After years of speculations and discussions, Hero has finally decided to drop their plan of launching the HX250R. Talking to the Times of India, Hero representatives were excited about Extreme 200s while admitting that HX250R plans have been all but put to rest.
The reason they are giving is that Indian biking scenario has now shifted towards higher capacity bikes and there's no point in investing into 250 cc segment. Hilarious argument - isn't it? Maybe the Apache 310R has made the people in Hero realize that even if it were launched, the HX250R would not recover the cost of launching a brand new bike with new specifications!
