Hero MotoCorp, known for its high-volume commuter motorcycle specialization, will soon be launching the Hero Xtreme 200S in India. It was showcased earlier this year at the 2016 Auto Expo in Delhi.
The Hero Xtreme 200S will be a premium offering from the Hero MotoCorp. The Indian two-wheeler manufacturer is used to making plenty of successful entry-level commuter motorcycles. It even termed the Xtreme 200S to offer “directional guidance” to its future premium products.
While the Hero did not announce a launch date during the Expo, Malo Le Masson, Global Product Strategy Head, Hero MotoCorp, confirmed that the Xtreme 200 Sport bike would be launched next year in the premium segment.
Pawan Munjal, Chairman & MD, Hero Group also said that a new global motorcycle would be debuted at the close of the Dakar rally in January 2017. So, it is far more likely that the motorcycle to debut will be the Hero Xtreme 200S.
The sport bike is styled quite well, which is uncharacteristic of a commuter motorcycle manufacturer like Hero MotoCorp. However, still the paint and the graphics, as showcased, leave a lot to be desired. Yet, multiple colour schemes may be expected during its final launch.
It will directly take on the Apache RTR 200 4V, while it will also come packed with features in the Hero way. ABS, disc brakes, monoshock rear suspension, digital instrument console, LED lights, tubeless tyres, etc. will be seen making it to the equipment list.
Besides So, the ascension towards higher displacement engines will continue with the HX250R, XF3R and the Hero Hastur, which will displace capacities north of 250 cc going up to 600 cc.
Styled like the Xtreme 150, the Hero Xtreme 200 is even more premium, bold, aggressive and stylish, which will lead to a lot of interests on the motorcycle, as it already has been.
