Hero is aggressively foraying into new segments to reshape the brand as more premium, sporty and powerful from its present commuter bike focus, a company spokesperson said. A part of this expansion is in the premium motorcycle segment, wherein the maker of the Splendor bikes showcased the Xtreme 200R and XPulse 200 motorcycles. The adventure concept XPulse was revealed at the EICMA show at Milan in November and received a positive response, the spokesperson said.
