The pleasure was Hero's first scooter in India and back in 2006 it made quite a
sensation for itself with the tagline who I should boys have all the fun
but now the pleasure popularity has been relatively reduce but Hero plans to
spice things up with this the pleasure plus it packs a bigger and more powerful
engine a few new features and yet cuter looks so here's the pleasure funky
practical and most importantly simple enough to again bow you to consider it
was the most powerful options in the segment this is the first major update
for the pleasure in 13 years yes in the past the pleasure has gone
through some updates but they were more or less take jobs this time around
the styling is completely new the more curvy panels and the bigger headlamp the
pleasure now looks a lot more retro
like the headlamp the taillights who have been replaced with a sumo unit and
get a black tower for a nice contrasting effect it is now available in seven
colors along with three mate options as well and LED headlamp would have surely
things love more some might feel that the new styling is a little quirky but
we certainly think it looks cute the pleasure now comes with a bigger and more
powerful engine the new motor makes 8.15 years of power and 8.7 Newton meters of
torque because the curve weight has stayed exactly the same at hundred and
one kgs the pleasure is now a lot more peppier the big 110 cc motor has been
borrowed from the duet and the maestro edge and it certainly offers better
performance the extra horsepower the pleasure to pick up pace for
effortlessly from standstill and it even feels more responsive when you open the
throttle add speed keep it pin and the pleasure will reach an indicated 70
kilometers in hour effortlessly total response is also smooth and linear
without any jerk no matter how hard you open the gas
it is still very easy to ride the pleasure was always very nimble on its
feet and given that the underpinnings haven't been changed a lot the new
pleasure plus is also very easy to ride in the city and is the breeze to flick
between traffic even making u-turns is very simple
the part that shorter riders will enjoy the most is the reach to the ground the
low seat height narrow seat and floorboard coupled with its low weight
makes maneuvering in the parking lot of graves but we call of its low weight the
pleasure feels a little nervous at higher speeds and is vested in at a more
reasonable pace also the field from the brakes is very numb he will have to
squeeze them really hard if you want to stop quickly very suspension feels a bit
undid now as a sharper and dilations and potholes can really be felt by the rider
you will have to slow down quite a bit over bumps for a smoother ride the
pleasure class has received only a few minor feature updates
the biggest of the update is this analog instrument cluster which has been
completely revised from before but it still gets a sight some indicators and
all the important warning lights are digital instrument cluster would have
been a lot better and would have looked a lot more premium as well the glove box
compartment was earlier closed but now is an open unit it still houses a pocket
for your phone and the USB charger to juice it up
it still retains the essentials like the integrated braking system along with the
boot light under the seat but what felt missing from the list is a
combined clock which can operate the boot right from the ignition slot or
even the I3S system which the other hero scooters are now getting it now commands
a minor price premium over the old o variants at Rs forty-seven
thousand three hundred for the steel wheel and forty nine thousand three
hundred for the alloy wheel the pleasure is only rupees two thousand
two hundred more than the older variants
hero is once again playing the price start with the pleasure plus the
undercuts its rivals by close to the rs three thousand and really brings
the strong value for money proposition and because of the lower price
it puts up a strong fight against the Yamaha ray zr TVS Jazz and the Honda Activa I
the updates to the pleasure make it look better and helps it ride mood
effortlessly as well it retains its easy writing ability which is further
enhanced with a new engine what these updates do feel like they are in a
little late and are only bringing the pleasure plus on par with the
competition we would have loved to see more features and a better ride quality
which would have given it a serious edge over its rivals as things stand the
pleasure edge remains its pricing is that enough to make a splash in the
segment time will tell but why don't you tell us what you think of the new
pleasure class in the comments below
