Hero MotoCorp that launched the more powerful version of the Xtreme Sports in the country, is now planning to bring in the 2015 Hero Hunk with a more powerful engine along with updated graphics. The updated model has recently been spotted during its test rounds on Indian roads; indicating a near launch.
The motorcycle spotted was fully camouflaged, but the bike features the “Hunk” logo on the tank. Also visible are new golden graphics. The styling of the new Hero Hunk is expected to remain unchanged, but the company might offer subtle changes to offer it a refreshing look. It is expected that the new Hero Hunk facelift could get a slightly modified headlamps and new body graphics.
Talking about mechanics, the new Hero MotoCorp Hunk is likely to share the engine spec with the updated Hero Xtreme Sports. It is powered by a 149.2cc, air-cooled, 4-stroke unit that also powers the Xtreme. This engine is capable of producing 15.6bhp of power and 13.5Nm of torque, and it is expected that the same power values will be offered with the Hunk as well. This engine is paired to a five-speed gearbox.
The styling changes will be limited to headlamps, graphics and logo. We expect that the updated bike will hit showrooms around the festive season this year. The motorcycle is likely to be pricier than the current model.
