Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to launch several new bikes in India this year, many of which were unveiled at EICMA 2024. One of the much-anticipated models is the Hero Xtreme 250R, which was recently spotted shooting for a TV commercial in India. The Hero Xtreme 250R has a true streetfighter look, defined by its angular LED headlights and LED daytime running lights.
