India’s favorite commuter bike gets a fresh upgrade to compete with rivals, offering better style, fuel savings, and comfort.
HF Deluxe 100 Gets a Stylish Makeover
Hero MotoCorp has updated its popular commuter motorcycle — the HF Deluxe 100 — with a bold new look, better fuel efficiency, and modern features to challenge the Bajaj Platina. Known for its simple reliability and low upkeep, the HF Deluxe now steps up with a premium design and new features for today’s riders.
The new model keeps the HF series’ core strengths — affordability, comfort, and efficiency — but adds more style to attract younger buyers and rural riders wanting a practical yet good-looking bike.
Premium Looks, Everyday Practicality
Hero has improved the HF Deluxe’s design to make it more eye-catching. It now has fresh graphics, new color options, and chrome touches for a premium feel. The bike keeps its comfy upright riding position, soft seat, and strong build, making it a trusty daily ride.
Design highlights include:
- Sleek graphics with new color themes
- Chrome exhaust and mirrors

These updates make the HF Deluxe not just a budget bike but also a stylish ride.
Mileage That Beats the Pump
The HF Deluxe 100’s up to 65 kmpl mileage is a big draw, making it one of the most fuel-saving bikes in its class. With fuel prices rising, this bike is a smart pick for budget-conscious buyers, especially in smaller towns and rural areas.
