- Hero Xtreme 200R on-road price : bit.ly/2IMO1VR
Hero promised us last year that 2018 would be the year when larger engine capacities would get some much-needed attention. Since the iconic CBZ and Karizma it has been a long, dry spell. But, at the start of the year, they showed off the production version of the Xtreme 200R. It was a tall order to go head to head with rivals such as Bajaj's Pulsar NS200, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and the Yamaha FZ25. But Hero says, the 200R isn’t about outright performance but a fun riding experience along with a healthy dose of practicality. We got a chance to sample the 200R at the Buddh International Circuit to see what it has in store. The promise of a sub Rs90,000 price tag of this yet to be launched motorcycle adds to the intrigue. But, what's the Xtreme 200R like to ride? Lets find out!
why all bike rivews are based keeping in mind the need of the young riders??
i think this bike is for sensible riders who dont go zooming past another car or bike...this is for people who have been riding 150cc and looking for an reliable and long lasting motor. Not everyone loose their sleep over power and torque figures..do they ?
so the bike should be described in a way it is offered. otherwise people will start thinking negetive.
i find some reviewers really meaningless. why the take for granted that if something is 200 cc it has to be faster than what already available??
it is designed to last long and give economy when petrol has crossed 80 rs.
i just dont understand...why these people consider every rider as a speed lover.
Absolutely Right something which has been on my mind especially after suffering from lower back and tailbone pain. I feel bikes should perform like Marathon runners in for the long haul.
Ideal for people looking for midranges torque.Reasonable mileage,built to last long and at a good price.
Married men with 2 kids in their mid-30’s to mid-45’s usually prefer peaceful city commuting mostly based on purpose...they never think about power and hooliganism like youth...so definitely Hero Xtreme 200 has a place in between 150s, 160s and peppy duke 200, pulsar 200ns and apache 200 4v
prince bharath well said bro.. exactly...
prince bharath true bro...
True..this is for the age group of 30 - 45 and defenitly Hero will gain some market share
so in short uncles need this bike 😂
With price rang of 160cc Hero offers 200cc Bike it's really good..
We can't compare it with Pulsar NS and Apache 200cc because it's high in price..
So it is really a good Bike over compared with same rate 166cc Bike..
And also 2 volve engine is mileage friendly over 4 volve engine..
All the viewers need to understand that Hero have not designed this bike to compete with bikes of 200cc segment this bike will compete with bikes like gixxer , hornet , fz because it's from the same price range and I have got the feeling this bike will have upper hand on those 160 cc segment bike,
Coming to design it's not bad some people are saying headlamp design is not good but it's definitely better than gixxer and seat as well
Hero has missed a trick here. Should have brought back the old cbz with this engine. Would have been a hit. This design doesn't appeal to the senses. The old cbz was a beautiful riding and handling bike with a design that still turns heads.
do you mean 2011 version?
Nope the first Gen cbz. 2003
Its a commuter bike, why are you guys pushing it off on the track, can't understand ?? Must have used it on good city roads
"Existence is pain yaar in the 200cc segment", whispers the XTREME 200R :-)
That t shirt though!
Existence is pain. lol
honda x blade 13.6 bhp no one will check out but hero with 200cc @18.5 bhp its a shame because we go for foreign products leaving ours obsolate
eg: tata aria
still honda offering springs instead of teliscopic to activa and missed out digi speedo
Peoples always like to buy quality products only..if u feel hero gives good quality vehicle just go with them.fz25 just 1.4 lakhs only, ns 200 also just 1 lakh..quality of these products r too gud compare to this hero
Everyone wants good power with good mileage..This byk ticks all boxes when the petrol price is 80+...good luck from yamaha fz fan boy
a round headlight would have made better sense for this bike i guess
Any chance of getting a proper road test and 0-100 timings with top speed as well please?
Isme sabji lane ja sakte hain . . Paros ke tau ko sheher le ja sakte hain doctor dikhane ke liye . . Pure gaon ko ramleela dikhane le ja sakte hain . . Log agar Performance ka sochte to RE company kabka sarak pe ajata 😒
*Sarcasm hain bhai dil pe mat lena 😂
AWESOME BRO.
