    Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler Unveiled As Hunk 440 SX – India Launch Likely?

    by

    Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler UnveiledAfter unveiling Xpulse 210 Dakar Edition, Hero MotoCorp unveiled another important bike which could launch in Indian market. No, it is not the Xpulse 440, but a Scrambler variant of Mavrick 440. Design of this motorcycle has been patented in India and the name Mavrick 440 Scrambler has been trademarked as well.
    However, the motorcycle showcased at EICMA 2025 by Hero MotoCorp was Mavrick 440 Scrambler, but with Hunk branding as Hunk SX which is reserved for global markets. The company has not confirmed whether India will get Mavrick 440 Scrambler or not, but it looks quite promising. Let’s take a closer look.

    Mavrick 440 has been one of the most underrated motorcycles on sale in India and is quite an enjoyable bike. However, it doesn’t quite have enough panache to smash the sales charts. It was designed to make its brand-engineered Harley-Davidson counterpart look more appealing. The company showcased a variant of Mavrick 440 with USD forks and a TFT screen which looked quite promising.
    However, there was a more promising version of Mavrick 440 whose design was patented in India. It was a Scrambler version of Mavrick 440 with quite a few hardware changes to make it more rugged and trail worthy. Hero MotoCorp has even trademarked the name Mavrick 440 Scrambler in India.
    Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler Unveiled
    We wish Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler is launched in India as it ditches the commuter-bike design with something that is more exciting. Establishing excitement are elements like a front fly-screen finished in a White colour. This contrasts well with Orange fuel tank and side body panels used with this particular Hunk SX model.

    What to expect?
    Other notable changes include fork gaiters for front RSU telescopic forks, chunkier tank pads, a split seat setup, completely new rear subframe with a retro pillion grab rail. Alloy wheel design is more exciting too. Sticking to its Scrambler DNA, this bike gets a bash plate and an up-swept exhaust setup. It also gets ride-by-wire technology now.

    All these changes make Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler (Hunk 440 SX) quite a bit more desirable. Where features are concerned, it might borrow the vertically oriented TFT instrument screen along with switchable dual-channel ABS.

    The same long-stroke 440cc oil-cooled engine with 27 bhp of peak power and 36 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox might be carried forward. If launched in India, it will directly take on Royal Enfield Scram 440.

      Hero Xpulse 210 Dakar Edition Unveiled – More Features, Capability

      by

      Hero Xpulse 210 Dakar Edition UnveiledAt the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo, Hero MotoCorp unveiled a Rally Edition of its Xpulse 210 based on the base variant. It got a lot of off-road-worthy components with a motocross bike-like rear tail tidy. Hero didn’t confirm the launch of Xpulse 210 Rally Edition, though. Fast forwarding to November 2025, Hero has just confirmed the launch of Xpulse 210 Dakar Edition.
      This is similar to what the Pro variant of Xpulse 200 was. So, a lot of off-road worthy components, but based on the top-spec, ‘Top’ variant. So, it will get all the bells and whistles, for a little more money than standard variant. Same is likely to be the case with Xpulse 210 Dakar Edition, just unveiled at EICMA Show 2025. Let’s take a closer look.
      Hero Xpulse 210 Dakar Edition Unveiled
      Hero Xpulse 210 Dakar Edition Unveiled
      Executive Chairman of Hero MotoCorp, Pawan Munjal, just unveiled the Xpulse 210 Dakar Edition at the grand stage of EICMA 2025. Xpulse 210 Dakar Edition was long overdue and off-road motorcycling enthusiasts in India are waiting on their heels to get their hand on this hardcore version of Xpulse 210.
      The company’s Dakar DNA has trickled down on to this motorcycle and it continues to feature a similar colour scheme of White, Red and Black as seen with Xpulse 200 Pro variant. It looks like the only design difference to set it apart from standard variant is its colourway. Price is yet to be announced and a launch will happen soon in India.
      Hero Xpulse 210 Dakar Edition Unveiled
      Hardware Upgrade
      Hero Xpulse 210 Dakar Edition is a major hardware upgrade to the already brilliant Xpulse 210. In that regard, we get upgraded suspension with longer travel and increased ground clearance, which unlocks more capabilities off-road. Not just that, suspension is now adjustable too, with accessible compression and rebound settings.
      Also adding to its ground clearance is Maxxis knobby tyres, which offers impeccable grip and traction on loose surfaces off-road. The company is likely to offer dual-purpose tyres as an option. To accommodate this increased height, there will be a taller side stand as well. Seat looks like it is similar to stock one, but one can always opt for a Rally Edition seat.
      Xpulse 210 Dakar Edition Unveiled
      It will be powered by the same 210cc single-cylinder DOHC 4V/cyl liquid cooled engine as stock bike, churning out about 24.2 bhp of peak power and 20.7 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. Disc brake setups at both ends, dual-channel ABS, TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth and Navigation and other features.

