The Hero Impulse is a discontinued 149.2 cc air-cooled motorcycle with a 5-speed gearbox. BikeDekho, BikeWale and ZigWheels list 13.0 bhp @ 7500 rpm maximum power and 13.4 Nm @ 5000 rpm maximum torque. It has a 11.1 L fuel tank and a 134 kg kerb weight.
The Hero Impulse is an off-road motorcycle from Hero MotoCorp. It was launched in 2011 and has since been discontinued (production ended around 2017). Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Off-road bikes are built for dirt trails, with long-travel suspension and knobbly tyres. With a 149.2 cc engine it sits in the 125–150 cc class.
Power comes from a 149.2 cc single-cylinder air-cooled carburetted engine that makes 13.0 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 13.4 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. Peak torque arrives low in the rev range, at 5,000 rpm, which makes it relaxed to ride in traffic. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 98 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The claimed top speed is 115 km/h. It has both electric and kick start.
It has a 5-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
It is built around a semi double cradle frame. Suspension is by telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers at the front and swing arm with mono suspension with nitrox at the rear. Braking is by a 240 mm disc at the front and a 110 mm drum at the rear. It rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels — 90/90 - 19 at the front and 110/90 - 17 at the rear.
The seat is 835 mm off the ground, which is on the tall side, so shorter riders may want to try it first. It weighs 134 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 245 mm — plenty for broken roads and tall speed breakers. It is 2,100 mm long, with 1,360 mm between the axles. Its 11.1 L fuel tank and claimed mileage of 69.8 Kmpl work out to roughly 775 km per tankful on paper; real-world range is usually lower.
Equipment includes an analogue and digital instrument console, a halogen headlamp and service due indicator. Safety equipment includes low fuel indicator.
The manufacturer's warranty is 5 years or 40,000 km. For the Hero Impulse, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹1,199 doorstep service.
It is best suited to trail riding and rough tracks.
Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment. Being carburetted, it benefits from an occasional carburettor clean, especially if it has stood unused.

Mechiee doorstep service
₹1,199
Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.
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 is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Disc, 240 mm and Drum, 110 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
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.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
This bike runs 90/90 - 19 / 110/90 - 17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
The battery is listed as Lead Acid. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
