Hero Honda Achiever or Hero Achiever still stands out and different in 150cc segment. First it's rarity, it probably sells less in number than a Luxury Car.second it is the best bike and value for money and what not read below.




  1. You get Unicorn bike with twin shocks which are more suited for Indian roads than monoshocks whic tends to give stiff ride on bumpy roads.




  2. Hero manufactures Achiever and will manufacture Xtreme, Achiever and Hunk with same Honda specifications including use of only imported clutch plates.




  3. Hero has large network of service centers and availability of spares for hero products has never been an issue .you can get spares for 15 years old Hero Honda bikes even today.




  4. Mileage, it is lighter than Unicorn and Hero uses slightly better quality CV carbs than HMSI. Hero is  way ahead than HMSI, they borrow technology directly from Honda. Hero Honda discontinued use of BLUE 20W40 engine oil in 2005 and started 10W30 which is superior multigrade oil, but HMSI used this oil till 2012! Now HMSI is also using 10W30 .that is a lag of 7 Years  !




  5. Let's come down to Money matters(Ex-Showroom New Delhi as on 15Jan2013, source websITES_Company).






A. Unicorn(Accessories separate cost): 64002/-


B. Dazzler(has rear disk, accessories separate): 67757/-


C. Hero Xtreme  :  63, 725 - 66, 725


D. Hero Hunk  :  62, 215 -  65, 215


E. Achiever: 58, 425


Achiever is almost Rs. 10K less than Unicorn on OTR price as you need to aishwaryasingh23 extra for accessories in case of Unicorn.


Achiever develops Max. torque: 12.80 N-m @ 5000 RPM


Unicorn: 12.75 N-m @ 5500 RPM


Dazzler: 12.75 N-m @ 6500 RPM


This means better LOW END TORQUE and better fuel economy, city drives becomes more pleasurable as more torque in low RPM is available when compared to all 150cc bikes.only IMPULSE betters Achiever 13.4 N-m @ 5000 rpm. Even FZ has a figure of 13.6 N.m@ 6000 rpm. So less stress on engine and good torque on wheels!


Based on above facts Achiever is a great 150cc choice to make. Own a rarity and feel different.save money get more Low end torque and fuel economy as well. Hero has 3 years 40, 000 kms guarantee on Achiever engine as well, HMSI has no such confident on it's unicorn.


I hope Hero Motocorp will be same as Hero Honda or better going forward in terms of overall service to millions of users.
