Overview
Introducing the 2013 Hero Xtreme, a motorcycle that boldly sits in the sport category, capturing the hearts of thrill-seekers and everyday commuters alike. With its striking design and a commitment to performance, the Xtreme stands as a testament to Hero's engineering prowess, a brand that has evolved from its roots as Hero Honda to become a prominent player in the Indian motorcycle market. This machine is tailored for those who crave excitement on two wheels while also seeking reliability and efficiency for daily use. At the heart of the Hero Xtreme lies a robust 149.20 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a spirited 10.60 HP at 8500 RPM, making it a lively companion for both city rides and open roads. With a torque output of 12.80 Nm at 6500 RPM, riders will appreciate the responsive acceleration and smooth power delivery that the bike offers, perfect for weaving through traffic or enjoying a twisty backroad. The air-cooled engine, combined with a 5-speed gearbox, provides an engaging riding experience, while the advanced microprocessor ignition system ensures optimal performance and fuel efficiency. The bike’s lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 148 kg (326.3 pounds), enhances its nimbleness, making it a joy to handle in various riding conditions. The Hero Xtreme is packed with features aimed at enhancing both comfort and control. Its tubular diamond-type frame ensures structural integrity while contributing to its sporty aesthetics. The front and rear disc brakes, with a 240 mm diameter up front and an optional 130 mm drum at the rear, provide confident stopping power, ensuring safety without compromising performance. The suspension system is equally impressive, with telescopic hydraulic forks at the front and a five-step adjustable gas reservoir suspension at the rear, allowing riders to tailor the setup for their riding style. With a fuel capacity of 12.10 litres (3.20 gallons), the Xtreme strikes a balance between performance and range, making it an ideal choice for longer journeys as well as daily commutes. **
