Review
The 2026 Hero Xtreme 400S is Hero MotoCorp's latest flagship in the premium mid-capacity segment, designed to challenge established players with a blend of performance and value. Featuring an aggressive and muscular naked streetfighter aesthetic, it is engineered for both daily commuting and spirited weekend rides. At its heart is a newly developed 399cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine, expected to produce approximately 40 hp and 35 Nm of peak torque. This powertrain is mated to a 6-speed gearbox equipped with a slipper clutch, ensuring smooth transitions and enhanced stability during aggressive downshifts. The motorcycle's handling is anchored by premium hardware, including Upside-Down (USD) front forks for superior feedback and a rear monoshock for balanced comfort. Braking duties are handled by large discs at both ends, supported by a dual-channel ABS system as standard. On the technology front, the Xtreme 400S is packed with modern features such as a full-color TFT instrument cluster, Bluetooth connectivity with turn-by-turn navigation, and a complete LED lighting setup. With a kerb weight of around 170 kg, it promises to be one of the most agile and accessible motorcycles in its class, positioning itself as a formidable rival to the KTM Duke 390 and Triumph Speed 400.
