The 2023 Xtreme 200S 4V from Hero MotoCorp has been launched in India, carrying a price tag of Rs 1.41 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). This new offering from the bikemaker is an improved version of the company's fully-faired performance motorbike. The same 200cc engine continues to power the new variant. It was seen during a dealer meet a few months back, and its arrival has been awaited ever since. A slew of improvements have been made over the previous 2V. In contrast to the older version, it now has a four-valve system, allowing the engine to generate 6 per cent more power and 5 per cent more torque. Further, three colour choices will be offered for the motorcycle: Moon Yellow, Panther Black Metallic, and the high-end Stealth Edition. Besides, the leading two-wheeler producer will soon release the new generation Karizma XMR 210 in the country. It will have a 210cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. By March 2024, a brand-new motorbike based on the Harley-Davidson X440 is expected to go on sale as well.
