The Ignitor was released in 2012, just after the company changed its name to Hero MotoCorp. The Ignitor and its twin, the CBF Stunner, are both in the competitive 125cc segment. However, the styling of the Ignitor is better than that of the CBF Stunner, thanks to a number of updates to its looks. The Ignitor looks different from the Stunner because its body panels have been redesigned, the front cowl has new graphics, and the rear-view mirror is the same colour as the car. The bike also has a mix of digital and analogue instruments. Even though it looks cool, the Ignitor is a true commuter bike. The Ignitor is easy and fun to ride in stop-and-go city traffic because it is light and has an upright seating position. The Ignitor has the same air-cooled, four-stroke, SOHC, 124.7-cc engine that makes 11bhp and 11Nm of torque. The engine is hooked up to a gearbox with five speeds and a constant mesh. Hero lets you add disc brakes to the front wheels of the Ignitor, but drum brakes come standard on the back wheels. There are five colour options for the Ignitor: pearl white, vibrant blue, sports red, panther black metallic, and flaming orange. The Ignitor competes with other 125cc commuter bikes like the Honda CBF Stunner, Bajaj Pulsar 135LS, Suzuki Slingshot Plus, and Yamaha SS 125. The disc version costs Rs 60,200 and the drum version costs Rs 58,200.
