The two-wheeler giant Hero MotoCorp has launched the new Hero Pleasure Plus Xtec Sports variant in the Indian market. The new variant is available at a price of INR 79,738 (ex-showroom, Delhi). In the brand’s lineup, the scooter is positioned between the top-end Xtec standard and Xtec Connected variants. With the addition of this new variant, Hero Pleasure Plus is now available in six variants.
The most significant feature that sets the Xtec Sports trim apart from other models is its new paint schemes and graphics. The Hero Pleasure Plus Xtec Sports comes in an Abrax Orange Blue color scheme with blue as the primary color, slashes of orange highlights, and an ‘18’ number on the side panels, front fender, and front apron. In addition, there are orange highlights running through the circumference of the body-colored grab handles, wheels, and mirrors.
