Hero Motocorp is set to expand the range of its premium bikes in the Indian market with the launch of the new Xtreme 250R. Initially showcased at EICMA, the bike will likely be the brand's first launch in 2025. Once the bike is ready to hit the roads, it will compete against rivals like the KTM 250 Duke. Before the official event, the new machine has been spied in Delhi-NCR during a TVC shoot showing all the design details.
Starting with the design, the Hero Xtreme 250R gets an aggressive street-fighter look. Credits to the unique design of the LED headlight and fuel tank which seems to be buffed up with strong character lines. The brand has also added tank extensions which follow the same pattern as the tank with sharp edges. The side panel of the bike and the tail section are part of a single unit. All of this is complemented by graphics and three colours.
