I have this bike for 9 years and is amazing
I have this bike for 9 months now and this bike has really impressed a 250cc bike for this price with great performance, style, comfort is really amazing I think this can beat most of the 250cc bikes. I wish we could have 6 gears in the bike which would have been even amazing I have recommended my friends aswell.

Need 6 gear
5 speed gear box is more than enough for daily commute, it has slipper clutch and more torque machine, it is not meant for sportier bike it is torquish bike, it has led headlight and many led stuffs, fresh design for a pulsar. Value for money at the price segment. Oil cooling system is the only drawback but its not too worse for the performance oil cooling is good.

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.
