Soon after introducing the new Xtreme 160R 4V and Harley-Davidson X440, the Hero MotoCorp has now introduced the updated Xtreme 200S 4V, making it more powerful and sportier than before.
Here’s a look at all the essential details about the new 2023 Hero Xtreme 200S 4V you’ve been longing to know!
What’s New?
- For starters, the upgraded Xtreme 200S receives four valves instead of two for its 199.6cc single-cylinder engine. This enables better air intake and exhaust flow for improved combustion and enhanced performance.
- As a result of more valves, the Xtreme 200S now makes 19.17PS of max power and 17.35Nm of peak torque. That’s 1PS/0.9Nm more than the previous 2V model.
- The bike now also receives an oil cooler for better cooling and improved oil lifespan.
- When it comes to design, the bike looks similar to its previous iteration, save for the new graphics and three refreshed paint schemes: Moon Yellow, Panther Black Metallic, and Matt Axis Grey Metallic.
- For improved ergonomics and a sporty riding stance, Hero has also introduced new raised clip-on handlebars, replacing the older one-piece unit.
- The braking department has also been updated with the new petal disc brakes borrowed from the XPulse 200T. Nevertheless, customers will still have to make with the single-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS).

Author’s Take
All the changes have made the Xtreme 200S more competitive in its segment. Yet, a touch of design alteration and the addition of dual-channel ABS would be warmly welcomed.
