Hero MotoCorp has updated its Xtreme 160R 4V with a substantial feature overhaul and tech updates along with refinements to the design. Now the motorcycle is available in three variants. If you are planning to buy one, here’s what to know.
All three variants of the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V retain the 163.2cc air/oil-cooled engine, but peak power has marginally increased to 17.1hp from 16.9hp and is delivered 250rpm later in the rev range at 8,750rpm. The torque figure remains unchanged at 14.6Nm at 6,500rpm. They also share the tubular diamond chassis, steel box-section swingarm, and the rear monoshock. Braking duties are handled by a 276mm disc at the front and 220mm disc at the rear.
