Ergonomics
The Hero Passion X Pro doesn’t have sporty aspirations and offers its rider a stance that can safely be described as commuter-ish. The rider sits upright, with hands easily falling on the handlebar and the seat offering adequate comfort and support levels. Surprisingly though, the pillion seat felt a bit on the harder side, something that we also found on the Hero Ignitor. The pillion gets a single-unit grab rail which is chunky enough to be easily held on to.
The pass beam switch on the Passion X Pro’s switchgear is conveniently placed and can be easily operated without letting loose the left handlebar grip.
As we mentioned earlier, the bike gets a semi digital instrument cluster which consists of an analogue speedo and a digital display for odo, trip, fuel gauge and service schedule reminder. The instruments have a good font size and the instrument console manages to look quite upmarket.
Overall, the X Pro is an ergonomically well sorted out machine.
Motoroids Rating- 8.5/10. Overall good ergonomics but overtly commuter-ish riding posture robs off the joy of riding.
