Hero Motocorp added a new Xtreme to its diversity in the form of Xtreme 250r. After debuting in EICMA 2024 in Milan, Italy, the local bikemaker introduced his flagship of street fight to the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. This motorcycle goes directly to a quarter of 250.
Let’s see how these motorcycles of the functionality of the naked street opposite others are compared.
The Duke 250 offers a longer wheelbase and a greater transparentness of the soil than Xtreme 250r. The Austrian is also lighter than its Indian counterpart. The Xtreme also gives a chair larger than the Duke. The KTM has a transparent merit because it obtains a larger 15 -liter fuel tank in the 11. 5 liter fuel tank of the hero.
The two motorcycles are based on a frame of Trellis, but the foundations differ from others. The Duke 250 obtains a more premium suspension configuration from WP Apex, while the hero obtains internally evolved pieces. In addition, the rear mono-shock bar in the KTM obtains a preload adjustment in 10 steps compared to a 6-step precarking adjustment for the hero. The tire profiles for the two motorcycles are the same and the braking device is also more or less the same.
The two motorcycles are well supplied in terms of characteristics. The 250R XTREME has a complex formula with a LED projector lighthouse with incorporated LED DRL. Its virtual TFT instrument cluster, activated through Bluetooth, offers a diversity of features, adding a return timer, a transparent drag and integration timer with connected devices for navigation and musical control.
KTM recently took a step forward to Duke 2Five0 with a five -inch colorful TFT demonstration and intuitive dice switches. The demonstration supplies essential data, such as the revolution counter, the return timer, the determined device and a navigation formula and headphones appearance capabilities. In addition, the motorcycle now provides two driving, track and street modes, as well as a dynamic supermotic mode for forward versatility.
The type of motor and displacement in Duke 250 and Xtreme 250r are almost identical, but the first produces a force more than the second. That said, Hero claims a faster acceleration of 0 to 60 km / h of 3. 25 seconds, which makes it the fastest fourth naked in India.
HERO XTREME 250R and KTM DUKE 250 are presented in a completely loaded variant. However, there is a big difference between the two bicycles. The Xtreme 250r is at the value of RS 1. 80 Lakh, while the Duke is marked at RS 2. 25 Lakh (both ex-showroom), a difference in RS 45,000.
