                  Hero Xtreme stealth edition dual disc
                  I recently tried hero Xtreme 160r stealth edition for my daily city ride and what stood out immediately was the puncy and low end performance that make stop and go traffic feel effortless, the gear shift are predictible, the bike feel planted and the start and tell feature is surprisingly convenient when you are in rush.

                  My Hero bike
                  It is an awesome bike. Good colour combination, good engine, great pickup and a good mileage. Comfortable while riding makes it a great bike for day to day commute. It is an awesome bike in any way you look at it. It is also low maintenance so you wouldn't need to worry about servicing very often. I had a great time riding it for more than 2 years.

                  Over all good bike and also it's all versions
                  Riding quality is too good. Very huge and look is too brilliant. Just 155 cc but still beat any 200 cc bike. Engine is too reliable. Average is very good compare to other bikes. It gives me 40km per litre mileage and this is too good because it's a sports bike and still it give 40 kmpl mileage. I like it.

                  A good sports bike
                  This bike is meant for our age group especially for age group between 18 to 25 years. Going for long drive on this bike will feel like participating in bike race as pick is so good and balance is also very good. Pick up of this bike is very good and you will not feel tired after having long drives. And balance of this bike is very phenomenal and due to which chances of skidding is very less even on slippery roads. Yes, I recommend this bike specially for youngsters who like to ride a racing bike. This has amazing pick up and drives smoothly even on mud and bumpy roads. Though the mileage is low and drives smoothly.

                  Bike's performance is an excellent, powerful pickup, starts easily, one handed used only, driven 7700 km only within 3 and half years. Overall experience is memorable, sound is normal, highway experience is totally amazing, driving R15S vs other bikes is totally different, average can be maintained if we drive well.

                  The best bike of segment
                  Its a stylish bike. Very good looking and powerful with a muscular body and heavy duty. I love the bike since beginning, my dream bike and very solid bike. Better in every aspect in mileage, great in looks and performance. It's very sharp looking and comfortable for long rides also a good mileage provider, good acceleration and pickup, fast, smooth, tension free riding and less maintenance bike for sure. In this price range, it's the best. The best bike. I would definitely recommend to young guys, not for old grandpa's, it gonna make you feel royal and elegant, very strong presence and that's why I am recommending this bike to all of my friends.
