Hero MotoCorp has officially opened bookings for the much-awaited Xtreme 250R in India. First showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, the motorcycle can now be booked at any authorised dealership or online with a refundable token amount of Rs. 10,000. Deliveries are set to begin very soon, so if you’re eyeing this streetfighter, now’s the time to act.
Pricing
The Xtreme 250R is priced at Rs. 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom), which gives it a serious advantage in terms of affordability. To put that into perspective, it’s nearly Rs. 48,000 cheaper than the KTM 250 Duke — a motorcycle it closely rivals in terms of performance and design.
Variant
Unlike some competitors that offer multiple variants, Hero has kept things simple with the Xtreme 250R. It comes in a single, fully-loaded variant, available in three sharp-looking colour options — Firestorm Red, Stealth Black, and Neon Shooting Star. Each of these gives the bike a sporty, aggressive road presence that matches its performance.
Engine
The motorcycle is powered by a 249cc, liquid-cooled engine that produces 30bhp and 25Nm of torque. It’s paired with a six-speed gearbox and has been tuned to deliver punchy mid-range and top-end performance. The power figures are right in the ballpark of the KTM 250 Duke, which is no small feat considering the price gap.
Hero’s engineers have gone for a high-revving engine character, and it shows — the acceleration is quick, and the bike feels alive the moment you twist the throttle. According to Hero, the Xtreme 250R can do the 0 to 60kmph sprint in just 3.25 seconds, which makes it the fastest quarter-litre streetfighter in the country right now.
Performance
What really stands out is the Xtreme 250R’s nimble handling. During our test ride, the motorcycle felt intuitive and confidence-inspiring through corners. Whether you’re carving up city streets or taking it for a weekend spin, the chassis balance and ergonomics hit the sweet spot.
