Hero HF Deluxe 2025: Hero MotoCorp just gave their bestselling HF Deluxe a 2025 makeover, and honestly? It’s exactly what you’d expect—practical updates without the fancy price tag that makes you rethink your life choices.
What’s Actually New This Time Around
Look, Hero isn’t trying to reinvent the motorcycle here. The 2025 HF Deluxe still runs on that trusty 97.2cc engine that’s probably powered half of India’s daily commute by now. It puts out 8.02 PS at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm—numbers that won’t make your heart skip a beat, but they’ll definitely get you to work on time.
The real kicker? They’ve thrown in i3S technology on the top variants. Basically, your bike now has the sense to shut itself off at red lights instead of burning fuel while you’re stuck behind that auto-rickshaw going nowhere. It’s like having a financially responsible friend who reminds you to turn off the lights when you leave a room.
Mileage That Actually Matters When Petrol Costs a Kidney
Here’s where things get interesting. Hero claims 70 kmpl from the ARAI tests, and surprisingly, real-world riders are actually hitting somewhere between 65-70 kmpl. That’s not the usual “lab vs reality” disappointment we’re used to.
With the 9.6-liter tank, you’re looking at roughly 650 kilometers on a full tank. That’s like riding from Delhi to Jaipur without stopping for fuel—though you’ll probably want to stop for those famous dal-baati breaks anyway.

Four Ways to Spend Your Money
Hero’s kept the variant lineup refreshingly simple. No confusing alphabet soup of trim levels here:
The base HF Deluxe Self Start Alloy Wheel All Black starts at ₹59,998—that’s less than what some people spend on their monthly Swiggy orders. Move up to the Kick Start Alloy Wheel at ₹62,370, then the regular Self Start Alloy Wheel at ₹68,018, and finally the Self Start Alloy Wheel i3S at ₹69,518.
It’s pricing that makes sense. No hidden surprises, no “contact dealer for price” nonsense.
Design That Doesn’t Try Too Hard
The 2025 HF Deluxe looks like… well, an HF Deluxe. And that’s perfectly fine. Sometimes the best design is the one that doesn’t scream for attention. You get 805mm seat height (most Indians can actually touch the ground), 112kg weight (your grandmother could probably push it if needed), and 165mm ground clearance for those crater-sized potholes that appear overnight.
Alloy wheels come standard, along with drum brakes and IBS. The telescopic front suspension handles bumps better than your back would appreciate, paired with dual springs at the rear. It’s functional engineering—the kind that works without making a fuss about it.
Who’s This Bike Really For?
Let’s be honest—this isn’t for the guy who dreams of weekend rides to Leh. The HF Deluxe 2025 is for the college student who needs to get to class, the small shop owner making deliveries, the office worker tired of crowded buses. It’s for people who see motorcycles as solutions, not statements.
The 85 kmph top speed won’t win any drag races, but it’ll cruise at 50-60 kmph all day without breaking a sweat. Think of it as the reliable friend who’s always there when you need them—not the most exciting, but dependable as your morning chai.
