Hero to discontinue Maestro Soon

MotoCorp used to be in partnership with the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer Honda. A few products based on Honda's platforms under the brand 'Hero Honda' were introduced back then, and some of them are still on sale under the name Hero MotoCorp. Hero, which has been paying a royalty to Honda for the use of its technology, now wishes to end the partnership. For this, it will need to discontinue all products that use Honda's technology, and this includes the Maestro as well.      

 

Yes, the Hero Maestro is one of the few products which are based on Honda's sourced platform and could be discontinued from the market soon. The company has already launched the new Maestro Edge with improved performance and features and the scooter is gradually overtaking market share from the old model. Currently, the company is offering both the scooters in the market.

 

The Maestro Edge is completely designed and developed by Hero and it's one of the best 110cc scooters on sale in the market. Looking wise, it is much sportier and gets an edgy styling along with some premium elements. Powering the scooter is an all-new 110cc engine that is one of the best performing motors in the respective segment. It delivers 8.4PS of power at 8,000rpm and 8.3Nm of torque at 6,500rpm. Besides the good performance and looks, the scooter gets a host of features like LED tail lamp, smart external fuel filling, digital-analog instrument console, mobile charging port, boot light, alloy wheels, immobilizer (anti-theft system) and IBS (Integrated Braking System).

With all the advanced features, new look and better performance, the new Hero Maestro Edge is all set to replace the old Maestro completely in both the domestic and the international markets. The capital saved from the royalty after discontinuing the old Maestro will be used by the company's R&D.
