Hero Pleasure Plus XTEC

The Hero Pleasure Plus XTEC was launched as a friendlier alternative to the popular Honda Activa in India. Over the years, it has built a loyal following, especially among nimble and lightweight scooter enthusiasts for everyday commutes.

It is great for daily commutes due to good mileage of 50 kmpl, and a peppy 110.0cc engine that is well-suited for city use. Hero has added a few modern touches like bright colour options, blacked-out alloy wheels, and a stop-start system to improve fuel efficiency.

• The Pleasure Plus has a classic family scooter look with rounded panels that make it look simple and nice.
• The projector LED headlight offers 25% more light, with a brushed aluminium frame at the front, which adds a neat touch to the overall design.

• The indicators are split by a brushed aluminium panel, which gives the scooter a mix of old-school and modern styling.
• The rear-view mirrors have a metal finish, which makes them look a little premium.

• The CVT automatic transmission makes riding simple, even for beginners, with seamless power delivery.
• The scooter can comfortably go up to 70 kmph and cruise at 75 kmph, but it starts to struggle if you try to push it beyond that.

• The Pleasure Plus feels very nimble and is simple for beginners to ride, with a kerb weight of just 106 kg.
