The 2018 Hero Passion Pro features tweaks to the bodywork. The plastic portion under the tank is eliminated to make room for the new, bigger engine. Speaking of which, it is the same 109.2 cc engine that does duty in the iSmart 110 and the 2018 Hero Passion XPro. The mill develops 9.5 PS of power at 8,000 rpm, and 9 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. The powerplant works in tandem with a 4-speed gearbox.
