Hero NEW0 IMPULS BIKE LUNCHED IN HYDERABAD

The Hero Impulse 150, as its name suggests is powered by a 150cc four stroke engine that generates a peak power of 13.8 Bhp at 8,000 rpm and a peak torque of 13.6 Nm at 6,000 rpm. All the power and torque produced by this 150cc engine is transmitted to the rear wheel through a five speed transmission. The Hero Impulse 150 is based on the Brazilian Honda NXR Bros and is a dual purpose motorcycle designed to work well, both on the road and off it.

A high set riding position with a saddle height of 835 mm, a 12 liter fuel tank, knuckle guards, dual purpose tyres and massive ground clearance measuring over 240 mm are the other interesting bits of this dual purpose motorcycle. The Hero Impulse 150 weighs a light 119 Kilos which means that the performance from the 150cc engine will be sprightly to say the least. The Hero Impulse 150 will be launched just before Diwali even as Hero Motocorp has begun shipping this motorcycle to Hero dealers across India.

The motorcycle comes with conventional telescopic front forks that provide a high amount of travel, which in this case is 180mm while the gas charged rear monoshock has a travel of 150 mm. These figures are significantly higher than that of commuter motorcycles in the 150cc segment of the Indian motorcycle market, underscoring the dual purpose nature of the Hero Impulse 150.
