Hero Xtreme 250R fuel economy analysis 

The Hero Xtreme 250R is a sporty naked bike that offers really potent performance for daily commuting as well as highway riding. For our city fuel efficiency run, we were cruising with traffic, keeping a steady pace, and not unnecessarily accelerating or overtaking. Meanwhile, out on the highway, we kept a speed of between 70kph to 80kph for most of the time. Overall, the mileage figures are good for the levels of performance, but keep in mind that if you are riding more aggressively, mileage figures will vary.

Autocar India’s fuel-efficiency testing

Our fuel-efficiency testing routine starts by first brimming the tank and ensuring the bike is running the manufacturer’s recommended tyre pressures. The bike is then ridden on fixed city and highway routes, where we maintain average speeds that best mimic real-world scenarios, as well as keeping speed limits in mind. The payload on the bikes is kept constant by balancing rider weights and ballast, ensuring consistency across different vehicles and riders. At the end of the test cycle, the fuel tank is once again filled to the brim, giving us an accurate figure of how much fuel has been consumed against the trip meter reading.
