Out of the blue, Hero has debuted the concept 2.5R Xtunt bike. It is a naked sports bike meant for street riding mainly. It is based on the newly launched Karizma XMR. This means it gets the same chassis & powertrain as the XMR itself. The 210cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine remains as it is. However, its tuning and fuel mapping shall be different. Also, the 6-speed transmission will be re-tuned as per the dimensional & design changes. The red-white concept model embraces a very sharp design.

It looks like a proper streetfighter in the true sense. Hardware on it includes 17-inch alloy wheels, USD front suspension, rear adjustable monoshock suspension, & petal disc brakes at both ends. Expect it to carry a lot of parts from the XMR. However, the performance will be different due to the changes made. With that said, Hero didn't reveal many details about it. But, we're expecting it to hit the production line by the end of this year. Which means it can probably be launched by the first quarter of 2024 in India. The launch price of it can range between Rs 1.60 lakh - Rs 1.75 lakh.

Verdict

The 2.R Xtunt concept looks promising. If it makes to the launch soon, the primary rivals of it'll be the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 & the KTM 250 Duke. However, the aggressive pricing strategy of Hero might help in gaining good volume of customers for it. We can't comment further but we hope that more details about it'll be revealed as it approaches its launch timeline.
