Hero Xtreme Sports (Rear Disc) Updates

Thursday, 30 April 2020 05:58 PM The Hero Xtreme Sports, a 150cc commuter bike, was discontinued in April 2020, marking the end of its production run in India. This bike was known for its sporty design, including a stylish new headlamp with LED position lights, new body graphics, and a new LED tail light. I believe this discontinuation was likely due to the increasing competition in the 150cc segment and the need for Hero MotoCorp to focus on newer models.

Saturday, 01 February 2014 06:07 AM The Hero Xtreme Sports featured a 149.2cc single-cylinder air-cooled OHC engine, producing 15.8 PS at 8500 rpm and 13.5 Nm at 7000 rpm. It was paired with a 5-speed transmission and could reach a claimed top speed of 107 kmph. I think the engine performance was one of the strong points of this bike, making it a reliable choice for daily commuting.

Sunday, 02 February 2014 12:41 AM The bike was equipped with advanced features for its time, including a digital speedometer, analogue tachometer, and digital trip meters. It also had a side stand indicator, which prevented the bike from starting if the side stand was not pulled up. I believe these features added to the bikes convenience and safety.

Sunday, 02 February 2014 12:00 AM In terms of safety, the Hero Xtreme Sports came with disc brakes on both ends, although it lacked ABS, which was a notable omission given the safety standards of the time. I think the absence of ABS was a significant drawback, especially considering the safety norms that were about to be implemented.

Saturday, 01 February 2014 08:45 PM The Hero Xtreme Sports was priced competitively, with the front disc variant costing Rs 80,100 and the front and rear disc version costing Rs 82,100 (ex-showroom Delhi). I believe the pricing was reasonable given the features and performance it offered.