      2026 Hero Xtreme 125R Reach Showrooms Before Launch – Dual ABS, Colour Screen, Cruise Control

      by

      2026 Hero Xtreme 125R Reach ShowroomsThe world’s largest 2W manufacturer by volume, Hero MotoCorp, has been continually striving to increase the premium quotient of their motorcycles. This is becoming a necessity too, as competition is also upping their game. In the premium 125cc motorcycle space, competition has intensified and Hero is fortifying its offering with a thorough update.
      Units of the updated 2026 Hero Xtreme 125R have been arriving at showrooms before a formal launch. Hat tip to automotive enthusiast Ankit to bringing this to our notice. In a recent video by Shahrukh Akthar, we can see a 2026 Hero Xtreme 125R in a lovely Green shade at a dealer premise ahead of launch. Let’s take a look at how things stack up for the new updated model.
      2026 Hero Xtreme 125R Reach Showrooms
      2026 Hero Xtreme 125R Reach Showrooms
      At a recent dealer event, Hero MotoCorp showcased the updated 2026 Xtreme 125R alongside an updated 2026 Xtreme 160R. The former seems to be launching first as units have started to arrive at dealerships. Where design is concerned, the new model looks vastly similar to current model. Distinguishing it from its predecessor is a revised colour palette with new colours like Green and Red. Official names are not revealed yet.
      2026 Hero Xtreme 125R Reach Showrooms
      There is an update to its graphics as well, making it more attractive than before. The main update to 2026 Xtreme 160R comes in the form of an electronic throttle, which was also offered with Glamour X. This has enabled Cruise Control feature, making 2026 Hero Xtreme 125R the first sporty 125cc motorcycle in India to offer this feature. Similar to Glamour X, there is a Cruise Control toggle on right hand switchgear.
      2026 Hero Xtreme 125R Reach Showrooms
      Left hand switchgear have been updated too, so that they can operate the new colour LCD screen borrowed from vehicles like Xtreme 250R and Glamour X. This new cluster looks upmarket and offers a plethora of features including Bluetooth and turn-by-turn navigation, bringing it up to speed with its immediate rivals like TVS Raider 125, Bajaj Pulsar N125 and the recently launched Honda CB125 Hornet.
      2026 Hero Xtreme 125R Reach Showrooms
      It has to be noted that both TVS Raider 125 and Honda CB125 Hornet offer TFT screens for instrument clusters. The variant seen in this video has a sportier split seat setup and it dons the same tyre size as before. Other notable features of 2026 Xtreme 125R include LED headlights, LED tail lights, LED turn indicators with hazard function and more. Like Glamour X, we can expect 2026 Xtreme 125R to come equip with auto emergency brake lights along with USB Type-C port.
      2026 Hero Xtreme 125R Reach Showrooms
      Dual-Channel ABS
      Not a lot of people might use cruise control on a 125cc motorcycle and use turn by turn navigation feature on their daily commutes. However, what every single 2026 Xtreme 125R owner will unanimously appreciate is the addition of dual-channel ABS. Now, the dual disc variant of Xtreme 125R will come with dual-channel ABS which will boost braking performance and offer a safety net to buyers. Recently, the Raider 125 was also updated with dual-channel ABS.
      [embedded content]
      2026 Hero Xtreme 125R will continue with the same 124.7cc engine as current model, generating around 11.4 bhp of peak power and 10.5 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The same RSU telescopic front forks, rear mono-shocks and the 10L fuel tank, among other components. Considering units have started to arrive at dealerships, a launch is likely to happen soon. More

