plans for one more scooter in this range, that was showcased alongside at the 2018 Auto Expo.
At the launch of Xpulse 200, top officials confirmed that Maestro Edge is scheduled to be launched this month. They further stated that it will be launched in the next 10-12 days. Reports suggest that the scheduled date is 13th May.
Reportedly, Hero is also launching the updated Pleasure on this date as well. Recently, a spy shot of a Sky-Blue Pleasure was leaked.

Hero Maestro Edge 125 uses the same engine that comes on Destini. The 124.6cc air-cooled engine produces 8.7 BHP and 10.2 Nm of peak torque. Expect a slightly better performance on the Maestro.
There are chances that it might be equipped with a BS-6 compliant engine. The delay in its launch compared to the Destini, indicates a certain possibility.
It will also be equipped with Hero’s i3S (Idle Start-Stop System), which again came first on Destini. If the engine is idle for more than 30 seconds, it automatically shuts down. To resume the engine, you have to press the brakes and rev up the accelerator.

For suspension, Hero Maestro Edge 125 uses telescopic forks at the front and spring-loaded hydraulic damper at the back. Braking will be taken care of by a front disc brake and a rear drum brake with Combined-Braking System (CBS).
You can expect the Maestro Edge to carry features like LED headlamps, LED tail lights, a semi-digital instrument console, Econometer, boot lamp and USB Charging Port.
Coming back to the Pleasure, we expect it to get some styling updates and new features too. Reports suggest that it could use the bigger 110cc engine that comes on Duet and Maestro.
