Hero Dash Scooter Production Begins in India

Hero's upcoming 110cc scooter Dash has reportedly hit the assembly line at its Gurgaon-based plant.

A Autocar Professional report, citing industrial sources revealed that the production of Hero Dash scooters began at its plant in the country. Dash is the second 110cc scooter from Hero's plant after Maestro and is expected to hit Indian showrooms soon.

The model, which made its maiden appearance at the Delhi Auto Expo, 2014, was caught on camera quite a few times while on its usual test rounds in the country. The scooter sits above Hero Maestro and will draw its power from 111cc 4-stroke, air-cooled engine that can churn out a power of 8.44bhp and a peak toque of 9.4Nm.

In the 110cc segment, Dash will be squared off against Honda Activa, Yamaha Alpha and TVS Jupiter. From what we have heard so far, Hero Dash will ride on 90/90/12 front and 90/90/10 rear tyres with alloy wheels and brakes both in the front and rear and telescopic forks at the front.

In terms of dimensions, Hero Dash is likely to be 1,850mm in length, 822mm in width and 1,270mm in width and is likely to get 155mm ground clearance. Other features includes mobile charging socket, low fuel and service due indicators, digital instrument console and under-seat storage space. The Dash is expected to fall in the price brackets of ₹55,000.
