In June 2026, Hero MotoCorp officially introduced the all-new Hero Passion+ Disc, which offers a safer and more feature-laden disc option without compromising on the bike’s fuel-efficient nature. The new variant comes with a front disc brake, a completely digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth and new dual-tone colour schemes, which makes it a huge upgrade from the standard drum-brake version, which is priced at ₹84,128 (ex-showroom).
What’s New In Hero Passion+ Disc:
The most remarkable feature is the 240 mm front disc brake, which provides sudden braking power and gives the rider more confidence while riding in the city. Hero has also overhauled the bike’s graphics and handsome dual-tone paint schemes, making the Passion+ look more contemporary than ever but still as recognisable to a commuter as ever before.
The other big change is the all-digital instrument panel. Now it has Bluetooth capability, so the rider can now get call and SMS alerts on the display. In addition, the bike retains Hero’s i3S (Idle Stop-Start System), a USB charging port and side stand engine cut-off, which make the bike even more practical for daily riding.
Hero Passion+ Disc technical specifications explained.
In terms of powertrains, the Hero Passion+ Disc is equipped with a 97.2cc, air-cooled, 4-stroke, fuel-injected (FI) engine with a 50 mm × 49.5 mm bore and stroke and a 9.91:1 compression ratio. Through this combination, it delivers around 8 PS of power at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm.
The engine is mated to a constant-mesh 4-speed gearbox and a wet multi-plate clutch for smooth gear changes, even in the stop-start of city driving. Hero has also incorporated a double cradle frame, ensuring a comfortable ride without compromising on durability.
Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers, which make for a comfortable ride on the rough roads of the urban landscape and the village roads. The front disc brake, along with the rear drum brake fitted with CBS (Combined Braking System), helps to control braking and gives improved stability and confidence in emergency braking.
Riding on alloy wheels with 80/100-18 tubeless tyres at both front and rear positions, the motorcycle provides better grip, easier maintenance and fewer opportunities for sudden loss of air pressure in case of a puncture. The electrical power is provided by a 12V, 3Ah MF (maintenance-free) battery, with the addition of self-start with Hero’s i3S technology and a kick start, which guarantees a reliable start in all situations.
In terms of dimension, Hero Passion+ Disc features 1982 mm of length, 770 mm of width and a 1007 mm of height to ensure easy mobility in heavy traffic. With a wheelbase of 1235 mm, ground clearance of 168 mm, it also maintains its dignity on rough terrains. Additionally it also features a 11 litre fuel tank, to allow longer rides without refilling the fuel frequently, while a kerb weight of 116 kg, keep the bike light and agile.
Claimed Mileage Of Hero Passion+ Disc
In standard riding conditions, Hero says that the Passion+ Disc achieves an impressive 71 kmpl mileage. Put together with the technology supplied by the i3S and an 11-litre fuel tank, the motorcycle is anticipated to have low running expenses and fewer refuelling stops, among its most prominent advantages.
Price of Hero Passion+ Disc:
The new Hero Passion+ Disc will be priced at ₹84,128 (ex-showroom). It is a direct competitor of the popular commuter motorcycles like the Honda Shine 100, TVS Radeon, Bajaj Platina 100 and its rival, the Hero Splendour Plus XTEC.
