Hero Passion Pro BS6

The Hero Passion Pro BS6 is an intriguing entrant in the commuter segment of motorcycles, offering a great blend of affordability, practicality, and efficiency. Let's delve into the details of this motorcycle to understand its strengths and potential areas for improvement.

Design and Aesthetics
The Hero Passion Pro BS6 sports an appealing and robust design with a muscular fuel tank adorned by triple-tone graphics. The bike is available in five distinct colours: Glaze Black, Sports Red, Moon Yellow, Heavy Grey Metallic, and Techno Blue. The signature tail lamp, brighter headlamp, and a stylish muffler cover accentuate the overall aesthetics of the bike, making it a visual treat on the roads.

Engine and Performance
The Passion Pro BS6 is powered by an air-cooled, 4-stroke, 110cc engine that delivers a peak power output of 9.02 PS @ 7500 rpm and a maximum torque of 9.79 Nm @ 5000 rpm. The bike offers a decent top speed of 100 kmph, which is more than adequate for daily city commuting and occasional long rides.

One of the highlights is the engine's Autosail technology that makes city traffic riding smoother. It also sports the i3s (Idle Stop-Start System) technology, ensuring improved fuel efficiency by switching off the engine during longer idle periods and quickly restarting it as soon as you engage the clutch.



Transmission and Handling
The Passion Pro BS6 features a wet multi-plate clutch with constant mesh transmission. The combination offers a seamless and smooth riding experience, even on challenging terrains.

The motorcycle has a sturdy diamond frame with a front suspension featuring a 30mm conventional fork and a rear twin-shox suspension, providing ample absorption of shocks and jolts. This suspension setup ensures a comfortable ride, even on uneven terrains.

Brakes and Safety
In terms of braking, the Passion Pro BS6 offers two options – a 240 mm disc or a 130 mm drum for the front brake, and a 130 mm drum brake at the rear. While the disc variant offers superior stopping power, the drum variant should be more than sufficient for typical city riding.

Instrument Console
The Passion Pro BS6 features a digi-analogue console, offering the best of both worlds. The digital part displays useful information such as fuel level, odometer and trip meter readings, while the analogue part displays the speedometer.

Fuel Efficiency and Price
Boasting a fuel efficiency of 75 km per litre, the Passion Pro BS6 is an economical choice for daily commuting. The fuel tank can hold up to 10 litres, providing a substantial riding range. The ex-showroom price in Delhi is Rs. 74,678, which is a competitive pricing point for the features it offers.

Final Verdict
All things considered, the Hero Passion Pro BS6 appears to be a competent commuter motorcycle, offering an excellent balance of performance, comfort, fuel efficiency, and price. If you are in the market for an affordable yet feature-rich commuter bike, the Hero Passion Pro BS6 should definitely be on your list of considerations.
