Hero Xtreme 250R User Reviews
- Xtreme 250RI wanted an upgrade from 125 cc so I chose the 250cc segment. i got my xtreme 250r this month and my 1st opinion it's crazy good i don't know why people complain about engine oil leak and other stuff if you cold start your bike properly there won't be any such issue. Seating posture is comfortable for me although I feel a bit soreness in my forearms. Mileage since I have not done the 1st service i am getting around 35 in long rides but around 20 for areas with much traffic If u want the fastest 250 go for it. Road presence is too too good. If you don't have a problem with the mileage you are going to love this bike. The only thing I don't like is that the service can only be done in premium showrooms.Read More6

- Reliable Bike for Everyday RidersI chose the Xtreme 250R basically because of its outstanding price-performance balance.

Riding the Hero Xtreme 250R has been smooth and reliable. It manages city traffic well and the mileage is good for daily commutes.
