From what we understand, the new Maestro Edge will continue to be powered by a 110.9 cc, single cylinder air-cooled engine, but the engine will be re-tuned to compliant to the BS-IV emission standard. The new Hero Maestro Edge will generate 8bhp maximum power at 7,500rpm and 8.7Nm peak torque at 5,500 rpm as opposed to 8.31bhp at 8,000rpm and 8.7Nm peak torque at 5,500 rpm. The re-tuned engine is also likely to improve the fuel efficiency of the scooter.

While the Maestro Edge in its new edition will remain unchanged in its style, it will now get few additional features such as Automatic Headlamp On (AHO) and new graphics. Other features of the current model will stay intact.
