According to HT Auto, Hero MotoCorp is also inviting customers to share stories that highlight their bond with the brand. Selected entries will be rewarded with the exclusive Centennial motorcycle.
Centennial: A masterpiece of performance and craftsmanship
The Centennial motorcycle boasts a lightweight aluminium swingarm and carbon fiber body panels for aerodynamic efficiency. Its features, including handlebars, mounts, triple clamps, and rear-set foot pegs have been specially developed. The bike weighs 158kg and comes equipped with a gas-charged, fully adjustable mono-shock from Wilbers and a 43-mm upside-down front suspension with damping adjustment. It also has a distinct exhaust note from a carbon fiber and titanium exhaust system by Akrapovic.
Centennial edition: A blend of innovation and excellence
The Centennial Edition was first showcased at the Hero World event in January. Built on the Karizma XMR platform, it features carbon fiber bodywork, a solo seat, milled components such as the swingarm and suspension. The motorcycle weighs 5.5kg less than the Karizma XMR due to these modifications."The Centennial is not merely a landmark motorcycle; it is a memoir, written in steel and carbon fiber," said Dr. Pawan Munjal, Executive Chairman of Hero MotoCorp.
