The motorcycle gets an LED headlight at the front and a golden-coloured telescopic fork which gives the bike a bold look. 

Engine and Underpinnings

The Hero Xtreme 250R will be powered by a brand-new 250cc engine which is expected to make 30PS and 25Nm. The engine could be paired to a 6-speed gearbox along with a slip-and-assist clutch. The chassis on the new Xtreme 250R could be an all-new unit which Hero will bring to the  upcoming Karizma XMR 250 as well. The suspension consists of an inverted telescopic fork and a monoshock while the braking duties are handled by a petal disc at both ends. The motorcycle rides on 17-inch alloy wheels on both ends.
