Hero Xtreme 200S 4V

Hero MotoCorp has now launched the Xtreme 200S 4V at Rs 1.41 lakh (ex–showroom). Compared to the 2-valve variant which is currently on sale and is priced at Rs 1.38 lakh (ex-showroom), the Xtreme 200S 4V is about Rs 5000 more expensive.

Heading straight to the powertrain, the 200cc single-cylinder oil-cooled mill now features a 4-valve head that allows the motor to produce slightly more power, while running efficient and smooth. The engine is now capable of producing 18.8 bhp of maximum power at 8,000 rpm and 17.35 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. In comparison to the 2-valve variant, the motor produces 1.01 bhp and 0.9 Nm more. In addition to that, the 5-speed gearbox has been tweaked to offer better strength and durability, with revised gear ratios for better tractive effort and acceleration, according to Hero MotoCorp.

Coming to the other updates, the motorcycle now gets a split-type handlebar along with improved riding ergonomics for better agility and handling. The bike now features a rear tyre hugger, twin LED headlamps with LED DRLs and an LED tail lamp with lights guides for the signature look. Other features include Bluetooth connectivity with turn-by-turn navigation and call/SMS alerts.

For cycle parts, the Xtreme 200S 4V is suspended by a telescopic fork setup at the front and a monoshock at the rear. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes at both ends, accompanied by single-channel ABS.
