The Hero Xtreme Sports is a street motorcycle from Hero MotoCorp. It was launched in 2015 and has since been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Naked and roadster bikes pair a lively engine with an upright riding position and little or no fairing, which makes them easy to live with every day. With a 149.2 cc engine it sits in the 125–150 cc class.
Power comes from a 149.2 cc single-cylinder air-cooled carburetted engine that makes 15.82 PS at 8,500 rpm and 13.5 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 108 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The claimed top speed is 107 km/h. It has both electric and kick start.
It has a 5-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 4-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
Its frame is tubular, diamond type. At the front, the suspension is telescopic hydraulic type forks. At the rear, it is rectangular swing arm with 5 step adjustable gas reservoir suspension. Braking is by a 240 mm disc at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear. It rides on 18-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 80/100-18 at the front and 110/90-18 at the rear.
The seat is 800 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 147 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 163 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 2,100 mm long, with 1,325 mm between the axles. Its 12.1 L fuel tank and claimed mileage of 50 kmpl work out to roughly 605 km per tankful on paper; real-world range is usually lower.
Equipment includes an analogue and digital instrument console and a halogen headlamp. Safety equipment includes side-stand warning and low fuel indicator.
The manufacturer's warranty is 5 years or 40,000 km. For the Hero Xtreme Sports, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹1,399 doorstep service.
It is best suited to riders who want performance with an upright, everyday-friendly posture.
Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment. Being carburetted, it benefits from an occasional carburettor clean, especially if it has stood unused.
