While the Yamaha R25 production model images and the KTM RC 390 spy pics have been hogging most of the lime light of late, one bike, which we feel, is an equally promising product is the Hero HX 250R. We’ve got to learn that the Hero HX250R launch would happen during festive season this year and here are all the details of the upcoming model. Worth mentioning is that the Hero HX 250R will follow both the ZMR and ZMA facelifts.

Hero HX 250R Engine- The HX 250R is powered by a 250cc, 4 stroke, single cylinder, fuel injected DOHC, Liquid cooled, engine that has a max power of 31 PS, which is higher than that pf the Honda CBR250R. The engine will come mated to a six speed manual gearbox. Hero claims that the bike has optimized intake and exhaust systems that help deliver a healthy power and a good fuel economy. The bike also gets a Closed Crankcase Ventilation System to ensure zero emission from the crankcase.
Hero HX 250R Suspension, Brakes and Tires- The Hero HX250R sports telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers at front, while the rear of the bike gets a monoshock that has a 5 step adjustable preload and shim valve damping. Braking is courtesy a 300mm disc brake with triple piston caliper. There’s a 220mm linked disc unit at the rear. The bike gets optional ABS. The bike rides on 17×2.75 inch alloy wheel up front that has been shod with a 110/80R – 17 rubber, while the rear gets a 17 x 4.0 inch alloy wheel shod with 140/70R-17 rubber.
Hero HX 250R Price- It is very likely that the Hero HX 250R price will lie in the Honda CBR250R territory. The price of the non ABS variant could start at around INR 1.60 lakhs.
Stay tuned to Motoroids for more updates on the upcoming Hero HX 250R launch and related details.
The Hero HX 250R has a 249cc motor at its heart which is a single-cylinder four-stroke unit. The highlight is the fact that this motor produces a maximum power output of 31 BHP and a peak torque of 26 NM which is way more than any other quarte- litre bike on sale in the country, including the famed KTM 200 Duke. It is a fuel injected engine and gets mated to a 6-speed manual transmission which is a first for Hero MotoCorp. The 4-valve engine makes use of liquid cooling and the bike gets an underbelly exhaust like the KTM 200/390 Duke and the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS.
Hero HX250R
You get a 300mm disc up front while the rear unit is a 200mm one. The bike comes shod with Honda’s much famed Combi brake system which teams up with an optional ABS which is also a first for Hero Motocorp. The bike gets Pirelli Sport Demon tyres and the front tyre is a 110/80/17 unit and the rear unit is a 140/70/17 one. The bike will do the 0-60 KMPH dash in about 2.7 seconds and the 0-100 KMPH sprint will come under 8 seconds before it maxes out at around 160 kmph.
It has a decent ground clearance of about 145mm and weighs merely 139 kgs and this will be one of the main factors boosting its performance. The futuristic styling, full fairing and twin headlamps make the bike look class apart to say the least. So if you were in the market for a sub Rs 1.5 lakh 200-250cc bike, I suggest you wait till the Hero HX250R hits the Indian roads and then make your choice, because from the looks of it the bike has a lot of potential.
