Hero Ignitor is the latest 125cc bike from Hero Motocorp, a world leader in the manufacture of two-wheelers. After Hero Honda started operating separately as Hero Motocorp, it looks like the Hero bikes are all set to take on the Honda’s.
The sporty and stylish Honda Stunner is Honda’s reply to the Ignitor. Though the bikes appear similar in terms of appearance and overall performance, there are some differences between them too.
Price Comparison
The on road base models of the Honda Stunner start at Rs.54,000 with variants going up to about Rs.60,000. The Ignitor is also priced the same more or less, and ranges between Rs.55,000 to Rs.61,000.
Performance
The Stunner gives out 11 bhp at 8000 rpm with its 124.7 cc engine. The Ignitor’s 125cc ATFT, air cooled, single cylinder engine also provides a maximum of 11 PS power at 8800 RPM. While the Ignitor features a 125cc ATFT engine, the Stunner uses the OHC single cylinder. The ATFT technology ensures more power from more efficient fuel burning, and thus more savings on fuel costs.
The 5 speed transmission feature incorporated in the Honda Stunner provides superior initial acceleration, good overtaking pickup, and excellent power at different speed ranges. The initial acceleration (0-60) of the Ignitor is 6.20 seconds while that of the Stunner is 5.20 seconds. As far as initial acceleration is concerned, the Stunner wins hands-down.
The Hero Ignitor uses paper type air filer which is the same as in Hunk and CBZ Extreme, while the Stunner uses the viscous type. The basic difference between the two types of filters lies in terms of maintenance. The viscous filters provide a more hassle free ride and require less maintenance in comparison with the paper type filters of the Hero Motocorp.
Mileage
The Ignitor offers a mileage of around 55 – 60 kmpl which is almost the same as that of the Stunner (which is around 60 kmpl).
Variants
The Ignitor is available in three variants including self disc, self drum, and kick start. The Honda Stunner variants include the CBF Fi and CBF Drum, both with 124.7cc, 4-stroke engines.
Other Features and Specifications
Both the bikes have split seats, separate for rider and pillion, that ensures comfort and also add to the sporty appearance. The bikes share almost the same dimensions, height, length, width and weight too.
The Hero Ignitor comes furnished with an analog RPM meter and a digital speed panel. The Stunner has a more analog type dashboard. The right dial has the fuel indicator and the left dial incorporates the trip meter and the ODO meter. The center panel holds the single signal indicator and the high beam indicator.
The Stunner has wider tubeless tyres with black alloy wheels whereas the Ignitor has sportier five spoke, alloy wheels.
Verdict
It is a general opinion of the public that Hero parts are easier to obtain than Honda bikes. For the same reason, Hero bikes are also priced a little on the lower scale compared to Honda’s. Honda bikes however are known for their reliability. If you want to buy refined, you may consider the Honda Stunner while those of you looking to cut down costs may opt for the Hero Ignitor.

please correct the article…
when did they launch ignitor…whats the ex showroom price
honda stunner is not honda’s reply to ignitor, it is hero’s COPY of honda stunner….
ya you are correct hero iginator is same copy of honda stunner
Correct.. ignitor is copy cat… Honda is honda.. I net ignitor will not will fail to give compettion to Stunner.
Because if you copy then you will never success…
I’m a lover of Stunner.. n ignitor os just like a joke..
both are crap…….
Let the ignitor come to roads. Then everyone can compare it with the stunner. Without that we can’t write it as faltu bike etc.
Moreover two bikes in the same range enhances the option for bikers.
The stunner shown in the figure is the old version…the new version comes with tachometer and more stylish graphics…and ATFT is the name given by Hero moto corp for the same engines used by Honda…see the ATFT engines used in Hunk and Extreme which are the same mill used in Unicorn ( Business trick ??)…infact these are the two same engines but Stunner is more Torquer than Heros’…
U missed tachometer nd engine cowl pics of stunner. . . .#in ur pics. .
To me it looks like the author of this article missed the point that Ignitor is nothing but rebadged Stunner with few tweaks here and there. Can’t believe someone actually thought we could compare both bikes & come out with a verdit. Shall I say, Bravo!! and the best joke i’ve come across in this article is “The sporty and stylish Honda Stunner is Honda’s reply to the Ignitor”.. LOL!! Honda Stunner is reply to Hero Ignitor, what a joke, can’t stop laughing
,
I think they have changed it PULSARBOY…
correct….. its the joke of the day
Its hightime hero starts to learn to stand on their own leg instead of copycat works
The Head Light of the Ignitor is from Glamour 2011,speedometer looks like Hunk. I think if they can overcome the vibration then I guess it will be a better bike then Stunner,so when will it come in sale??
