The XTreme NXT will rival the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V in the segment. Other competitors in the 200cc segment include the KTM 200 Duke and Bajaj Pulsar NS 200. It is likely that Hero will price the Xtreme NXT at around INR 1 lakh to keep it affordable yet reasonably powerful enough. The Indian manufacturer is also working on a bigger Impulse, and reportedly will launch the bike in mid-2018. The brand showcased the concept bike, the XPulse at the 2017 EICMA show in Milan, Italy.