Shashwat Kumar 😂
jerryl davis 😄
Uff...yaar kafi hansi aayi ye pard kar
hilan chakrabarty 😛
Uncles with Honda unicorn would definitely get a eye into xtreme 200R
Santhosh Sannu ,ha ha ha
😂
Santhosh Sannu 😂😂😂😂😂😂
But uncles wear helmet and don't do reckless riding like boy racer type college dude....most of accident are due to reckless youth with hooligan type bikes
@@vkp08 kuch bhi? this bike is crap and worse than a 200cc has a Power of a 150cc r15 v3 😂😂😂
Don't know why but my father (50 years) loved it 😄
nice review as always
I don't know why people are making many senseless comments. Why you are comparing this with every 200 cc out there, even the manufacturer don't wanted it to be competing. There is no sense of comparing a 2 liter porche with a normal 2 liter toyota or Suzuki. Then about the design even the Ns 200 and apache rtr 200 4v got halogen headlamp.
What about exhaust note.. also i think its a welcome product for the image hero has... They r eyeing masses rather than enthusiasts...as later aint in abundance ... I wud also like to know the engine rpm at 100 kmph
Good review PB sir, pleasure watching u as always
Like if you are slowly liking the design
I was going to buy Apache 160 4v Bt now I think I should wait for Xtreme 200
same here bro
Struck with same confusion ...which one u picked bro
I guess to sum it correctly.. This is for people who are undecided at a 150-160 cc category want a little. Bit more power without compromising much on comfort and mileage... However there are certain 160cc bikes which easily do a 90-100 without Vibrations one of them is the bs3 Unicorn 160cc which makes 14.5 bhp and 14.6 nm torque which I got after using the 150cc spoke wheel version for like 9years...the thing with Honda is they go so low on friction that a decent top end is sensibly acheived which negates most 200cc bikes. The right kind of engine oil added to a superb chain lubricant with and Iridium spark plug and adding a good additive with petrol makes the bike perform optimally.And who wants to race daily?? ... It's just that once in a while you get that open highway where one would like to do triple digit speeds without stressing out the engine.
why this bike is being reviewed based on track performance. no one gives a shit about how it performs on tracks because this is not designed for racing in the first place.
this is commuter bike with a bigger engine which will give power as well as style and also hero special mileage.
dont compare with NS or Apache..because hero will launch suitable competitor for them also in coming days.
but you all one track minded people will then compare that with Dominer. jerks all of u.
Impossible , but ....
I can feel the ADRENALINE RUSH if Hero announce CBZ 250 ❤
After destruction of mighty karizma by hero R&D team this one is way much higher in terms of design and elegance.hero designed its commuters&scooters better than karizma.hope 200r" will" change that worst cost scenario:D
This bike is not that bad given what it has been designed to do. The problems are its look and the niche segment it is supposedly targeting, is almost non existent in India.
I need owner review. 200cc engine with ABS @Rs. 89000 seems great & value for money bike.
why everyone has forgotten HUNK
StromBreaker 👍 it was a real beauty.
hunk was a million times better than this crap mahn
it handled bad no doubt but was comfortable and had a good sitting stance plus it had quite some power in it and zero vibes
This bike would flunk really badly. It would face heat not only from the established 200 cc giants, but the 160 cc power houses as well.
Hero says it has focused on usability and practicality instead of outright performance, but I don't think that other offerings from TVS, Bajaj, Suzuki (that offer performance) have compromised on usability as well. They still serve as good commuters, aggressive riders and can carve corners as well.
very gd design! and very good bike
This bike happens to be the Deepak kalal among the two hundred cc segment . Such a chutiya proposition
I don't why people in India are behind this "sport bike " tag . You need practicality for the city .
everyone here complaining about design of Hero Xtreme would have started appreciating this bike IF this one had been launched by Benelli or some other foreign shit brands.. :-)
Saumil Mayani yeah
Why everyone hates it?
That's because Hero showcased concepts like the HX250R. Instead of bringing it in what Hero brings to the table is this bike which has no innovation in design, uglier front fairing that robbed the previous gen CBZs uniqueness and I can go on. It is not even competing with other 200cc segment bikes. They have ruined the Karizma too. To sum it up Hero doesn't really know where the current market is heading.

