THE BOFFINS AT HERO decided that similar advancements should trickle into their scooter line-up as well and a wave of the stuff has hit the popular Maestro Edge 125. In addition to improvements in technology, the Maestro also benefits from a refreshed design. The cutting-edge styling comes from eye-catching aesthetic elements, including masked indicators and fresh colours with dual-tone graphics, and they go well with the Maestro’s sharper front end.

The scooter also receives the “HConnect” smartphone connectivity solution which is among the cutting-edge mobile solutions in the segment. The features are as follows.

In case you were wondering, yes, the Maestro also gets turn-by-turn navigation like the Glamour Xtec. Looks like the Hero Maestro Edge ticks all the right boxes in terms of the modern age of digitally connected scooters.

Other notable mechanical features include a disc brake at the front with the safety of Hero’s IBS and a telescopic fork that performs suspension duties at the front. To make life easier for the rider, the Maestro also sports some thoughtful additions, including external fuel-filler cap, i3S technology, and tubeless tyres.
