Hero - Xtreme Sports vs Passion Xpro - Specs battle

It might seem wierd today to compare a 150cc sports bike with 110cc commuter bike. However let me put it from specs perspective as presented in Hero Website!!!

Xtreme Sports vs Passion Xpro


lets start with  Passion Xpro:
According to Hero, The Passion XPRO combines great power and awesome power (Lol!!!). The 110cc engine with APDV Ignition system and enthralling graphics quite easily makes Passion XPRO one of the most slick bikes in the category. So, take it our for a ride. EXPERIENCE ITS POWER. LET YOUR STYLE SPEAK FOR ITSELF (How can my style attribute to the bike, If so Will Hero pay me for driving the bike with my style!!! Lol! again)


For Xtreme Sports, (Hero assumed that there is no much  description required for the bike and hence they use a single liner!!!) LIVE OFF THE EDGE as opposed to Xpro's single liner STYLE KA COOL ANDAAZ

Initially, I thought Xpro is going to be a local bike and Xtreme is for international customers, but the things started to get wierd once i try to understand the single liners used by Hero. Lets forget it!!! This is not the target audience fight just a specs fight.

Provided above the complete specification of the bikes.

Xtreme sports on one hand hold 150cc engine with 15.6Bhp output power vs 110cc engine with 8.7bph. It might look like Passion Xpro is not a good performer.

But looking at the top speed, dimensions it seems Passion Xpro looks like a winner by itself and commuter also carries sports element which makes it more value for the money! Yes!!!

Xtreme Sports is available for 72,000 (average price in india for single disc version) vs 56000 for the Passion Xpro for self start, alloy wheel and disc brakes!!!

What do you want? Bigger engine with 16,000 more or Perfect Engine that is sufficient enough for Indian Roads!???

Cheers!!!
