Facelifted Hero Pleasure 2019 Model Spotted

Much demanded Hero Pleasure has got a Facelift and is spotted with a makeover. This 2019 Facelifted Hero Pleasure is spotted having a completely brand new retro-inspired bodywork. New facelifted version has a new light blue shade look with brushed silver accents. The Idea for this facelift seems to have been drawn from the current ‘Pleasure’.

The facelifted Hero Pleasure has been spotted during the shoot of an Advertisement on the Mumbai streets. The best noticeable feature added to this facelift is its New styling. The new styling includes a new front fender, front apron, turn indicators, headlamp cowl, headlamp, side panels and tail lamp assembly. The seat and the rear grab rail seems new just the rearview mirrors seems to be imitating the original. The Blue shade in Bikes & scooters has been the loved ones from all time. The scooter carries the blue shade and on the other side, Hero has plans to go be adopting brushed aluminium accents on the scooter and not chrome. The headlamp looks to be featured with LED lights and refreshing of instrument console is evident.

Looked closely, it could be noticed that this facelifted model has most of the features, the very same as its previous model and we could say this by looking at the new facelift closely. We find that it has the same underpinnings as the previous iteration. The indentation for the side stand and pillion footpeg are placed at the same position as the current Pleasure. It is not cool to accept that the facelifted version of Hero Pleasure scooter uses the same link-type front suspension setup as its original model and not a more modern telescopic setup. The scooter during the shoot reflected running tyres with a more aggressive tread pattern. The facelifted model is expected to be carrying over the same front and rear drum brake setup with an Integrated Braking System (IBS)just like the Pleasure in the market at this time.

Currently, the Pleasure in Hero’s lineup which we have in the market is powered by a 102cc motor and its facelift is expected to be updated with a more powerful motor offering 110.9cc air-cooled single that powers the Duet and Maestro Edge. As the facelift is spotted in the shoot, it is expected to get launched earlier next month. Regarding the Price for this model, as we know the top variant of the current Pleasure is priced at Rs 47,100 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the new Pleasure is expected to get a premium of Rs 3,000. The chief competitors for Pleasure are the Honda Activa and TVS NTorq.
