The engine now reaches its peak figures at a lower rpm than before which will have a positive impact on the fuel efficiency front. Apart from the previously available seven paint schemes, the Hero Maestro Edge will also get dual tone colours, including Sporty Matte Grey and Red, and Active Matte Grey and Blue.

Other features in the 2017 Hero Maestro Edge includes digital & analogue combo instrumentation, integrated braking system, LED taillamp, mobile charging port with boot light and tubeless tyres. The Honda Activa rival also gets a convenient external filling slot near the taillamp and an immobiliser.
