They will perform their stunts exclusively on Hero Xtreme Sports motor cycles.

Unlike other countries, in Sri Lanka motor cycle stunts are still at the basic level and Abans take the opportunity to present an international stunt show experience to the participants of the Colombo Motor Show. Abans believe that motor cycle stunts should be developed as a sport in Sri Lanka, like in other countries and hope that their efforts in presenting an international stunt team like Throttlez will create enthusiasm and promote the sport in our country.

The Throttlerz are the title holders of the Indian National Level Stunt Championship and is the first team to perform stunts without a front wheel. They are the first freestyle stunt team in India to be invited to participate in the XDL Competition in Indonesia.

The Hero Xtreme Sports product features live up to this promise. The powerful ATFT engine paired with aggressive street fighter styling is set to appeal to the biking enthusiasts of today, while its abundant aesthetic enhancements give it a distinct look on the road. How is the all new Xtreme Sports different from the earlier models?
