In terms of design, the muscular-looking fuel tank extensions make the Hero Xtreme 200R look like a beefier sibling of the Xtreme 150. The company has also equipped the motorcycle with a large headlamp along with integrated LED DRLs and LED taillamps. The instrument console seen on the concept has been carried over as well. It comes in a number of dual-tone paint options with edgy graphics.
