The highly anticipated Hero Xtreme 160R 4V has finally hit the market, and it’s turning heads with its impressive performance and sleek design. This bike is a game-changer in the 160cc segment, offering a perfect blend of power, efficiency, and style.
The Xtreme 160R 4V boasts a 163cc, air-cooled, four-valve engine that delivers a maximum power of 16.9 PS at 8,500 rpm and a peak torque of 14.6 Nm at 6,500 rpm. This updated engine, paired with a 5-speed gearbox, provides smooth and responsive acceleration, making it the fastest 160cc bike in the segment.
One of the standout features of the Xtreme 160R 4V is its lightweight design. With a kerb weight of just 144-145 kg, it offers an impressive power-to-weight ratio, allowing for nimble handling and easy maneuverability. The bike’s lightweight also contributes to its impressive acceleration, with the 0-60 kmph sprint achieved in just 4.41 seconds.
The Xtreme 160R 4V comes equipped with several advanced features, including an all-LED lighting system, a fully-digital instrument cluster, and Bluetooth connectivity. The bike also features a USB charger, making it convenient for riders to keep their devices powered up on the go.
In terms of design, the Xtreme 160R 4V features a muscular and aggressive look, with a bold fuel tank and an upswept tail section. The bike is available in three color options: red, white, and blue, as well as a limited edition red-white color scheme.
The Xtreme 160R 4V also boasts impressive handling capabilities, thanks to its 37mm KYB USD forks at the front and a 7-step adjustable monoshock at the rear. The bike’s lightweight and well-tuned suspension make it a joy to ride through corners, with excellent high-speed stability.
Braking performance is also impressive, with disc brakes at both ends and a single-channel ABS system as standard. However, some may feel that the bike could have benefited from a dual-channel ABS option for added safety.
One of the most impressive aspects of the Xtreme 160R 4V is its fuel efficiency. The bike delivers an ARAI-certified mileage of 47.38 kmpl, making it one of the most fuel-efficient bikes in its class. Real-world mileage figures reported by owners range from 45-48 kmpl, depending on riding conditions.
The Hero Xtreme 160R 4V is priced at ₹1.27 lakhs for the base variant and goes up to ₹1.36 lakhs for the top-spec Pro variant. Despite the new updates, Hero has maintained the same price point as the previous generation Xtreme 160R, making it an attractive option for buyers looking for a high-performance bike at a competitive price.
