Hero has stepped into Argentina with 4 products

In fact Hero has stepped into Argentina with 4 products for starters - the Ignitor (Glamour), Hunk, Hunk Sports and the sole scooter offering - Dash (sold in India as the Maestro Edge). There has been a lot of buzz around Hero's big Argentina debut and the fact that the Glamour is the company's first global product launch outside India.

The Glamour is an important product for Hero since it is a segment leader in sales volume and also overall for Hero's portfolio. Hero also says the 125 cc segment is showing faster growth in the motorcycle market in India, and also holds big volumes in the new markets it is stepping into. The new Glamour will play a big role in the company's strategy for 2017.
