Hero MotoCorp raised INR 8.58 crore by auctioning 75 units of 'The Centennial' limited edition motorcycle.
Hero MotoCrop announced the auction of the 'The Centennial', a limited edition motorcycle in July 2024 which has been concluded. Based on the brand's announcement, the Indian manufacturer managed to raise INR 8.58 crore as a cumulative bid amount by selling 75 units of the motorcycle. One of the units managed to get the highest bid of INR 20.30 lakh. All of the money raised from the auction will be donated to charity. Meanwhile, the remaining 25 units of the motorcycle will be displayed at the Hero MotoCorp facilities. Later on, these units will be given away to the consumers and employees through a contest.

The details of the competition that will award the winner a Centennial have already been revealed by the Indian two-wheeler manufacturer. To participate, individuals must first send their photos and stories about their Hero product to myheroforever@heromotocorp.com. After that, an AI-generated personalized visual representation will be made for each participant. Subsequently, participants are required to utilize an augmented reality filter called #MyForeverHero to produce and post videos on their social media platforms. Finally, a panel will assess the submissions and pick a winner from the pool of entries.

The Karizma XMR forms the foundation for the limited-run CE001, but it distinguishes itself by the use of several new mechanical components. Furthermore, the manufacturer has implemented noticeable visual alterations to set it apart from others. In particular, it features a semi-fairing design reminiscent of the original Karizma model.

To emphasize its exclusivity, carbon fiber parts have been utilized by the manufacturer. An Akrapovic exhaust has also been employed to enhance the vehicle's sound. The bike also gets a single-piece seat with a carbon fiber cowl and a number of badges representing the exclusive edition. Because of the use of all the lightweight material, the bike is lighter than the Karizma XMR and has a kerb weight of 158 kg.
