Hero Xtreme 400S

The Hero Xtreme 400S has been spied testing, once again. Here's what we know about the upcoming supersport.

Earlier spyshots reveal that the Xtreme 400S has a rather imposing figure like a typical supersport. Playing along the lines of the erstwhile Hero Karizma ZMR, this upcoming sportbike packs a muscular look, and will likely grab a lot of eyeballs.

We expect it to be powered by the same 421cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine as the XPulse 400, albeit in a sportier state of tune. The test mule sports a telescopic fork and monoshock, which should allow Hero to price it competitively. Braking duties are shared by front petal disc with an axial caliper and rear petal unit. We think dual channel ABS should come as standard.

Completing the supersport look are alloy wheels and clip-on handlebars. It’ll probably get electronic rider aids like traction control and cornering ABS as the switchcube does reveal four-way control buttons for what will likely be a fairly comprehensive menu system in the instrument cluster.

Once launched, the Xtreme 400S will rival the TVS Apache RR 310,BMW G 310 RR and the KTM RC 390.
