Contrary to its target customer base and its design, the engine on the Maestro Edge doesn't feel sporty at all. Sure, it is quick to accelerate and packs a good delivery across the range. What's more noticeable here is its smoothness, which surprisingly remains even after 60kmph. This nature is possibly due to the tuning levels of the engine, engineered to deliver better fuel economy, which Hero claims is 65.8kmpl. Overall, performance is satisfactory, if not outright quick, and for the target customer base, the Maestro Edge will be welcome, unless you desire a bit more punch, particularly in initial acceleration.
