BUILD QUALITY

The Pleasure Plus XTEC is built on Hero’s proven under bone frame, offering a balanced weight distribution that promotes stability under braking and cornering.

However, long term user feedback points to mixed experiences: while many riders appreciate the scooter’s solid feel, some report rattling noises and the use of lower grade plastics around the apron and storage areas.

COMFORT

Ergonomics is a strong suit for the XTEC variant. The scooter features a long, wide dual tone seat complemented by a pillion backrest, ensuring rider and passenger remain well supported during city commutes. The footboard is spacious, and the handlebars are positioned for a natural reach, reducing rider fatigue in stop and go traffic.

The suspension setup—bottom link front forks and a swing arm rear with spring‐loaded dampers—further enhances ride quality. It smooths out urban road irregularities, earning praise for its controlled and comfortable ride.

STYLING

The XTEC badge features a suite of chrome accents, and exclusive design touches that elevate the scooter’s visual appeal. Chrome trims adorn the headlamp housing, mirror stalks, apron edges, side panels, and exhaust shields. At the same time, a metal finished front fender adds a premium touch.

To stand out on the road, the XTEC is offered in a unique Jubilant Yellow paint scheme—alongside standard shades—making it immediately recognizable in urban traffic.
