These modes allow riders to adjust throttle response based on varying road conditions. Additionally, the motorcycle now includes cruise control, which can be engaged at speeds above 30 kmph. For performance-oriented riders, Hero has added a Pro Drag Race Timer, capable of recording 0–60 kmph acceleration times and quarter-mile runs.

Powering the entire range is the familiar 163.2cc, oil-cooled, four-valve engine, which produces 17.1PS at 8,750 rpm and 14.6Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Paired with a five-speed gearbox, the motorcycle maintains its claimed 0–60 kmph sprint time of 4.4 seconds.

Visually, the 2026 model features aggressive styling cues, including angular tank extensions, updated graphics, and an H-shaped LED DRL integrated into the Class-D LED headlamp. The Carbon variant is available in four colour schemes - Carbon Red, Carbon Black, Carbon Grey, and Abrax Orange; while the Pro variant is offered in Pro Red and Pro Black.
