The Hero Xtreme Sports is a premium 150cc commuter motorcycle recently launched in India which was earlier showcased at the 2014 Auto Expo.
This motorcycle is mainly targeted at the young customers, mostly looking for a stylish yet efficient motorcycle for their daily commute. While Xtreme Sports is based on its standard variant – Xtreme, the Xtreme Sports gets a few cosmetic and mechanical updates to help it stand up against other motorcycles in its segment, like the Suzuki Gixxer, Honda CB Unicorn 160 and the Yamaha FZ Version 2.0.
The cosmetic updates which the Xtreme Sports gets over Xtreme by the company is a redesigned cowl near the fuel tank which is the bikini fairing which was missed on the Xtreme and the other one is underneath the engine. It also gets a newly designed headlamp unit with separate pilot lamps and the ignition system to the right of the headlamp and an instrument cluster as a part of the package. It also gets a wider rear tubeless tyre, a new handle bar, split seats and revised front and rear fenders. In true Hero fashion, the Xtreme Sports also gets a host of new colour options and decals.
The skin of the Xtreme Sports is very much changed while the Xtreme Sports still employs the same 149.2cc used in the standard motorcycle, the power has been boasted up from 14.2bhp to 15.2bhp while the torque has been increased from 12.8Nm to 13.5Nm. The engine is mated to the same five-speed constant mesh gearbox. Other mechanical upgrades include a new five-step adjustable rear suspension and the option of a rear disc brake, for improved stopping power.
The Xtreme Sports is offered in five paint schemes – Panther Black, Mercuric Silver, Fiery Red, Pyro Orange and Black & Red colour.