if this bike is placed in 160cc price segment, it can capture the whole market of hornet, apache160 and ns160.
this bike will indeed b priced in 160cc segment. with that taken into account it is very good offering.
and yes it is only an entry level premium bike from hero lets not forget they are building from scratch.
we cry about make in India, but when india makes something we start comparing and complaining without standing by its side.
every hero customer has first thing on mind that is mileage and then 2nd thing is price. then comes styling ergo and all.
so hero designs its bikes according to its customer base and also keeping it relevant for others.
imagine how much pressure the company has to make everyone happy.
without even riding it people are rediculing it. the bike hasnt been launched yet.
@@samay7583 the apache and ns160 can never be touched.
they offer 4v engines, oil cooling and the power of a 200cc xtreme 😂 in a 160cc bike.
plus the apache is quite good for commuting
What is Xtreme in it??
Kab tak aaayga Showrooms Mee Khaeidne k liye PrFCT He Mid range 200cc
Want to see a real world road test
Lovely bike
Guys hero company made this 200cc bike by keeping power and mileage factors in their mind. If you ride this bike in the city. You will get linear pickup which is sufficient for your city needs. But on the highway, you will feel disappointed because you have to make big and risky overtaking. It is most suitable for city ride with good fuel efficiency. You can expect class leading mileage from this bike because most of hero bikes come with honda engine technology.
Nice review👍👍👍👍....
please mension that it has class first balancer shaft after RE650.
Even TVS is providing slipper clutch at 200c.
What height guy will be suitable for a hero extreme 200R
I am confused between cbr 250r(nonabs) and Dominar 400.Which one do you guys recommend to buy?
Aravind Gopakumar dominar... 250r ke spares ka problem he bro
I just don't get hero. I think they should just stick to making commuter bikes. Everytime I look at any bike from hero it looks like it's designed by a bunch of 5 year olds. It's like they're not even trying to make it good looking or compete in the performance market.
And what the heck is practical performance?. You can either have practicality or full on performance. It's half assed in my opinion.
model is looking like of 125 cc bike....they shud have made little bulkier specially head light and tank and even rear wheels...tthey shud bring 2000s CBZ ...in 200 cc..tht will Bomb the market...that is still the best looking bike in 150cc till now
Gixxer got lower torque than this still you people say Gixxer is fun on track ? Hypocrites
Jonakkk ! Ghanghor hypocrites
Jonakkk ! What makes a bike fun on the track has more to do handling rather than outright power and torque figures. In any case, we're not comparing the Gixxer directly to the Xtreme 200R.
the Gixxer is a bloody 160cc bike 😑 what an idiotic comparo
which better FAMILY PETROL car for the HIGHWAY mainly???
Baleno Delta petrol
Elite i20 sportz petrol
New Amaze S petrol
Dzire Vxi petrol
Tigor XZ petrol???
Amaze and Baleno
Nano and alto. Superb for family petrol segment. You would be dumb to go with anything other than that....
Dzire; bhai maruti hai! aur family ke liye comfort bhi acha hi!
+Shashwat Kumar Lol. I was kidding. Even if you have a 4 lac budget don't go for these cars. They will drain you. Money and physically wise.
Reviewing this commuter bike in race track is simply ridiculous
Bir kere türkiyede bu motorun sürekliliği için seri üretim şart ve her yıl üzerine yenilikler koymak gerekli. Gidon yormamalı rahat olmalı paça ucuz olmalı yan koruma demirleri fuul geliştirilmeli kurye motoru olarak hizmet verebilmesi ve aksesuarı bol olmalı yüksek olmalı
Sayad hero motocorp ne samuhik prann liya hai ki performance segment mein utrenge hi nahi
It has a max power of 18.1 bhp @ 8000 rpm with 2 valves yet its compared to 160 cc bikes because of its price
IS this vechicle that bad?
Honda dio deluxe review please
Es bonita pero pudieron haber hecho algo mejor, a Hero le hace falta un buen diseñador que se salga de los lineamientos de la India, si Hero pretende vender en Colombia y Latinoamérica más motos deben hacer otro trabajo de diseño
Top speed?
Hero best reliable bike..
