User Review of Passion Xtec by Abhishek Swami

Got the bike quick and easy process
Pros: Looks better than most of the average commuter's
*Brakes are ok
*Mileage of 70kmpl fabulous
Cons:
Having the gear issue from day one
Gears keep grinding or decide to just fall to lower gear which almost put me in fatal situations.
Service people don't give a shit instead they fought with me and I continuously rant about the problem. Since been quiet about the gearbox issue
The engine decides to cut off on low rpm even if the clutch is pressed
The ignition switch doesn't work after some months
Now feels like due to all the engine issues mileage dropped to 50 now
Not the best handling in corners and wobbles crazily above 70kmph
Headlight sucks ass. Can't see shit at night times even the high beam is useless
And the tank is empty even though it has 2+ liters
Now having a starting issue
The i3s system doesn't work
Chain noises keep coming back even after changing the sprocket send and bush set 2 days before.
I love the connection I built with the bike.
It's not the fault of the bike it's the fault of the manufacturer. And service people If thinking of buying don't buy.
Almost had this love-hate relationship with this bike for 25000kms and 3+ years now

About the Reviewer

The bike is the worst, has a lot of issues with the engine, and the mileage is not good, The Riddhi Hero service centre is not a service centre it's a roadside garage-type facility.
Never buy any hero bike. My earlier bike was Hero Passion XPRO which is still running well but now Hero has downgraded their built quality, and engine performance so I will never buy any bike from Hero and will switch to HONDA.

About the Reviewer

When riding the bike engine gets off immediately when we try to cut the gear or while we try to hold the clutch to reduce the gear. On the first day itself, the problem started till now the problem has not been resolved by the hero company service center. I think this is a manufacturing defect or this model Hero Passion Xtec is a failed model in my opinion.

About the Reviewer

I bought Passion Xtec such a poor bike gear stuck many times service centre has no professional service engineers. And there is no solution after multiple complaints. I think mileage also going down due to gear hard shifting even though I had this problem from day 1. Burari has no good service centre and in fact, no one dealing with good manners.

About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

If we travel a distance of 20 km, our waist will take a lot of pain. Service and maintenance is only 2000 if we rent it but if we take AMC it will be up to 600 rupees for service. The look is nice to see the LED headlight and the performance is a mid-range excellent. It is a unique look.

About the Reviewer

Riding experience passengers comfortably and heavy mileage and seat comfortably and ground clearance is very convenient and key issues and best bike for mileage and best for triples and used for hills station eg. Kodaikanal
Useful for family purposes, has a little bit of breaking issues and is perfect for disc brakes.
