Announcing this at a conference of the company’s dealers from the domestic market in India at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida today, Pawan Munjal, Chairman, MD & CEO, Hero MotoCorp, said “For us, the Xtreme 200R is not just any other product launch – it will catapult us to where we have been earlier - the premium segment. It is, therefore, our re-entry into a segment where we had a sizeable presence and market share not too long ago. Designed specifically for the youth, the Xtreme 200R is an expression of our serious intent in a high growth segment. With the upcoming festive season in India, the Xtreme 200R will help us consolidate our market leadership. We will also soon commence sales of the Xtreme 200R in our global markets as well.”

The new Xtreme 200R is powered by a BS-IV compliant 200cc engine. It produces 18.4 Ps of power at 8000 rpm and 17.1 Nm of torque at 6500 rpm. Ergonomic-riding triangle between the handlebar, seat and foot-pegs offers a balance of agility and comfort. Braking is handled by the 276 mm Front Disc and the 220 mm Rear disc Brakes with a standard ABS system. It has 37mm front forks with a 7-step adjustable Mono-shock at the rear. LED pilot lamps and LED taillight in addition to the digi-analogue information cluster make their way to the Xtreme 200R.
The bike is available in five dual-tone color schemes - Panther Black with cool Silver, Panther Black with Red, Sports Red, Charcoal Grey with Orange and Techno Blue.
Sanjay Bhan, Head of Sales, Customer Care and Parts Business, Hero MotoCorp, said, “We are ready to commence the retail sales of the Xtreme 200R across the country and are confident that this motorcycle will enable us to make our presence felt in the premium segment. The customer response to the bike in the Northeastern part of the country, where it was recently launched, has been overwhelmingly positive.”
The Company is now focusing on the premium segment with a host of new motorcycles. The next launch from Hero’s stable of premium bikes will be the XPulse 200, country’s first 200cc adventure bike.
