About the Hero HF 100

Overview

The Hero HF 100 is a commuter motorcycle from Hero MotoCorp. It is currently on sale. Commuter bikes are built for everyday riding: economical, easy to handle and inexpensive to run and maintain. With a 97.2 cc engine it sits in the entry-level 100–110 cc commuter class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 97.2 cc single-cylinder air-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 5.9 kW at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 73 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The claimed top speed is 85 km/h. It has kick start only.

Gearbox

It has a 4-speed manual gearbox with an all-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a tubular double cradle frame. Suspension is by telescopic hydraulic forks at the front and swingarm with 2-step adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear. Braking is by a 130 mm drum at the front and a 130 mm drum at the rear, with a combined braking system. Using the rear brake lever also applies some front brake, which shortens stops for riders who lean on the rear brake. It rides on 18-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, 2.75 x 18 at both ends.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 805 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 110 kg ready to ride, light enough to push around and park easily. Ground clearance is 165 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 1,965 mm long, with 1,235 mm between the axles. Its 9.1 L fuel tank and claimed mileage of 72 kmpl work out to roughly 655 km per tankful on paper; real-world range is usually lower.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes an analogue instrument console, a halogen headlamp, xSENS FI technology, all-weather easy start, side-stand engine cut-off and engine cut-off on fall. Safety equipment includes side-stand engine cut-off and engine cut-off on fall.

Owning one

The manufacturer's warranty is 5 years. It comes in 2 colours. For the Hero HF 100, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹899 doorstep service.

Maintaining the Hero HF 100

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Drum, 130 mm and Drum, 130 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 2.75 x 18 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    The battery is listed as 12 V 3 Ah maintenance-free. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Hero HF 100 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

IBS
Integrated braking system, Hero's name for a combined arrangement in which the rear brake also brings in the front brake.
OHC / SOHC / DOHC
How the engine's valves are operated. OHC and SOHC mean one overhead camshaft; DOHC means two, which usually allows higher revs and more power from the same size.
Fuel injection
Petrol is delivered by an electronically controlled injector instead of a carburettor, which helps with easy starting and steady fuel economy.
Air cooling
The engine is cooled by air flowing over its fins. It is simpler and needs no coolant, which keeps upkeep straightforward.
Tubeless tyres
Tyres with no inner tube. A small puncture usually loses air slowly, which makes roadside repair easier.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
