New Hero Xtreme 200 S
The new Hero Xtreme 200 S which
was unveiled at the 2016 Auto Expo earlier this year, has now been unveiled at EICMA show. Expected to go
on sale in India early next year.
The Xtreme 200 S is an edgier version
of the existing 150 cc model. The motorcycle dons sporty tank extensions,
familiar bikini fairing with LED pilot lamps, digi-analog instrument console,
thin contoured seat, sharp edged tailpiece with LED taillight, belly pan in air
vents and a simple silencer with silver guard. The white-red-black color theme
feels a bit overdone though.
Power comes from a new 200 cc single-cylinder
air-cooled engine which generates 18.5 PS power at 8,500 rpm and 17.2 Nm torque
at 6,000 rpm. Transmission is a 5-speed unit.
The Xtreme 200 S is equipped with regular telescopic
fork at the front while the rear gets monoshock suspension system. Both wheels
are retarded by a disc brake each. The motorcycle also benefits from ABS.
Hero Motocorp is gearing up to arm itself with a
range of compact sportsbikes which includes the Xtreme 200 S, HX250 and
possibly an even bigger displacement motorcycle based on the XF3R concept.
