Hero has
revealed the revised price of the Xtreme 200S - INR INR 99,400*, which is
approximately INR 900 more than the launch price of INR 98,500*. Despite the
price increase, the Xtreme 200S is the most affordable fully-faired motorcycle
in the Indian market.
The
Xtreme 200S shares its frame, engine and other hardware with the Xtreme 200R.
The motorcycle, in BS-IV form, uses a 199.6 cc carburettor-equipped,
air-cooled, 2-valve, SOHC motor that delivers 18.4 PS of max power at 8,000 rpm
and 17.1 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The power mill is linked to a 5-speed
gearbox.
The BS-VI compliant model will pack a fuel injection
system along with other new hardware to comply with the more stringent emission
norms. Regular readers would know that XPulse 200 already comes with a
fuel-injection system. Hero MotoCorp is at an advanced stage of developing
BS-VI compliant engines and it has already received the BS-VI certification for
its Splendor iSmart. The BS-VI Splendor iSmart is likely to arrive towards the
end of this year.
Hardware such as conventional telescopic front
forks, a 7-step adjustable rear monoshock, 276 mm front disc, 220 mm back disc
and a single-channel ABS, as in case of the Xtreme 200R naked roadster, is
standard. However, the fully-faired model features a full-LED headlight,
digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity for turn-by-turn
navigation function and better windblast protection with a windscreen as well.
Buyers can select the Hero Xtreme 200S from three
colour options - Sports Red, Panther Black and Maple Brown. The fully-faired
Hero MotoCorp product rivals the Bajaj Pulsar 180F and 2019 Suzuki Gixxer SF in
the Indian market. The Gixxer SF recently received a makeover, and the 2019
iteration comes equipped with a full-LED headlight, revised cockpit and an
appealing design.
