But the expert of hero engineers can't resolve the problem yet and give me a great suggestion to drive the bike within 40-45 k.M per hour speed because it is new.. Hahaha what a joke i buy a 150cc xtreme bike for a great price of rs.81,420....3.Did not have a great pick up of 60 k.M in 10 sec....It is just a joke and selling policy...4. On the rainy season all the mud and polluted water are going to kill your bike because it don't have any mud or water guard.And the funny thing is the service center don't have external in there stock also...5.Worst mileage of 32-35 k.M.....Retrieve after running 625.Km.6. The color and sticker of bike is fade up easily...Because there is no good quality given.All i experienced summery is that i just lost my all money by purchase a worst bike by exchange my better one cbz extreme model of 2009.....

pros

digital console meter

cons

no water protection for the engine

The bike is great, the fuel effeciency is yet to be tested in full fledge but loved the way the engine responded. It still uses the honda engine so loving it and the way the engine responds. The transmission is smooth and responsive.

The bike is a bit on the heavier side so if you like to manoeuvre better stay fit to enjoy it to the max.

A fun bike to ride.

Drive safe and enjoy.

The engine guard is a bit disappointing. Would have liked it if hero had it pre-installed rather than me having to put it as an addition. Nice new features

pros

power, acceleration and styling

cons

additional costs, splash guard

Me also facing same problem on my hero xtreme (make on nov 2013) i purchased on 9/11/2013. I completed my 4 services @9500 km. But still i am facing the noise and vibrations when riding above 50km/hr. And after that when i come zero speed and neutral gear with no acceleration the sounds and vibrations of my engine is more as when acceleration is above half range.

I spent 82000 for this bike and exchanged my well conditoned honda unicorn. Lose of money. Nneed to ride below 50km/hr. On 150cc bike. How hero moto corp fooling us by cheap quality of engines. 100 Cc bikes better in front of this bike

totally unsatisfied by hero moto corp.

So plz solve my problem.

pros

worst bike

cons

engine noise and vibrations. If you want smooth ride then ride below 50kmhr go for 100cc bike better

I have bought xtreme in may 2015. It cost me rs. 81,000/- With expectations to have nice average, comfort and much more.

Unfortunately this bike does matched my requirements. The engine is noisy and not smooth. Bike vibrates after 50 kmph.

The height of bike is only for tall guys who are atleast 6 feet tall. After covering 20,000 kms the bike is not still smooth for me. Now i contacted a mechanic who adjusted the rear shockers with one point. Yes there is a adjust point in bike. But still the balance of bike is not good. But the average could be said as satisfying. It would be better to go for hunk or apache. Difficult to handle in traffic.

It is dificult to for ladies to seat in rear.

The meter console is attractive.

Pros

average

cons

height & weight

Style doesent matter if engine makes shit noise and vibrates.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox worst ever answers from shorooms in pune city cant even rectify the problem of engine noise even at a speed of 30-40. What will happen if driven at high speed god knows??????

final words dont buy if driven hero honda bikes go for 😃honda bikes😃

areas of improvement take the hero communication classes first.

Pros

you loose your money for worst ride

cons

yo again loose money

1. It was good...2. Very comfortable but due to my height it is little worry. 3. Performance very attractive looks amazing. 4 always with care maintained and checkup 2 weeks once...5. Pros: it has high seep and pickup very attractive but cons it has high height so only....Otherwise its very sexy bike ever..

Good looking bike. The headlamp visor and digital meter Analog both are awesome Racing throttle engine voice is good. When we ride this bike feels like we upon on sit king chair very tall bike. Also good looking at Night especially digital meter design light.

About the Reviewer

I own a 2013 hero xtreme. I can differentiate this particular model with other models only by the availability of kick start and elimination of the word cbz on my bike.

Throwback to 2013, i have narrowed down few popular options like the pulsar 150 which is the segment leader and the fz from yamaha.

After a lot of discussions we decided to go for the hero xtreme which i feel would be a bit different in terms of owning and looks too in the market.

Even today i use my bike for daily office commute and rare highway rides. The machine performs really well till date without any serious troubles.

Talking about he mileage which would be the primary thing an average middle class Indian looks for. I was really satisfied with the efficiency figures it returns. My daily office commute would return me above 50kmpl which would not go beyond 55.65kmpl. Whenever i take it to my hometown which would be a highway high speed ride, the mileage would go down to a least of 37kmpl which is a very rash and high speed mileage. If you maintain a good speed like not exceeding 80kmph then it would give you around 40-45kmpl on highway.

Overall the mileage part is quite satisfactory and in-fact more than what we can expect from a 150cc 149kg machine.

Coming to the service and maintenance cost, till date there were no serious issues and no major replacements except the regular brake pad changes along with chain sprocket kit replacement. Fed up with the hero service i moved to a road side mechanic from 45000kms on the odo. Recently opted for motul 5100 10w 30 engine oil after using the hero genuine oil for 50k kms. The performance is very good. But vibrations are still persistent on the handle bar and the foot pegs. I am able to cruise like anything and i could feel the difference between the hero and the motul oil. I want to stick to motul though its costly on the pocket.

Brake pad replacement would cost me around 300 for the hero genuine pads and if i get them replaced from the showroom then the labour would cost me 150. The service from hero is not at all satisfactory for me. They don't allow me to get the bike serviced in front of me. They always insist me to take the bike in the evenings which i feel they are doing nothing except the oil change and a neat wash. I couldn't feel any difference in my services from hero. Really fed up with a lot of complaints and decided to step out of the showroom guys.

I visit a road side mechanic and the entire labour would cost me rs.350 which includes the general service and any other replacements too. If you want to get any part replaced then hero people will blow up your mind with labour cost for each part replacement. They used to charge me 350 for service, 150 for brake pads, 50 for greasing and if i insist then to clean the chain and they would charge me additional 150 for chain cleaning.

I don't know what the shit they are charging 350 as a general service.

Pros:

-looks (though subjective)

-performance

-comfort

-mileage

-low on maintenance

-of course, its a hero which is a long lasting (depends on how you maintain)

Cons:

-vibrations (hell! a lot)

-high speed stability

-stock tyres are bad at performance.

Changed to mrf masseter's and trust me you don't need an abs for your bike. I had tested them in heavy rains also. Till date i didn't face any single skidding on any terrains but the tyres wont last longer as the stock zappers do. Both tyres costed me rs.4000 in hyderabad.

Overall the ownership is quite impressive, easy on the pocket with very very less disappointments.

About the Reviewer

1. Buying experience with hero is always good.
2. Riding experience about the xtreme can be summarized in three words- comfortable, handling, maintenance. The bike is very comfortable to ride specially on long rides, as it is having very precisely made seating posture and appropriate seat height. The seat and height is adjusted such a way that you only slightly lean forward offering no fatigue at all during highway rides. You can stretch 100 km without stopping.
Handling and diamond shaped chassis is very well suited for good riding speeds of 80 -90 km/h on highways. The rpm hit 6000 without much buzz and very helpful. The 1st & 2nd gears are short whereas 3rd, 4th, 5th are reasonably tall offering a good commute in city and highways too. The bike lack in a stopping power and need pre-planning for braking the bike.
The service is cost is low as it is an Indian brand.
Pros:
1. Good riding posture
2. Silent and impressive engine
3. Durable and good quality tyres
4. Low maintenance cost
5. Commute friendly chassis
6. Highway riding friendly gearing and engine rev.
7. Long touring capability
Cons:
1. Maintenance parts and not easily available.
