While there's been no official confirmation about the launch of the facelift, Hero MotoCorp has updated the products section of their official website with details of the new Hero Hunk.

Overall, the facelifted Hero Hunk retains the same muscular silhouette of the existing Hero Hunk, but gets a range of new paint schemes and new body graphics.

Apart from the change in the powertrain, the new Hunk comes with new graphics, new instrument cluster with side stand indicators, and Inverted GRS suspension. The motorcycle is available in six colours; Bold Brown, Panther Black, Matte Black, Ebony Grey, Force Silver and Blazing Red.
