The rear end also looks more appealing than the regular Maestro and features an LED lamp. The Maestro Edge gets alloy wheels with the front wheel measuring 12-inches. Hero has also offered a decent feature list that includes USB charging port in the luggage bin, service due and side stand indicator. The Maestro Edge also gets telescopic forks at the front as opposed to the trailing-link unit in the Maestro.

The Maestro Edge is powered by a 110cc engine that develops 8.4PS and 8.3Nm. Given the list of features and the engine capacity, the Hero Edge is poised to take on the likes of the Honda Activa 3G and the TVS Jupiter.
