It’s been a long time since Hero has given some hardcore performance bike. The only one left is Karizma ZMR, which is an average play. The next in line is the upcoming Hero Xtreme 200R. It is built on a heavily reworked body of CBZ Xtreme and will be the latest one to enter the 200cc market. Read to know more about it.
The 200cc bike market is trending because of great power, decent features and affordable pricing. The bikes in this segment include Apache RTR 2004V, Pulsar NS200, and Duke 200. All of these are naked street bikes. Now, the upcoming entrant in this segment is the new Hero Xtreme 200R, which is also a naked street bike. It looks a little similar to the CBZ Xtreme, as it is built on CBZ’s heavily reworked body. It gets a 200cc engine that helps it sprint from 0-60 KMPH in 4.6 seconds. The 200R gets a muscular dual tone body but misses out on some features when put against competitors. The bookings for the bike have already started and the bike is expected to launch in July. It is expected to cost between Rs 90,000 to Rs 1 Lakh, as Hero’s plan to keep its bikes under Rs 1 Lakh.

Hero Xtreme 200R Competiton:
Hero Xtreme 200R competes with the likeness of Baja Pulsar NS 200, TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and Yamaha FZ 25. Amongst all, the toughest competitor is Apache RTR 200 4V. As Apache offers a similar naked streetfighter styling with a little more technology features, it is dominating the 200 CC market. The Pulsar NS 200 offers great value for money and performance for its asking price. On the other hand, Yamaha FZ 25 is a beast that is a good buy for traffic rides as well as touring bikes. However, it is expensive than the other three competitors which makes it a tough choice. The Xtreme 200R, despite offering fewer features than its competitor, might turn out to be a good success.
