I am planning to buy one more Scooter (already having a TVS Wego) and my likings are TVS Jupiter or Hero Maestro Edge.
Early last month, I have visited the Hero Showroom in my place. They advised that Maestro Edge still to come here (Understand Maestro Edge is still to be launched in Southern States ). They had the Hero Duet available ready in stock.
The Duet looks nice (almost the shape of Activa) with lot of new features like Integrated Breaking system, side stand indicator, Pass light, USB 3.0 Charging port, Boot Light, Digital Analog combo console, External fuel filler, Low fuel indicator, Service due indicator, Immobilizer (Anti-Theft System), Full metal Body etc. The price they quoted was Rs.63,000 on the road with 5 year warranty.
Engine power: 110.9 cc, 8.31 bhp @8000Rpm, 8.30 NM@6500 RPM
Dimension: 1830x726x1139mm
Ground Clearance : 155
Tubeless Tyres 90/100-10-53J (both front and rear)
I like the scooter but not happy with 10'' tyre size because both Wego and Jupiter comes with 12'' tyres which I prefer. However Jupiter do not have above features, especially the Integrated breaking system and Side stand indicator. The price (OTR) Rs.64,000 with 3 year warranty.
(Even new Wego comes with combo breaking system).
I have written to Hero motors to let me know when they intend to launch the Maestro Edge and they replied that it will be sometime in January 2016.
Is that 12'' or 10'' tyre size going to make much of a difference in actual performance?? (Hero guy says not going to make huge difference whereas TVS guy says 12" tyre size will give more grip, comfort etc....
Can anyone please give suggestions on this?
