Hero MotoCorp is reportedly working on a 440cc version of the Xtreme called the 'Xtreme 440R'. The new model could be launched in 2024.



The Hero Xtreme 440R is said to use the same engine that will power the upcoming Harley-Davidson X440. Reports suggest that both bikes were presented during a "customer clinic" organized to gauge the initial reaction of the public.

Hero MotoCorp is said to be working on three platforms. In addition to the 440cc engine that will power Harley-Davidson's first mid-capacity bike, Hero is also developing a new 210cc liquid-cooled engine for the Karizma XMR. There is a 420cc platform in the works as well, that is said to spawn an entirely new range of motorcycles.

The mid-capacity segment has seen substantial growth in recent times. Hero MotoCorp is now looking to grab a piece of the pie with help from partner Harley-Davidson. The upcoming X440 would target the Royal Enfield buyer, while the rumoured Xtreme 440R could take on the likes of KTM and Husqvarna.

Good to hear Hero Motocorp. trying to come up with products across the price and value chain. The new Passion Pro and Xtreme 160 looked good. Harley as a partner was initially a big surprise, considering they decided to wrap up their business in India.

Hopefully this new partnership deliver products with right balance in quality, efficiency and price. Hope to see product with similar power in Xpulse as well... Or maybe I am just delaying my buying decision to avoid RE Himalayan.

Would be good to see the XMR having the 400 cc engine instead of the puny 210 one.
This would give a premium image to the Karizma brand which it was when alive earlier.
