Super Bikes India-Hastur

 Hero is now onto another model that has surprised many by its radical looks and very un-Hero like disposition. Going by the way the video promotes the Hastur, it seems apparent that Hero is eager for an image overhaul. Known before for making economical, modest bikes such as the Splendor, India’s top bike manufacturer is moving on to uncharted, more exciting territory. The video certainly seems to suggest that performance and design innovation are a top priority for Hero.he bike looks very sporty in the yellow grey colour scheme

The new Hastur boasts some healthy numbers in the newly released video. The bike is powered by a 620cc parallel-twin mill. Hero patented its own CSI cylinder head arrangement for the bike. Peak power capability stands at 80PS. This is quite a generous amount of power for a bike that weighs an airy 159.7 kgs. The result of all these figures is that Hero claims the bike goes from 0-100kmph in a breakneck 3.8 seconds, topping out at a speed of 240kmph.
While it is true that the model is still in its concept stages, it is exciting to see Hero dabbling in the performance bike segment.

The exposed trellis frame adds to the streetbike theme.Hero also succeeds in making the Hastur look like a desirable bike. It looks like a consummate streetfighter. The front of the bike especially is evocative of the Kawasaki Z800. The Hasturn is 2015 mm long, 820 mm wide and stands 1120 mm above ground. The dual projector headlights are equipped with LEDs, which also feature on the tail lights. The front forks are inverted, and adjustable monoshocks execute suspension duties in the rear. The angular meeting points of the various parts of the bike give it a muscular look, though it could have been spaced out a little better. The yellow frame dominates the side profile of the bike.

It will be interesting to see how the market responds to a bike like the Hastur. Not just because it is quite a radical offering in and of itself, but also because it comes from a manufacturer like Hero, which does not have a track record of making such vehicles. No doubt the bike will be shipped to a few of Hero’s international markets. But in order to really succeed they will have to ensure that it appeals to superbike-loving Indian consumers, a steadily growing lot.
        The bike will come in a expected price segment of "5-7 lacs"
         the expected release date would be around mid of june 2016