Expect date xtreme 200r lunch bs 6version
Am i the only one wondering about the meseeks t shirt :)
Does this have engine on off switch
Looks like glamour from side
Only 200cc engine but Nothing new..low power ,torque figures and 2valve engine, aircooling, degine from current cbz sports..it may fail to attract youth...and more than1.10lakhprice..is it make any sense...for hero...if any body pick this.....that customer is great HERO...
👍👍👍
Not interested .. 😔... We need hx 250r ..
Hero dont have design sense
Nice design except for long exhaust pipe and headlight which is not ugly either. Real practical bike for those in their 40's with a little josh.
It's not for showoff's
It's like splendor
It gives mileage and has sufficient power for city ride and comfortable
It is for people who want a bike to get the job done
Its maintainance friendly
Its a sports commuter, so it has justified its design.
Your right bro hero ke splender ke alawa kuch nahi hai or ab ye 200 cc ka dibba nkal diya
U are correct bro after split of hero and Honda ,hero have no idea about design.. All bikes are failed which they lanch
Hero ko ab cycle hi banana chaiye
Whats about tyre
In my opinion this bike has a good design except for the head lamp
wen bike r release in Andrapradesh
Buying Hero Bike You will Zero wasting money It My personal experience...
Awesome
Next gen of passion pro😂😂
No xtreme and no sports in it ..
But if it gives mileage more than 160 cc bikes then it is considerable
Jyada sell nahi hogi.... Ns 200 or Apache 200 is far better.... But it's milage will 50 then after it will be best
Just a modified Hero Hunk
Try to learn something from tvs...Old designs with average engines won't do it in 2018... Grow up HERO
Hero company ko kiya patanjali e engineers design kar rahahein😂😂😂😂
Please dont buy hero bikes @ all...not worth for money.. this bike worth for 70000 to 80000 rs on road price.
Kon khridega asi bike ko 2018 me...ptaanahi
When your road test goes online?
Head light looks like 100cc bike 🤣🤔😅
What's the true top speed of this bike
Taranshu Pattnaik
Only 110kmph 😂
vatsalya kaushal tu kab chalaya use?
Hero claims that dude..
Read brochure
Rtr160 4v is best in this price range
Any day I will buy x blade over this
pricing is important.. anything above 90k for this, is disaster..
oh wait, Honda Hornet sells for 90k, APACHE RTR 160 4V EFI for 90k and FZS 160 dual disk is at 86k.. hummmmm.
ok. lets say, anything above 80k is a disaster..
but, Honda xBlade is at 80k and good old unicorn 160 at 75k and fun little machine Bajaj NS160 at 81k..
so, this Hero bike will be priced above 90k, just because it got 200cc engine..
in short, this is actually a disaster.. 😁
Hero ki design ekdam bekar abhi ke bike mai pehle hero and honda partners the jab cbz xtreme, hunk aur power horse karizma thi tab acha design tha comfortable riding bhi thi abhi agar karizma ka launch kiya tho hero ek dam first position mai rahega aur sabhi company ko tala lag jayega
Jo saale hero ki insult krre hai unko nahi pata ki hero thi hai or rahegi hero ko koi nahi ROK sakta jitna bajaj or tvs ka budget hai utne ki to splendor bik chuki hai
it will kill those 150- 160cc bikes
good one
It should be a 150cc bike
Useless bike, pls don't buy hero......hero is good for splendor and passion...that's it..dot...I wasted 1.2 lakh.. buying this 200r...and I felt I bought some dust bin so costly
Apache 200 is far far more better
Nice
dont waste yr time in explaining its features, you already know why
Lagg rahaa zixer or rtr kaa bacha huaa hai
I don't think that engineers are designing this hero bikes..stupid designing all bikes new glamour,new splendor pro, new karizma,zmr,new passion worst design
Umutla bekliyoruz ama hep hayal kırıklığı oldu.
Hero.... Make better design
I would buy this bike not because of its performance but, because of the trust that Hero motor carries.
Good for daily commuters with ABS at reasonable price.
More than 120 KM/Hr is useless on Indian roads,18PS is enough even for hilly terrain.
Handle not perfect and seat
Wrong byk
Hire me i would design better bike than this cbz extreme..
Seriously this bike must have been named splendor extreme....
