Hero Passion Xtec

1. The buying experience was smooth, apart from not getting my favorite color black which was out of stock, it was a better smoother experience from the sales department of the Kalyan Hero Puzhakkal branch.
2. Riding experience about seating needs an extra cushion while riding gears get stuck often, the engine gets cut off at low rpm, the petrol indication is wrong, required a minimum of 2 L for the fuel pump to work.
3. Looks are fine, bad quality switch especially the ignition which stopped working within weeks of purchase.
4. Service from Kalyan Hero is fine.
5. Pros: Looks good, fairly comfortable ride.
Cons: The engine keeps cutting off at low RPM.
Very bad brakeing. Literally no brakes.
Low mileage compared with other 113 cc bikes.
My advice go for another bike like a SP 125 if you have money to spend.

About the Reviewer

It's the most terrible buy. The very day I went for a test ride, the bike had stopped all of a sudden and the showroom mechanic had to come to check it. I thought maybe water got into the petrol tank since it was raining. And went on to purchase it purely for its looks, refinement, engine sound, mileage, and moreover trust in Hero. It was the worst decision. Using it for more than 2 years now and till now its problems have been intact. Service staff have never been able to fix it. If they do, then the same problem begins right within 2 days and sometimes times the next day itself. Every time the engine turns off automatically when you hold the clutch.
Pros-
1. Looks
2. Engine sound
Cons-
1. Turns off automatically after you hold the clutch in between traffic.
2. Doesn't start on the starter and even takes many kicks to get started like old Yezdi bikes literally.
3. Doesn't have good road grip.
4. Very light, heavy winds literally shake the front wheel and handle.
