The Hero Xtreme 160R 2V is Hero MotoCorp’s answer to the popular 160cc streetfighter segment.

Price:

The current Hero Xtreme 160R 2-valve costs Rs 1,21,636 for the single-disc variant while the double-disc variant carries a sticker price of Rs 1,24,986. The Xtreme 160R Stealth Edition 2.0 retails at Rs 1,26,804 while the range-topping Connected edition retails at Rs 1,32,832 (all ex-showroom Delhi).

Features:

The most notable feature on the Xtreme 160R is the segment-first all-LED lighting system. It also gets a fully digital instrument cluster with a side-stand indicator apart from a regular trove of information; though there’s no real-time mileage indicator, which the more affordable Hero Passion Pro gets. The naked bike also comes with a hazard lamp warning function. The Stealth Edition 2.0 comes with a gear position indicator on the console, and a USB charging port under the handlebar. It also comes equipped with Hero Connect, allowing you to trace the live location of the motorcycle and even receive an alert once it crosses a preset speed limit.

Engine:

The Hero Xtreme 160R is powered by a 163cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected, air-cooled engine which produces 15.2PS at 8500rpm and 14Nm at 6500rpm. It works in tandem with a five-speed transmission.

The Xtreme 160R 4V, on the other hand, gets a 4-valve engine with 16.9PS and 14.6Nm, making it more powerful than the 2V.

Suspension & Brakes:

The Hero Xtreme 160R is built on a tubular diamond frame linked to a 37mm telescopic front fork on the 2V model as well as the standard and Connect 4V models. On the other hand, the 4V Pro gets a more sophisticated 37mm KYB USD fork. Both bikes get a  seven-step preload-adjustable rear monoshock. The 17-inch alloy wheels are shod with 100-section front and a 130-section rear radial rubber. For braking, the bike uses a 276mm front petal disc while at the rear, you can either opt for a 220mm petal disc or a 130mm drum. In any case, single-channel ABS is standard. In terms of heft, it weighs 138.5kg for the base variant and 139.5kg for the rear disc brake-equipped variant, making it one of the lightest bikes in the class.
