Hero MotoCorp had announced a dirt bike and the company is progressing on the development of the model. The highly camouflaged vehicle was spotted recently undergoing tests and is the first all new motorcycle from Hero MotoCorp. The bike features a long travel telescopic front suspension, high floating front mudguard, monoshock rear suspension, digital instrumentation, spoke wheels, tubular steel frame, exposed chain, front discs and rear drums. The ground clearance is very high and the dirt bike could feature an 150-200 cc engine which would be a four-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled unit. The engine would be mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and will most likely be tuned for low to mid-range torque. Prices should start around Rs. 80,000/- but there is no official confirmation from the company yet.

Everything s good but you think a dirt bike needs a saree guard ????
In India every bike is naked & made in such a manner that it can do a little off-roading. In Foreign countries every bike is with fairing & made for urban roads thats why there is a craze of naked versions of bikes or Off road bikes to be different from other bikers.In India Fully faired bikes is more in demand opposed to Dirt bikes. If Hero-motocorp wants to prove it self then they should bring a watercooled fully faired 250-400cc bike instead of this dirt bike which will eat dirt in showrooms as nobody will be taker. :P …lol
@FAS:
I rmbr i heard somewhere that saree guard is a mandatory for all 2 wheelers in India… Heard this is a govt rule. Is it so?
Also heard that HMC is working on a Diesel powered bike. Is it so?
Prasadh, yes saree guard is compulsory. As far as diesel powered bike goes, HMC is indeed working on it.
