I own a black Xtreme and I purchased this bike a month ago and here is my review so far regarding the HeroXtreme.Wherever I go whether its Security at parking, Road Signal, Petrol pump, Shopping mall people keep on asking about the bike.They are eagar to know about bike cost, mileage other features etc.The looks of New CBZ (now just Hero Xtreme) is so good that it catches one’s attention and makes people enthusiastic about it.This shows how much popular the CBZ was and still it is and its new features have added the extra elegance to it. I have seen few of them were actually comparing my Xtreme with bajaj.
pulser(150/180cc/200/220), Yamaha (SZ, FZ, Fazer), Honda Unicorn, TVS apache.All these bikes are equally good but not in each and every feature.Before buying the bike I too went through the Xtreme reviews and compared with some of the 150cc bikes like pulser 150, TVS Apache, Honda Unicorn, Yamaha SZ but found CBZ reviews very good and even in actual test ride it was superb and finally after lots of thoughts over it decided to go with this bike and now I feel it was a good decision.Each of the above 150 cc bike has one or more than one unique/best feature/quality that differentiates them and make them stand at some position but Xtreme equally challenges and can compete with these bikes.
If someone is looking for all features with decent factors like long lasting engine performance, medium mileage, good comfort and handling for longer journey, normal but stylish looks, value for money then one must go for Xtreme. It has few cons like vibration at certain speed and mileage problem for some users(came to know through reviews I haven’t faced till now). Also its little bit heavy but one can easily manage and it well suited for tall guys.
In all, if you consider, its most of the features like performance, comfort and handling, normal mileage, look and feel, value for money, brand value and other newly added features Xtreme wins the race and is one of the excellent bike in 150 cc segment.
Thanks to Hero Motocorp for such an awesome bike.
