Duet Engine

Duet’s air-cooled single cylinder 110.9 cc engine churns out 8.31 bhp of peak power at 8000 rpm and 8.30 Nm of maximum torque at 6500 rpm. It returns a claimed fuel efficiency rating of 63.8 kmpl, slightly lesser than Maestro Edge, most probably due to the higher weight of 116 kg (against 110 kg of Edge).

Hero has not revealed the prices of Duet in today’s event and has said that the official roll-out of Duet will follow after 13th October when Maestro Edge reaches the markets. But they have confirmed that Duet will be available in two variants – VX and LX. Hints are that it may be placed slightly under the new Maestro Edge.
