The Hero Xtreme 200S was launched in India
in May 2019. It is a fully-faired version of the Hero Xtreme 200R. Now, Hero
MotoCorp has announced the BS6 Xtreme 200S and said that it's coming soon. Earlier,
the Hero Xtreme 200S along with two other 200 cc motorcycles - Hero Xtreme 200R
and Hero XPulse 200T - was removed from the company’s official website. But
now, both have been listed back, additionally revealing that their BS6 versions
are coming soon. However, the specs haven’t been disclosed yet.
The fully-faired design of the Xtreme 200S
is quite attractive, especially from the front end where we get to see a
full-LED headlight. The bike also features a fully-digital instrument cluster
that shows information like speedometer, odometer, tachometer, trip meters,
time, etc. The instrument cluster also supports Bluetooth connectivity and
turn-by-turn navigation.
The Hero Xtreme 200S shares its cycle
parts with its naked version, the Xtreme 200R. Shock absorption tasks are
performed by conventional telescopic forks at the front and a 7-step adjustable
monoshock at the rear. Stopping power comes from 276 mm disc at the front and
220 mm disc at the back. The safety net includes a single-channel ABS as
standard.
Hero MotoCorp uses the same engine in the
Xtreme 200S, Xtreme 200R, XPulse 200 and XPulse 200T. The specifications of the
BS6 Hero XPulse 200’s engine have been revealed, and they should apply to the
BS6 Xtreme 200S’ engine. If that happens, then the BS6 Hero Xtreme 200S’ 199.6
cc single-cylinder engine will come with a fuel-injection system and an
oil-cooler. It will produce 17.8 BHP of maximum power and 16.4 Nm of peak
torque. The engine will be linked to a 5-speed gearbox.
There wouldn’t be any cosmetic changes in
the upcoming BS6 Xtreme 200S. However, even just the upgraded engine will
likely make it much more expensive than the BS4 version, which retailed at INR
99,400* after getting a price hike last year.
