Flex Fuel Technology: How It Works
The motorcycle comes with flex-fuel technology and it can run on a combination of petrol and ethanol from as rich as E20 (20% ethanol) all the way up to E85 (85% ethanol). Ethanol, made from sugarcane and other crops, is a renewable fuel that reduces carbon emissions and reduces running costs.

Sleek Design with a Modern Touch
While retaining the classic look of the standard HF Deluxe, this model sports dual-tone green and yellow graphics, emphasizing its eco-friendly identity. The “Flex Fuel” branding distinguishes it from conventional bikes, giving it a unique yet familiar appeal.
Efficient Performance for City Commutes
The flex-fuel compatible bike is equipped with a 97.2cc air-cooled engine that makes 7.91 PS power and 8.05 Nm torque. Provides gentle lift for slippery trails and is great for stop-and-go city traffic. Performance is about the same as that of the petrol version, but the real boon is the fuel.
Impressive Mileage and Cost Savings
Hero says the bike will deliver a mileage of 60–70 kmpl depending on the ethanol blend. Fuel cost savings are huge also, since ethanol is less expensive than gas. Furthermore, lower emissions are in line with India’s thrust for cleaner mobility.
Expected Price and Availability
Although Hero has not yet released pricing, a competitive price range between 60-70K, baring discount, is being thrown around, making flex-engine technology more accessible to buyers. It is scheduled to launch in early 2025.
A Step Toward Sustainable Mobility
The HF Deluxe Flex Fuel contributes towards global reduction of carbon footprint with the help of ethanol based fuel. It’s a sensible choice for those who want to save on running costs and not performance—a win for the wallet and the planet.
