The Hero Centennial is a limited-edition motorcycle launched at the 2025 Auto Expo in honor of Hero Group founder Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal. It is limited to 100 units, of which 75 units have been auctioned in September 2024, with the highest bid reaching Rs 2.03 million.

Apart from Centennial, Hero also showcased its rugged Thor Dakar bike and launched new models including Xplus 210, Xtreme 250 and Xoom 125 and 160. With that said, here’s everything you need to know about the Hero Centennial.

Heroic Centenary: Design

Built on the Hero Karizma 210 platform, Centennial showcases unique design and craftsmanship. Carbon fiber and milled aluminum are used throughout to combine visual appeal with mechanical precision.

At first glance, the Centennial displays a sporty, aggressive look. Its sharp bikini fairing and dual-pod LED headlight give the bike a bold look. The exposed frame, swingarm, engine cover and fork are all finished in red, enhancing the Centennial’s sporty contrast.

A muscular fuel tank with a carbon fiber extension, a single seat with a carbon fiber seat cover and a floating tail further emphasize its aggressive design. Each Centennial has a unique identity with a milled aluminum special edition numbered badge on the side covers.

Centenary of Heroes: Machinery

The Hero Centennial is powered by a 210cc liquid-cooled engine, the same as the Karizma, but with an Akrapovic exhaust for enhanced performance. Weighing in at 158 ​​kg, it is 5.5 kg lighter than the Karizma 210.
