"Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal, my father and
Founder Chairman of Hero MotoCorp, inspired billions worldwide. His
vision transformed the landscape of the Indian automotive industry,
and the Indian industry, leaving behind a legacy of ingenuity,
innovation, courage and integrity. For him, business transcended
profit - it was about people, both the individual and the
community.
"As we celebrate the completion of one year
of his centennial anniversary, I am overwhelmed and proud to
introduce ‘The Centennial’ - a marvel of engineering crafted
in honour of his legacy. ‘The Centennial’ is not merely a landmark
motorcycle but a memoir, written in steel and carbon fibre. This
magnificent machine's design, engineering and technology all
reflect the indelible mark of our inspiring Founder.
"His inclusive vision embraced everyone in
the Hero community – our customers, employees, dealers, partners,
suppliers, and other stakeholders. Over these 100 days, we
celebrate the man who started it all. I invite everyone to join us
in honouring Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal on his 101st birth
anniversary."
Dr. Pawan Munjal Executive

'The Centennial' was conceptualised, designed and developed by

In honour of Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal's 101st birth
anniversary, the company will auction these bikes to its employees,

community.
Deliveries of ‘The Centennial’ will begin in September 2024.

The Centennial
‘The Centennial’ stands out with its exceptional craftsmanship,
carbon fibre and milled aluminium usage, and meticulous
engineering.
Its distinctive elements include a lightweight aluminium
swingarm for an enhanced riding experience and newly designed
carbon fibre body panels for sleek aesthetics and structural
rigidity. ‘The Centennial’ features are specially developed,
machined, and anodised, including handlebars, handlebar mounts,
triple clamps, and rear-set foot pegs.
Delivering impressive performance and agility, the bike is
equipped with a gas-charged, fully adjustable mono-shock from
Wilbers and a 43-mm upside-down front suspension with damping
adjustment.
A distinct, deep exhaust note emanates from the top-of-the-line
carbon fibre and titanium exhaust system by Akrapovic, which is
specially tuned for peak performance and integrates seamlessly with
the bike.
The solo seat with a carbon fibre seat cowl and milled aluminium
special edition numbered badging on the side covers add to the
bike's uniqueness and exclusivity. Attention to detail is evident
in the diamond-cut alloy wheels and the engine and frame's paint
scheme, which enhance the motorcycle's visual appeal.
With a low kerb weight of 158 kg, ‘The Centennial’ is
exceptionally light, offering superior throttle response and
improved handling and braking performance.
