                  performance with sporty looks.
                  I have loved this bike since my childhood. It has always been my dream bike. I touched this bike through my brother and have also ridden it. I love the handling and comfort, and I have decided to buy this bike. There are many good things to see in this bike. Last but not least, I definitely want this bike in my home.

                  Best in Segment
                  It may not be the best value for money, but it is better than others in this segment. The riding GPS lacks proper guidance and needs improvement. The red colour does not look attractive when riding off-road. The maintenance cost is also high due to the electronic components.

                  overly hapyy . good . choice
                  Sporty character and a beginner-friendly bike, but the top-end performance is not good. One downside is that it has only 5 gears. However, the low maintenance cost is a plus. No hassle. Someone asked me whether it was the N150 or N160, which was a bad experience for me. How do I explain that it is the SS variant and is better than other 160cc bikes. But its colour TFT is amazing. Love it!

                  awesome 👍
                  Upgrade jabadast hai lekin 18.5 power hone ke bawjud 5 gear hi hai, kam se kam 6 gear dena chahiye tha bajaj walon ko. Chalate samay 6th gear ki kami mahsoos hoti hai. 6th gear hota to chalane me or bhi maja aata. Top speed bhi kam hai. 6th gear hota to aaram se 140-145 top speed hoti. Baki sab thik hai.

                  Best bike in this segment
                  Maine N160 SS isliye chuni kyunki power aur mileage ka balance mast hai. 160cc engine city me smooth aur long ride me bhi bore nahi karti. ABS, digital meter aur wo aggressive styling, paise wasool lagti hai. Mere hisaab se N160 SS ab tak ekdum jhakaas hai. City me halki, traffic me easy. Highway pe 90-100 pe bhi stability solid hai. Seat comfortable, mileage 44 mil rahi. Bas initial gear thoda tight hai, baaki sab mast. Ye bike to mai jarur recommend karunga. Roz ke kaam or kabhi long ride dono ke liye N160 SS best hai. Look premium, mileage 45, aur maintenance bhi kam hai. Agar 1.6 lac me sporty practical bike chahiye to aankh band karke le lo.

                  Winner from Hero!
                  Absolutely the best in its segment. Feels like you are riding a bike. Much better than Aerox in terms of riding posture, comfort and overall performance. Some minor quirks like a dated instrument cluster, unimaginative glove box, limited storage etc. Engine performance and acceleration is nice - Aerox is tad faster. Go for Xoom 160 without a doubt!

                  Major Hit with some Flaws
                  I chose this bike as I wanted an upgraded version, bigger tyre size, better power, and with an ABS, good suspension and a bit of off-roading as Mumbai roads are pathetic . So no other bike in the market offers these things aerox is there but it has a harder suspension that is tough on shoulders positive ride , for someone who uses the scooter for daily commute this is a major upgrade than most of the scooters available in the market. The pickup is good , braking is amazing , the handling is a bit hard, it is just the engine sound that is a bit off Yes I would recommend this bike to anyone who uses Burgman scooters in that segment if they are looking for an upgraded version. Every scooter has its ups and downs but here the ups are more and it is the most practical choice in the Indian market.
