This sleek scooter, known for its comfortable ride and cutting-edge technology, has redefined the budget segment by offering smartphone connectivity and LED projector headlamps that provide excellent visibility even at night.

This variant is particularly appealing to women and young individuals who value both style and functionality. The XTEC ZX model, currently priced around ₹78,513 (ex-showroom), has become the most popular choice among buyers in Delhi. For a sportier look, the XTEC Sports variant starts at ₹80,138, while the advanced XTEC Connected variant is priced at up to ₹83,113 (ex-showroom). In metropolitan areas, its on-road price, including RTO and insurance charges, can range from ₹94,000 to ₹102,000, making it a premium yet affordable option in the budget segment.

Engine and Performance

The Hero Pleasure+ XTEC is powered by a reliable 110.9cc air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder engine that has earned the company its reputation for longevity and low maintenance. Producing 8 bhp of power at 7000 rpm and 8.7 Nm of torque at 5500 rpm, this engine ensures a smooth driving experience even in heavy city traffic. Highlighting its smart technology, it features Hero's patented i3S (Idle Stop-Start System) technology, which helps save fuel by shutting down the engine when stopped at traffic signals and restarting with minimal effort.

With a weight of just 106 kg, the scooter is highly maneuverable, making it easy to corner in narrow streets and heavy traffic. Its lightweight build also ensures that riders experience less fatigue while on the road.

Mileage and Smart Features

Economical fuel consumption is another key feature of this scooter. The Hero Pleasure+ XTEC boasts an ARAI-certified mileage range of 50 to 52 km/l, providing significant savings amid rising petrol prices. In real-world conditions, riders can achieve impressive city mileage of around 45 to 48 km/l, with highway performance even reaching up to 53 km/l.

The scooter is also packed with smart features such as LED projector headlamps that illuminate the road path with over 25% more clarity than conventional halogen lights. Its semi-digital instrument console allows for Bluetooth connectivity, providing convenience by sending call and SMS alerts directly to your phone. For long rides, the front glove box houses a charging port, ensuring that your phone never runs out of power.

To ensure rider safety, it features an Integrated Braking System (IBS) that activates the front brakes in balance with rear braking. Additionally, there's a side-stand engine cut-off sensor to prevent accidental starting when the stand is down and robust 10-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres for a smooth ride on rough roads.
