MAXABOUT RATING AND OVERVIEW | |||
| Vehicle Overview | |||
| Hero HX250R is still one of the most awaited products in India. The quarter liter segment actually lacks competition while Honda CBR250R enjoys an exclusive space for fully faired sport bikes in the country. HX250R will rival the same and seems quite good on paper with its 249cc engine producing 31 BHP and 23 Nm of torque. The weight was quoted to be 139 kg by Hero MotoCorp, providing the HX250R with loads to power on every front. It claims a top speed of 165 kmph while the rivals on the list includes KTM RC200, Benelli TNT 25 and Mahindra Mojo. It may get priced around INR 1.40 lakh. | Kawasaki Z250 SL is a single cylinder street bike that uses a powerful 249cc engine producing 27.62 BHP at 9700 rpm and 22.6 Nm at 8200 rpm. It comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox and claims a top speed of 153 kmph. The bike is still not on sale in India and would be the best option for Kawasaki if they plan to bring a localized product. It weighs just 148 kg and could help rider with less than average height with its 785 mm of seat height. The bikes in competition includes Benelli TNT 250 and Mahindra Mojo 300 in India. | NA | |
