The Achiever engine is the same 149.1 cc (bore x stroke: 57.3 by 57.8 millimetres (2.26 in × 2.28 in)) Honda Unicorn engine, with a minuscule difference in power. Production of the bike started in early 2006 but stopped in 2008 due to low sales. Hero Honda restarted the production of the model in 2015, with some graphic variations & also sporting a black alloy wheel along with a 149 cc engine delivering 13.5 HP of power and updated lights design. 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 2017.
