Hero Achiever 150 Launched, Pricing starts at Rs 61,800

Now features i3s Start/Stop technology
Hero Motocorp has updated the Achiever 150 motorcycle. The new Achiever 150 will cost Rs 61,800 for the drum brake version and the disc brake variant will cost Rs 62,800 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Hero Motocorp has now integrated its i3s idle start-stop system in the Achiever 150. Basically, the Idle Start-Stop System kills the engine after few seconds of the motorcycle coming to a halt. This system can potentially save fuel when sitting at a traffic light or bumper to bumper traffic. The engine comes to life again as soon as the rider pulls in the clutch.
The Hero Achiever is the first 150cc motorcycle to feature start/stop technology. Apart from the i3S technology, the motorcycle also received some cosmetic updates. The tank of the motorcycle seems to be lifted straight from the Hero Xtreme, giving a more youthful look to the Achiever. The paint scheme and graphics further add to the sportiness.
