" The bike features
Advanced
Microprocessor Ignition
System" Is this one related to earlier released fuel efficient start stop system?
Hero has not done well in 150cc category because Bajaj and Yamaha were on roll with better bikes but we have to wait to see whether it was fit for race.
My opinion: Dont like the front part especially dome but rest is well designed.Specs look decent and we have to wait to see tge winner. -
Kaustubh KatdareGood looking buy, but nothing that'd make me drool. I really want to see a bike that gives me stunning looks, comfortable ride and zero maintenance. However, disk brakes on both front and rear tyres is a good thing. Wondering how does this bike compare with the Pulsar 200NS.
-
Yogesh BorkarThe bikes aerodynamic and Sporty design looks awesome as compared to regular Hero designs, mobile charging facility and
wider tyres gives added advantage. I think Hero will capture market in the 150 CC category with Xtreme. -
Ankita KatdareThat's great. Looks like the the Xtreme motorcycle is receiving quite neutral reviews from bike enthusiasts. 👀
Looking forward to more comments from members. -
Vikram S BargahAmendment: Its has 5 speed gear box.
With the above specification Hero moto corp tries to regain its slow moving 150 cc segment . Features like digital console are already available with other brands. It is going to be competing with much more popular Bajaj Pulsar 150 (which is still topping the chart)
P.S: Was expecting much more from HMC . -
PensuNothing much impressive. Looks okay, the wider rear tire is a good move. But I don't think with FZ and Pulsar-150, they have much of a chance. Price is appealing, but there are better things available in market. Mobile charger is good advantage, but the digital console looks a little weird. Having a ton of features makes things messy, but may be, it will work for Hero!

zaveriThe mobile charger thing appeals to me. the body looks some what like CBZ. The headlights are somewhat like that of Discover
-
Ankita Katdare#-Link-Snipped-# You guessed it right. Earlier, the bike was known as 'CBZ Xtreme'.
In this model the company has let go of the term 'CBZ'.
Overall, it seems to me that Honda took away the design and makeover team along with them 😁😁 -
Sarathkumar Chandrasekaran#-Link-Snipped-# Do you think Hero can sustain in 150cc segment?
Honda has always been the best in terms of their bikes and performance.Hero's solo performance hadn't impressed the market a lot. -
Ankita KatdareThat's a good question.
According to a report on Economic Times (if the numbers are to be believed), just an year after Hero MotoCorp and Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) parted ways - Honda has beated Hero by a significant margin.
According to Siam (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers) data,
Hero’s sales in bikes with engine capacity between 125cc and 150cc declined by a steep 53% while HMSI’s volumes went up by 76%.
I think the top selling 150cc bikes in India so far are - Honda CB Unicorn, Bajaj Pulsar 150 DTSi, Suzuki GS150R and Honda CBR 150R.
Hero Xtreme has a lot to catch up to its competitors. -
Anoop MathewFact is that, it's about the 'sides of the bike' that need to be appealing.
The CBZ Xtreme was a huge bike, and there's nothing crazy about it. Even the TVS Apache (which most people don't buy) looks much more aggressive that this variant.
Hero never really did anything to boost the styles. All the bikes look similar on the front. Why can't they come up with some innovative designs? Is there a rule to keep the front light as dumb-looking (from the side) as all other models? Wake up Hero! -
Ankita KatdareI can't agree more with #-Link-Snipped-# It is high time that they bring innovative designs in budget motorcycles in India. Why are we still on the same-old same-old looks?

dhaval112head cowl is badly designed. they stupidly reduced the wheelbase too.
-
jaison rebelloHmm nice article ...best thing wat i found in dis byk iz Charging port I needed This so badly coz i use my phone for Gmaps n navigation while city surfing n for long rides big problm was battry dieyin out in 2 -3 hrs n using power bank was painfull, Hope this trend continues with bikes with bigger Mills also . Abu d Byk not so gr8 1 in competion New rtr 160 white looks better ,gixxer n 200ns are far modern but definetely far better dan old CBZ with CHEEK Indicators Big masculine tank n monoshock could have been a welcome change though n u cannot call 110width tyres Wider ones headlight shud hv been more naked n agressive
