Hero MotoCorp has re-launched the HF Dawn in India after it was discontinued back in May 2017. Unlike the previous model, the 2018 HF Dawn is BS-IV compliant. It is priced at Rs. 37,400 (ex-showroom, Odisha). Initially, the commuter bike will only be available in the state of Odisha.

The new HF Dawn is available in two colour options - Black and Red. The bike features a circular headlamp finished in black and wire-spoke wheels with a blackened rim and hub. The engine and exhaust are also finished in black. The bike gets telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers along with a flat seat and a black rear grab handle. The instrument cluster has a basic twin-pod layout.

It's sad to see that the motorcycle would only be available in Odisha, period.

Per me this is a wonderful offering at an affordable price, other than the aesthetics which look stunning but tend to stick out from scuffs and scratches from extended use which most commuters are in for.

Plus the major upside of owning this motorcycle is that it carries over the legendary 'Honda Cub' derived motor used in the Splendor iterations (the Dawn already being in the list), which would ensure that spare availability would never be a concern irrespective of OEM or third party as these motorcycles have been in the market decades at a stretch. Another notable reason for owning these motors is the ease of maintenance thanks to the Horizontal configuration.
