In 2017 Hero again launched Achiever in new name as Hero Achiever 150 in India as a 2nd generation update with new design in headlight, new body panels with same chassis, engine and equipped i3s[1] Idle Start Stop System with (BS4) emission norms Bharat stage emission standards complaint. Despite this, it was never a big hit in the market due to the increasing competition in the Indian market of 150 cc bikes. The Achiever was eventually deemed a failure and production ceased in 2019.
