Hero MotoCorp revealed the Maestro Edge 125 and the Duet 125 in India at the Auto Expo in 2018. The company is all set to bring the Duet 125 to the markets. This is confirmed by the leaked digital flyer that is making its rounds on social media. Hero has decided to position the Duet 125 as a premium family scooter, and it will be placed above the Duet 110.
Just like the Maestro Edge, the Duet 125 will be available with Hero’s i3S (Idle Stop-Start System) technology, which will help the scooter achieve a better fuel economy. The scooter will draw its power from a new 125cc single-cylinder air-cooled Energy Boost engine which will deliver a maximum power of 8.7 bhp at 6,750 rpm and a peak torque of 10.2 Nm at 5,000 rpm. This engine will be mated to a CVT automatic transmission, which will transfer the power to the wheels.
The Hero Duet 125 will be available in the markets in four paint schemes, namely Noble Red, Chestnut Bronze, Panther Black, and Pearl Silver White. The scooter will have an all-metal body, and the suspension duties on the front will be handled by telescopic forks. Additional features will include an external fuel cap, a USB charging port, boot light, integrated braking system, dual-tone mirrors, and tubeless tires. The instrument cluster on the scooter will have a mixture of digital and analogue dials, and there will be indicators for reminders for things like a due service of the scooter.
The Duet 125 is likely to carry a more premium price. There are expectations that the scooter will be priced around INR 5,000 above the Duet 110, making the expected price INR 52,000 (ex-showroom). This will put the Duet 125 in direct competition with the Suzuki Burgman Street, the Honda Grazia, the TVS Ntorq 125, the Vespa LX 125, the Aprilia SR 125, and the Suzuki Access 125.
