The new Hero RR 450 rally bike is an upgrade of the proven rally bike from last year. The bike has new design and styling of tank, body parts and front section to improve mass centralization, handling and riding ergonomics. The new ‘Hero 450 RR’ has already proven its capabilities at the OiLibya Rally in Morocco earlier this year. Last year’s Dakar rally experience and key learning from the Team’s debut year have been implemented in the bike. Company claims that there have been several improvements done to the bike, which have affected an increase in riders’ confidence.
Speaking on the occasion, CS Santosh, Ace Rider, Hero MotoSports Team Rally said,
I am satisfied with this year’s preparations, where I had the opportunity to work with industry professionals and experts, which brought in a better structure to the preparations. I am very happy with the new bike that we raced with at the OiLibiya Rally in October. The new bike is light, agile and makes going fast safe! This Dakar I will aim to make each and everyday count! Ultimately it’s about enjoying the process and arriving at the finish line.
