Hero MotoCorp today unveiled the all-new Hero Xtreme 200R naked street motorcycle in India. The new 200 cc naked bike has been designed and developed in-house by Hero MotoCorp and is based on the Xtreme 200S concept motorcycle that was showcased two years ago at the Auto Expo 2016. Hero MotoCorp claims that it has worked on five key elements which are engine performance, braking performance, sound, ergonomics and handling and stability. The bike has a claimed top speed of 112 kmph and does the 0-60 kmph sprint in 4.6 seconds.

The Hero Xtreme 200R is powered by a new 200 cc, single-cylinder engine which is carburetted and makes 18.1 bhp at 8500 rpm and 17.1 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. Also, the bike gets a balancer shaft, which keeps the vibrations to a minimum. Hero says that the engine is built to dole out low-end torque which will make it easier to ride on traffic laden roads.