@Admin- Honda stunner is equipped with a tachometer since last 2011, the photo is old.
Nothing but badge engineering! When will Hero make own distinctive products?
lets se what is inside the ignitor . it is better if it delivers more ascompared to the stunner with low mainteinance and fuel consumption.
This article seems the promo for Ignitor, as it is clear that Ignitor is true copy of Stunner itself. Then how can these two bikes can be compared. Whereas Honda has clear advantage over HMC. Other example of this that X-passion is to be launched soon with having engine of Honda Twister.
Faltu comparision. hero is father of honda and father is always father. See the difference between father and child when both are on road.
Honda stunner is the best ,,it got its own style ,, muscular body,,everything is been perfectly designed ,, coming to the prize, millage , style Honda has it mark ,, it have a sporty look,, that to with a good millage ,, i like Honda stunner very much,, i loved it,,
one request to the Hound (stunner) people ,,it better to have a”" short “”double bar sportive handle (like pulser,, Yamaha r1 )so it will give a good styles look to the person who is rides the bike ,, it will be the best bike in India
mr kunwar bloodsports i read your comment on honda stunner that it vibrate at 70 kmph that a very big wrong you said the stunner bike that you may have or you may riden may have some problem because i have a honda old 100cc engine that it brought to india in 1983 in a bike called cd 100 now it is call a new hero honda cd dawn & touch wood i have touch a 95 kmph on the speedometer one & touch wood 85 kmph on the speedometer many times & one more touch wood it did not vibrate any time in any speeds touch wood again
LMAO reading this article.What is the whole point comparing a clone to the original?
Very useful!
Very use ful to me
hey guys…let’s drive ignitor….i know it is copy of stunner….. performance wise compare it later…..! Isn’t it rational…..?
After Hero and Honda, split up, Hero has access to any of Honda`s products and technology support until 2015. Basically Ignitor is a copy of Stunner and Hero accepted it while launching Ignitor at Auto Expo. Hero until now doesn`t even have its own engine, all the ATFT is hero name for the same engine. But the sad part is Hero has to discontinue all these bikes by 2015. This comparison is a joke, the author needs to understand that there is no bike or engine available with Hero. They have started their R&D only recently and it will take some years to come out with their bikes.
ignitor – stunner se bheter ban sakti hai agar esmai khuch badlao kiye jain jase head light with poi let lamp, back grub rail, back tail light, winker & back fender
igniter is copy of stunner but stunner is looking storty headlight than ignitor.Ab ignitor kab ayegi or stunner ko takker degi ye to tym ki baat hai.tab tak stunner is best.
the Ignitor may look a lot like the Stunner, but are very different bikes..
Hero is a worst company
its a copy of stunner ……
WTF
hero nikle to honda se hai ……………………. haha
both are crap . . move on
U missed tachometer nd engine cowl pics of stunner. . . .#in ur pics. .
The finishing for Stunner is so good, But hero bikes fails here..
just look at ZMR, total loss.. n If you see CRR (fantastic look)
If ignitor would have launched in 150 cc then chances was thr but this ignitor 125 cc will be total loss..
Hero ignitor should be penalized for copying the style..
Red n black stunner looks dam sexy..

You guys keep splitting s**ts here abt Hero. But You’ll have the truth front of you soon. Live Raw!
PLANNING FOR AN IGNITOR…..HONDA SERVICE SUXXXX!
Hi friends i thought of buying Stunner CBF but later i came to know that new version of Stunner has been launched in the name of Hero honda-ignitor , then i went to the showroom to view the hero ignitor when compared to stunner i found only two changes which are ….
1. in stunner kick start option is missing and only analog meter
2. in ignitor we have kick start as well as self start and it has Digital meter and the front body is looking damn sexy while compare with stunner. finally i love the ignitor and booked . i will get my ignitor within 5 days… waiting for that awesome bike…
Muze hero ignitor lini he.?
i think its good but it effects your’s image bcoz it was copied of stunner ,when your divided from honda ,i think u can proof your capacity ,when you r lanched ur impluse my gusting is correct but this model ur copied that’s y i’m saying like this.
Hi Frnd! Impulse is also inspired from honda CRF250 (With 150cc engine instead of 250, thats it.)
other companies invent the technology and hero follows … first digital meter pulsar last digital meter hunk… first rear disk brk in 150cc apache last is cbz.. first nitro suspension pulsar last is hunk… and many more … hero is just an indian hero “jugaad se chal raha hai bhai”
Intially i was having a option to go with Stunner but suddenly changed my opinion with ignitor becuase lookwise- sporty & mileage -50-55 same as stunner & price- same as stunner. Go for Iginitor
is hero ignitor vibrating like honda stunner at 70km/h…………………………………………
REPLY
Don’t you have seen the AirScoops in Ignitor?
