    Gets a redesigned seat, new grab rails and gear position indicator, but no price hike

    Hero MotoCorp has launched the 2022 iteration of the Xtreme 160R with minor updates, though these upgrades aren’t accompanied by a price hike. This bike is available in three variants and continues to retail from Rs 1,17,148 (ex-showroom Delhi).

    The 2022 Xtreme 160R now features a gear position indicator on the instrument console on all variants. This feature was earlier available only on the Stealth edition. Additionally, it gets a revised design for the seat along with a new pillion grabrail for increased comfort.

    Apart from the above updates, everything else remains unchanged. The 2022 Xtreme 160R continues to be powered by a 163cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, good for 15.2PS and 14Nm, paired to a five-speed gearbox. Suspension hardware includes a 37mm telescopic fork and a preload-adjustable monoshock, and it comes equipped with 17-inch alloys.

    The Xtreme 160R is available in three variants – single disc, dual disc, and Stealth edition. All variants feature the same design. However, while the single disc version uses a 130mm drum brake at the rear, the dual disc and Stealth editions are equipped with a 276mm front and 220mm rear petal disc. The safety net across the range comprises only single-channel ABS.

    Prices for each of the variants are as listed below.

    Xtreme 160R Single Disc

    Rs 1,17,148

    Xtreme 160R Dual Disc

    Rs 1,20,498

    Xtreme 160R Stealth

    Rs 1,22,338

    Note: All prices are ex-showroom Delhi

    The Xtreme 160R rivals the likes of Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Yamaha FZ-S, Bajaj Pulsar NS160 and Suzuki Gixxer in the Indian market.

      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.

      Totally worth for money .
      Over and all Hero is a good choice for me my whole family have a Bikes of hero. They keep the basic things in mind and make a bike which I feel a a good for a rider. I would be very thankful to Hero for the bike they have made special for 160. I did a ride to Nagpur to ladakh and it was like a 160 cc bike cant do that but unfortunately I did . It was like impossible to possible. The whole credit goes to Hero how bike has been designed and the speed mileage . It feels like no problem even the off-roading also feel like I am sitting in a 4-5 Lakhs bike. Heads off to Hero again. Yes absolutely this bike is like a heaven for middle class people the style, the looks and many more totally worth for the value of the bike. I would always recommend this bike for everyone. There is no negative point first of all . And yeah I would love to express more but yeah that's all for now.

      Excellent Bike, A good Choice for Long Ride Enjoy
      Hero Xtreme 160 R gave me a thrilling Long Drive experience with its 160 cc Engine and smooth Acceleration up to max 110 Kmph and No vibrations at cruising speeds; It is perfect for Hyderabad roads. Suspension absorbs potholes well, offered me very comfort. However, it gave me maximum 43 km per 1 ltr petrol. Its breaking system is wonderful, even in an emergency Stops. It's highly recommended for Fun and Practical Ownership.
