With only 100 units produced, each motorcycle represents the epitome of passion and engineering. The auction - limited to dealers, suppliers, business associates and employees of the company - generated unprecedented enthusiasm and excitement, culminating in the highest bid of Rs. 20.30 lakh for the motorcycle numbered CE100. The cumulative bid amount for 75 units reached a remarkable total of Rs. 8.58 Crore, showcasing the exceptional value, desirability and distinctive allure of these collectors’ motorcycles.

Customer Contest: In an exclusive AI-powered contest, over 118 million Hero MotoCorp customers will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own this historic masterpiece. The contest will unfold in two phases: participants will first email their photos and stories about how their Hero product has impacted their lives to myheroforever@heromotocorp.com. Next, using Gen AI, a personalized visual representation of each participant's Hero journey will be created. Participants will then use an innovative AR filter, #MyForeverHero, to craft and share videos on their social media. A distinguished panel will review the entries, selecting the most inspiring story as the winning entry.
