Hero MotoCorp has launched its premium 200cc motorcycle across India. The 200cc premium motorcycle that made its India debut at Auto Expo 2018 in February has been priced at Rs 89,900, ex-showroom Delhi. The company had launched Xtreme 200R in North-East India for Rs 88,000 in July while the motorcycle wasn't available anywhere for the rest of the country.

The motorcycle gets LED tail lamp with guide lights, digital-analogue information cluster and contoured seat for improved ergonomics. The multi-spoke alloy wheels and exposed chain completes the looks. Overall the Xtreme 200R is sporty yet not too aggressive.

The bike runs on 130/70 R17 radial rear tyre and a 100/80 R17 front tyre. It also comes with a 276 mm disc at front and 220mm disc at the rear. One of the highlights of Xtreme 200R is the ABS (anti-lock brake system) which is offered as a standard safety feature.

Hero MotoCorp will sell Xtreme 200R in five colours options - heavy grey with orange, black with sports red, panther black with force silver, sports red and techno blue.
