    Hornet abs model is priced at 1.10 lakhs on road, i think xtreme Will be priced at approx 1.05 to 1.12 lakhs on road, still a good buy. Customers who didn't want practicality will go for rtr 200, duke 200. Others who want practicality will have to go for xtreme, fz 250 (pillion comfort)

      Still its just a rebored 150cc engine which is air-cooled only. As per me price should be 85k ex-showroom max....

        Hornet is also a rebored 160cc unicorn, its priced very high, so xtreme will be a mega hit

          Hornet is not a rebore of Unicorn. Both are different family of engines. CBF125 Stunner/Shine and CBF150 Unicorn engines are very similar. CB160F engine is a rebored version of a 150cc that was used in NXR Bros, IIRC. Simply reboring an engine will not yield good results always as bore/stroke ratio will change. Am curious to see whether this 200cc suffers from excessive heat or "overheating". Lets see what owners have to report here.

            Yes xtreme 200 will heat more than other air cooled engines, since it has similar compression ratio of 10:01 as hornet 160r

              Though oil cooling is not as good as liquid cooling am sure Hero engineers must have tested this engine extensively. Fingers crossed.

              High compression ratio = better efficiency + more power. Am not against it. Earlier motorcycle engines ran on a compression ratio of 7.8:1. Now almost everyone is near 10:1.

                Out of aircooled motorcycle only xtreme and hornet , xblade, uni 160 have high compression ratio , xtremes and hornets compression ratio is closed to liquid cooled cbr 250r. Rtr 160 4v has oil cooling for better heat dissipation. The reason for cbrs engine smoothness is due to relatively low compression ratio + liquid cooling. More compression rat4= more stressed engine= more damage in future.

                  Rtr 200 compression ratio = 9.7 with oil cooling= smoohest engine in class. Hornet 160r compression ratio = 10:01 without any cooling mechanism= compression loss problems, engine harshness, various engine related issues.

                    Also fzs version 2 compression ratio= 9.5, smoothest engine in 150cc class

                        Hornet isn't even rebored - its just tweaked with higher rpm

                              How is the build quality ? I found the duet very cheap and the button on the handle bars are falling apart within 2 months. Best luck with hero reliability for high end bikes.

                                Funny that you say this.

                                Because Hero high end bikes have a reputation of impeccable reliability. The best tourers in this country have been the Zma and the ZMR.
