Hero is the largest two wheeler manufacturer not only in India but in the world and it was a shock to discover that the largest home grown manufacturer was out of the race in 150 cc segment. For a while though, Hero Motocorp was out of the 150 cc league after the discontinuation of Hero Xtreme in 2019, but standing to our expectation it eventually made a comeback with the launch of Hero Xtreme 160R along with BSVI complaint Hero Glamour and Hero Passion Pro at the recent event of “Hero World 2020” hosting by Hero MotoCorp at its R&D hub in the Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT) in Jaipur.
