Priced at Rs. 59,638 (Ex-showroom, Mumbai) for the base model, Hero's premium 125cc machine the Ignitor will be on sale from next month onwards

The two striking features on the Ignitor are inclusion of a digital speedometer and a kick-starter while the CBF Stunner employs a fully analogue instrument console and does away with the kick-start option. On the inside, while the power numbers are similar between the two motorcycles, the Ignitor makes 11Nm of torque lowdown the range at 5,000rpm, which is 1,500rpm lower than the CBF Stunner’s 11Nm of torque peaking at 6,500rpm. With the torque being made available lower down the rev-range, the Ignitor should have excellent in-town rideability as well as impressive in-gear acceleration.

The power from the engine is transmitted via a 5-speed gearbox with a one-down/four-up shift pattern on the Ignitor. Handling the suspension duties are telescopic forks upfront and twin adjustable shock absorbers on the rear, while stopping power comes from a 240mm disc brake upfront and a 130mm drum brake working on the rear. The 17-inch wheels are shod with tubeless tyres.
