  • Hero Xtreme 200R: Dispatch from factories starts next week

    Hero Motocorp Ltd. is all set to commence countrywide sales of Xtreme 200R. The dispatches from its factories are set to begin from next week. Hero Xtreme 200R is the first among the new range of premium motorcycles from Hero that are slated for launch this year. The Xtreme 200R is priced at INR 89,990/- (Ex-Showroom Delhi).

    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.

    We reviewed the Xtreme 200R some time ago. Read about it here.

    I'm quite sure they weren't anywhere in performance segment in the last 1 decade or more. They've always been a Splendor/Pleasure/Passion company and their attempts have mostly been restricted to innovation in stickering technology.
    It is their first attempt in performance segment where they have put in a 200cc bike to compete with market's 150cc segment. This sounds strange at least to me.

      Perhaps he may be talking on the days when Karizma ruled the power bike segment and in 1990s they were the ones who got the BMW introduced to India (Hero-BMW Funduro 650).
      There are no short-cuts to any place worth going. So ride safe when you are treading uncharted roads.

        When they mention not so long ago, they mean 2 decades [emoji23][emoji23][emoji16][emoji16]
        I might actually be looking forward to ride the Xtreme 200(the name itself sounds like - Pun Intended).

          Hey, is there a good Hero showroom in hyderabad that provides test rides? I visited the one @ Malakpet. Though its big, it looks abandoned and lifeless when you go inside.

            Not sure bhai.
            I've relocated to Pune and here there's an awesome response from the dealer if I want their scooter or Passion/Splendor.
