At the heart of the 2012 Hero CBZ Xtreme sport motorcycle, Hero relies on a 149.2 cc (9.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.6 HP (7.7 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 12.8 Nm (9.4 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 71 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the CBZ Xtreme measures 148 kg (326 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (13.96 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,325 mm (52.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12.1-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
