Hero Pleasure Plus Xtec Sports Variant Launched

The Hero Pleasure Plus Xtec Sports has been launched. It gets connectivity features from the Xtec variant with a fresh sporty paint scheme and graphics. Priced at Rs 79,738 (ex-showroom, Delhi), it is Rs 1,600 more expensive than the standard Xtec variant. Here is a variant-wise price list:

The Hero Pleasure Plus Xtec Sports comes with a vibrant Abrax Orange Blue paint scheme with sporty graphics, and an ‘18’ decal on the side panels and apron. The scooter’s tagline #MyLicenseToRide indicates that the number is a reference to being 18 years of age, which is the legal age limit for riding petrol-powered two-wheelers. The scooter also gets orange rim stickers, and chrome accents around the body. It features body-coloured mirrors instead of chrome-finished ones and has a body-coloured grab rail without a backrest, rather than the standard Pleasure Plus Xtec’s chrome one with a cushioned pillion backrest.

Hero MotoCorp has given all the features of the Xtec variant to the Pleasure Plus Xtec Sports. It comes with a projector LED headlight with apron-mounted indicators. The scooter features a semi-digital instrument console with smartphone connectivity, including call and SMS alerts. That said, there’s no turn-by-turn navigation. The scooter also gets Hero’s i3S technology that helps in getting better mileage. Additionally, the apron also has a decently large storage space.

Rest all the mechanicals and hardware remains the same on the scooter. It continues to be powered by a fuel-injected single-cylinder 110.9cc engine producing 8.1PS and 8.7Nm. The Pleasure Plus Xtec Sports rivals the Honda Activa 6G, TVS Scooty Zest 110 and Hero Xoom 110. You can also consider the Suzuki Access 125 and TVS Jupiter 125 which come at a similar price.
