Why does this story matter?
The Hero Xtreme 200S is the brand's third model to get a four-valve variant after the XPulse 200 and XPulse 200T.
The model will get slight visual tweaks and an improved engine. However, the mechanicals will remain unchanged.
In our market, the two-wheeler will take on rivals such as the Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 and Suzuki Gixxer SF.
Design
The bike will sport two-tone paint and 17-inch wheels
Similar to the two-valve variant, the 2023 Xtreme 200S 4V will have a muscular fuel tank, full fairings, a tinted visor, an upswept exhaust, and a stepped-up seat.
It will pack an all-LED lighting setup, an LCD instrument cluster, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
The model will flaunt a dual-tone yellow/black paintwork. There will also be new graphics on the fairings and side/rear panels.

It will be fueled by a 19hp, 200cc engine
Hero Xtreme 200S 4V will run on an OBD 2-compliant 199.6cc, single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine that generates a maximum power of 18.83hp at 8,500rpm and a peak torque of 17.3Nm at 6,500rpm. The mill is linked to a 5-speed gearbox.
