Hero Ignitor is a 125 cc stylish domestic bike from Hero Motor Corp. Hero and Honda are no longer working together. Honda started manufacturing it’s own bikes and took hold of marketing in it’s own hand. However, Hero Ignitor can be your choice especially if you are looking for a bike less than Rs. 60k. Ignitor is priced Rs. 56,940/- (Ex Showroom price) with Drum front brake while the front disk one is slightly costly and available at Rs. 58978/- (Ex Showroom price) in Kolkata. Both the above said variants come with self start which is a common feature in most two wheelers.
Hero Ignitor
Stylish looks, powerful 125 ATFT engine, adjustable shock absorption technology and not to forget split seat design are the main strengths of Hero Ignitor. It gives around 55-60 kmpl mileage in city and slightly improved mileage in highways. Overall, Ignitor can be a competitor of Honda Stunner although look wise there is nothing to separate between the duos. Let’s take a look at the technical specifications-
