Bike is very good looking
Bike is very good looking not gonna lie. It's not for a average daily user because of mileage. It give 30-35 mileage on average. Overall performance is good. Top speed is 113 kmph on urban mode and by using sports mode it goes upto 125 kmph. It also comes with a rain mode. Maintenance is little costly comparing to a average bike.

Good performance
Good mileage and safety was very very good and no need to discuss about the speed it was really an good experience to me. The speed war near lt was on the roads highways the speed goes high we can drive on the streets the mileage goes low and when we go to the highway then the mileage increases and it is useful.

My Opinion on hero Xtreme 160r
Speed and look are awesome. And handling are outstanding. By the way. It's value for money. Iam saying like this because iam using this bike from 1 year and it's still giving me it's best. But theres only speed limit of 120. One thing I like the most are it's headlight it's so bright and clear you can see properly in the night and dark areas

Hero xtreme 160r disadvantages
Average is too low and maintenance cost was so high for this. More bikes in same segment are also giving better experience. You can buy apache rtr and 4v in same segment. I suggested to purchase other bikes. But this bike looks so satisfying even in hero brand. It looks classy and racy and in black and red colour it looks just amazing.
