Hero Honda has raised the prices of most its popular models including Hunk, Passion Plus, CBZ,Super Splendour and Glamour. “We have not taken any price hike due to commodity costs since August, 2008, but the burden has increased very much recently and we are passing it partially to the consumers,” Hero Honda Senior Vice-President (Marketing and Sales) Anil Dua said. The Hunk and CBZ Xtreme gets pricier by Rs1000 and other models is costlier by Rs500. However, there will be no hike in the prices of its flagship model, Splendor, and premium bike Karizma. “Steel prices have risen very much in the last couple of months and tyre prices are also moving upwards. Rubber prices are really hardening,” Dua said.
