HERO Honda's new offering in the 150-cc segment, Achiever, looks similar to Ambition, one of its other models. Achiever is being rolled out following poor response to the Ambition. The Achiever generates a maximum 13.4 bhp compared to the 11.2 bhp that the 133-cc Ambition delivers.

In terms of speed, the Achiever is faster, touching 60 kmph in just five seconds and a top speed of 101 kmph. With four-stroke technology, combined with greater power, the Achiever would be a performance-oriented efficiency bike. `Tuff-up' tube technology is a standard feature , while disc brakes and self-start are optional. As part of the introductory offer, the Achiever is priced at Rs 47,900.
