This is the fully faired version of the Xtreme 200R. It is priced under a lakh ex-showroom in Delhi, and it makes no pretence of being an out and out sports bike.
Sure, it is still for the Aam aadmi; still for the commuter junta; and still for those who will only own one motorcycle. But, Hero says the extra pizzazz that the Xtreme 200S brings in, is something even commuter-centric consumers want.
Lets be honest, after what Hero did with its last fully faired offering - the new Karizma - even mashed potato on a plate looks more handsome. But this one, is a job well done. The 200S has good proportions. Its not heart-achingly pretty, but it is sporty, and is good looking enough to draw a second glance.
The Xtreme Sports is a premium 150cc commuter motorcycle, targeted at young customers looking for a stylish yet efficient motorcycle for their daily commute. While it is based on the standard Xtreme, the Xtreme Sports gets a slew of cosmetic and mechanical updates to help it rival the likes of Suzuki Gixxer, Honda CB Unicorn 160 and the Yamaha FZ Version 2.0. To visually differentiate it from the standard Xtreme, Hero MotoCorp has equipped the Xtreme Sports with a redesigned cowl near the fuel tank and one underneath the engine. Hero has also included a revised headlamp unit and an instrument cluster.