Ignitor is new at market so now it is impossible to decide which bike is good and which bike is better after some time when we will be able to see ignitor on road then we can decide the champ
all r wrong ‘Ignitor’ is BEST than ‘Stunner’ (bike pickup, max speed, gaer sifting so nice than Stunner), i already ride Both bikes.
ignator is fadu hai boss go and get it now
ignitor is best bike in this version ]……..i have already book new hero ignitor so let the competition n buy ur fev. bike ////// yaar ye india hai yha sab bikta hai
on road price is not right
am getting confused…….i would like to buy an bike from hero ignitor or honda stunner…..plz tel me the correct bike friends
stunner fans out there it is the worst bike on indian roads at present
Being a mass leader in two wheeler market, hero should introduce new products on its own(rather tahn rebadging or copying) else honda will defintely take the 1st position (as they are in full form now, with launch of dream yuga & upcoming launches)
How can Hero make a clear clean copy? This is like people who do mimicry of stars to survive n feel stomach.
N whose stunner vibrates on 70km/hr? Please get servicing done with proper mechanics. Mine never vibrated even on 100km/hr since last 2 yrs.. Ny1 can come n have a ride.
economically hero is good but honda is more stylish & and original.. Ignitor is copy of stunner…
pls get the current picture of honda stunner
haters gonna hate stunner…….. thnk abt it,, at this price wht else u want??? u got style nd performance toooo……. n ignitor fans out there u aint riders man…….. a copy of nythng can’t be betr than orignal…. riders know the fact
the price of ignitor in bangalore as on oct 5 is 70,200 inr
My Advice is this bike is very stylish and performance
Heyyy guys,,, i have a new honda stunner cbf nd i say this bike is awesome……about the hero ignitor i say its a copy ,,,,no no no….its not a correct copy….its failure………….shame hero ignitor……..honda rocks….my bike give me 65-70 kml….and its looks truly very very good than ignitor……
Dear,
Think again while saying shame hero because hero motocorp always believe in providing better quality. As many bikes present in market or even cars which are same but of different makes. For your information, i have Hero ignitor & it gives me better results than Honda stunner which i sold out last month. Techanically i know the price of parts used in ignitor is much more than stunner but the price of bike in market is same. Hero is first think about customer satisfaction then the cost/profit. Please think while commenting.
Stunner is more greater than ignitor in the matter of pick up ..
Honda stunner is the best ,,it got its own style ,, muscular body,,everything is been perfectly designed ,, coming to the prize, millage , style Honda has it mark ,, it have a sporty look,, that to with a good millage ,, i like Honda stunner very much,, i loved it,,
Hi frnds,
Its true that Hero Honda Bikes were damm good for everything even I have the one. But only thing I was disappointed about, is the worst service by Hero Honda Service Centers, nw It has been converted to Hero motocorp’s Service stations but still there is an issue of poor service quality with them too. Think twice B4 buying any Two wheeler of this manufacturer. Bcoz I personaly feel that the servicing during initial 1 or 2 years affects on your bike’s life! i think Honda is good at providing a better service as compare to Hero motocorp.
Nice bike
hero ignitor look like as hero
buy every three year new bike .dont think wich is better

Sir, i want to ask i decided to buy a Hero Ignitor but from public opinion i didn`t likely to buy it . The main factor considering in this is its average and bit sporty look only for me nothing more intresting. Please suggest me to buy it or not or go for Hunk or Xtreme is a better decsion or a bike near about this prices which are good for a youngster *(including mileage factor).
Abe stunner ‘salo’ a “copy” is not any disadvantages!!! ignitor is copy and modified version of stunner.. stunner is good but featureless bike i.e no digital console,old body graphics etc. So ‘IGNITOR’ guys raise your hand for the best ‘mal’…
At last hum logoko better feature se matlab hai naki koyi copy se..
Ek kahani yaad aya … ‘Seer jata hai aur kutta voikte hai’…
ei sab chalta rahega…
Its of no use pal… Stunner IS STUNNER ITSELF.. No ignitor is gona punch it…stunner was been launchd years ago and a proper style goes to stunner..also wth the engine power and the mileage…so u guys taste nd see tat…
Yea tats rite..its a copy of stunner..and ma stunner is more effective than ignitor…its power is higher than ignitor..it goes a high speed b/w 70 to 90 so suddenly wth a best mileage of 51.. And not vibrating at all..its just having tat viscous motor sound because its filter is like a racing bike so its engine produces a high sound..tats all..
i am using ignitor from last six month, and i ride both bikes,
ignitor is the best. acceleration after 2nd servicing is increased.
stunner flops ignitor win.
