Asian Automobiles Pvt Ltd, the authorised distributor of Asian Beast motorcycles for Nepal, has recently launched two new dirt bikes in Nepal. The trading firm established in 2017 to capitalise on the growing automobile sector in Nepal says it has unveiled HYPER-X 250 and AB250 V1, adding to the varieties of dirt bikes already under its name.
Between these two, AB250 V1 has already been launched in Nepal whereas the booking has been opened for Hyper-X 250.
With the increase in craze for dirt bikes in Nepal, the launch of different Asian Beast bikes with affordable pricing has caught the attention of dirt bike lovers here. This very reason has helped the company to gain a decent fan following in Nepal and has rivalled the likes of Crossfire bikes. With almost similar performance, Asian Beast comes with a lower price range than Crossfire bikes. The new launches should provide even better competition.
In this context, let’s look at the major highlights of these two new bikes from Asian Beast.
Hyper-X 250
HYPER-X 250 is the new model in 2021 from Asian Beast. The previous generation of Asian Beast RE250F has retired to make way for the new HYPER-X250. The company claims the current model is lighter, slimmer, and more comfortable for the riders.
The subframe of the bike is made of aluminium for a lightweight body, making it efficient for long-term use. It has a 249.6CC compact engine with a power of 30.20+ BHP @9000 rpm and 22.5NM torque @7000 rpm.
Hyper-X 250 comes with a six-speed gearbox that provides ruthless power and also is equipped with a single cable-actuated acceleration along with an O-ring chain. The bike is also adjusted with the NIBBI PWK n34 racing edition carburettor, which is refined and gives flawless fuel delivery. The bike is equipped with a quick throttle response system for spontaneous response and aggressive power. It also has a liquid cooling system with double radiators and an assisting fan to ensure the engine stays cool throughout the most thrilling rides.
Talking about the suspension of the bike, it is loaded with Fastace Front 47 mm inverted with rebound and compression damping adjustability 251 mm travel and rear Fastace Prolink single shock with spring preload and rebound damping adjustability 116mm travel.
Hyper-X 250 will cost you Rs 540,000. The booking is open now and the company claims the bike will arrive in Nepal before Dashain.

This bike can generate a maximum power up to 30.20 bhp@9000 RPM and 22.5 Nm torque having an 11:6:1 compression ratio. It comes with a six-speed gearbox and also is equipped with a single cable-actuated acceleration along with an O-ring chain. It is adjusted with the NIBBI PWK n34 racing edition carburettor just like the Hyper-X 250.
With 11.5 litres of fuel tank capacity, it provides a mileage of around 20 to 25km/ltr on average. The bike too is equipped with a quick throttle response system for spontaneous response and aggressive power. The AB250V1 also has a liquid cooling system with double radiators and an assisting fan that ensure the engine stays cool.
Talking about the suspension of the bike, it is loaded with Fastace Front 47 mm inverted with rebound and compression damping adjustability 251 mm travel and rear Fastace Prolink single shock with spring preload and rebound damping adjustability 116mm travel.