      4 New Hero Vida Electric Bikes Teased For EICMA – Dirt-E, VXZ, Nex, Ubex Lineup

      by

      4 New Hero Vida Electric Bikes TeasedHero MotoCorp is continually striving to establish itself as a premium 2W manufacturer. The company’s Vida sub-brand aims to extend this ethos into the electric 2W realm with V2 lineup and VX2 electric scooters. Now that EICMA is right around the corner, Hero Vida has teased as many as 4 new electric bikes. Let’s take a closer look.
      4 New Hero Vida Electric Bikes Teased
      After launching Vida VX2 in the Indian market, Vida brand is proving to be more than just an electric scooter brand. It was the first to introduce proper BaaS plans on scooter’s price in Indian electric scooter segment. Now, there are as many as 4 electric bike nameplates that have been teased by Hero Vida.
      Hero Vida Acro Concept Left, Lynx Concept Right
      Technically, 5 new electric motorcycles can be seen in Vida’s latest teasers. Ubex brand is likely to spawn a series of motorcycles, two of which have been teased. Let’s take a closer look at Ubex lineup, Dirt-E, VXZ and Nex.
      Hero Vida Dirt-E
      Vida Dirt-E
      As the name suggests, Vida Dirt-E is for those who want to get dirty in the mud. On their motorcycles, of course. It is a proper dirt bike and is powered by an electric powertrain. In the teaser, we can see a glimpse of it getting dirty in the mud in a fast-paced montage. There is a good probability of it being the production version of Lynx Concept.
      Hero Vida Ubex Teased
      Hero Vida Ubex Electric Bike Concept
      Vida Ubex
      Under the Ubex nameplate, Hero Vida has teased two different electric motorcycles. Only one of them looks like it is production-ready or close-to-production. This model features fairly premium componentry including USD telescopic front forks and other. It features a Roadster design with a mid-mounted motor and belt drive.
      Hero Vida Ubex Teased
      Second motorcycle teased under Concept Ubex nameplate is a futuristic supermoto motorcycle that has a composite chassis along with a hollow rear sub frame. This design is less likely to make it to production as is being shown.
      Hero Vida VXZ Teased
      Vida VXZ
      After launching VX2, Hero Vida is coining a new electric motorcycle and it will bear the name VXZ. The company calls it Project VXZ and it is likely to be production-ready, looking at the teaser images. It features a similar LED DRL signature as V2 and VX2 scooters, engulfing a projector headlight.
      It is a visually larger product than the close-to-production Ubex motorcycle teased. It has a more muscular overall silhouette and is likely to be placed as a flagship.
      Hero Vida Nex 3W Teased
      Vida Nex
      What’s next? It is Nex concept from Vida. While the company has not teased a silhouette or what it could be, there were interesting details teased. For starters, teaser shows two wheels one with disc brake and rear wheel with a hub motor. Then another front wheel rolls into the scene, suggesting that Hero Vida will launch a 3W electric scooter like the Sway Trike concept.
      Hero Vida Sway Electric Scooter Prototype
      This 3W electric scooter is likely to have two front wheels with independent suspension and two front disc brakes. This showcase could be the same Sway Trike concept which was showcased before, or a more refined version of it. 3W reverse trike scooters are quite popular in Europe with Yamaha, Piaggio, Peugeot and other brands catering to this niche.

      New Hero Street Fighter Teased – Debuts Tomorrow

      by

      New Hero Street Fighter TeasedHero MotoCorp, world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer by volume, is increasing its global footprint while expanding its premium portfolio in the domestic market. Upcoming EICMA Show 2025 in Milan, Italy, will prove to be a grand stage for the brand to showcase its future products.
      One of these future products has been teased by Hero MotoCorp in the form of a stylish and tech-savvy street fighter. It will make its official debut tomorrow on 4th November, 2025, at EICMA Show 2025. This teaser gives us quite a lot of insights as to what we can expect. Let’s take a closer look.
      New Hero Street Fighter Teased
      New Hero Street Fighter Teased
      Currently, Hero MotoCorp has an extensive range of street fighters in the Indian market under the Xtreme nameplate. The lineup starts from Xtreme 125R, followed by Xtreme 160R and then the flagship streetfighter, Xtreme 250R. It has to be noted that 2026 Xtreme 160R has been revealed to dealer partners and is expected to launch in India soon.
      An entirely new product has now been teased by the brand, which will make a grand debut tomorrow, on 4th November at the EICMA Show. This is a new street fighter motorcycle which is likely to fall in the Xtreme family. It has a unique outward pointing tank shrouds, which is different than inward pointing shrouds seen on Xtreme 250R and upcoming 2026 Xtreme 160R.
      2025 Hero Xtreme 160R 4V
      The chiseled fuel tank looks muscular with these shrouds and further adding muscle are chunky USD telescopic front forks and a robotic face. We can also see a large circular (not petal) disc brake setup with what looks like a twin piston calliper. We can see a hint of a trellis frame as well, which is different from what we saw on Xtreme 250R.
      Xtreme 160R Liquid-Cooled or Xtreme 210?
      What we can see from these teasers is that this new Hero street fighter will come equipped with a liquid-cooled engine. The engine in this teaser shows oil channels leading up to its dual overhead cam setup. One can also spot a large radiator at the front, which will have active cooling to radiate heat from this engine.
      Hero Xoom 160 – 156cc Liquid-Cooled Engine
      This only suggests two possibilities. One is an Xtreme 210 which packs the same 210cc liquid-cooled engine that does duty in Karizma XMR 210 and Xpulse 210. This Xtreme 210 will be positioned above the air-cooled Xtreme 160R and below Xtreme 250R. The second possibility is a liquid-cooled Xtreme 160R.
      Hero MotoCorp has developed a new liquid-cooled 156cc engine which we experienced in Xoom 160 maxi-scooter. As of now, only the Xoom 160 with limited sales potential gets this brand new engine and the company might explore more possibilities with this platform. Think Yamaha MT-15 rival, but with Hero MotoCorp’s aggressive pricing strategy.
