Hero Xtreme 200S 4V Launched In India At Rs 1.41 Lakh – More Power & Torque

In a bid to improve traction in the 200cc motorcycle segment, Hero MotoCorp has launched the new Hero Xtreme 200S 4V motorcycle in India at an attractive price of Rs 1.41 lakh (ex-showroom).

This makes the newly launched Hero Xtreme 200S 4V motorcycle Rs 6,000 more expensive than the outgoing version of the Hero Xtreme 200 motorcycle (2-valve model). This is a fair price hike considering the new powertrain and cosmetic changes on the new motorcycle.

Speaking about the powertrain, the new Hero Xtreme 200S 4V motorcycle comes equipped with a 200cc, 4-valve, single-cylinder engine. Thanks to the 4-valve set-up, this engine now puts out 18.8bhp at 8,000rpm and 17.35Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm.

This means the new Hero Xtreme 200S 4V motorcycle produces 6 per cent more power and 5 per cent more torque than the outgoing version. That being said, the new Hero Xtreme 200S 4V motorcycle continues to send power to the rear wheels via a 5-speed gearbox.

In terms of hardware, the new Hero Xtreme 200S 4V motorcycle comes equipped with conventional telescopic suspension at the front and a 7-step adjustable monoshock at the rear. This is quite surprising considering the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V comes with more advanced USD forks at the front.

What is even more disappointing is that the company is not even offering dual-channel ABS as an option and the motorcycle comes with single-channel ABS as standard fitment. Colour options on the motorcycle include Moon Yellow, Panther Black Metallic, and Stealth Edition.

It is also worth mentioning that the new Hero Xtreme 200S 4V motorcycle comes with a few cosmetic upgrades. These changes include the likes of a new split handlebar and the addition of a tyre hugger.

Thoughts About The New Hero Xtreme 200S 4V Motorcycle

The newly launched Hero Xtreme 200S 4V motorcycle does not seem like a competitive 200cc motorcycle. However, once you take the engine capacity out of the equation, this bike makes a lot more sense, especially against the current crop of 150-160cc motorcycles.
