    The updated model is all set to be launched on 14th June

    Hero MotoCorp has once again teased the 2023 Xtreme 160R, revealing a few more new details. This comes after the bikemaker teased the wheels of the upcoming bike and announced the 14th June launch date. The major highlight from the teaser is that the engine will now get 4-valve technology, so power and torque figures are likely to increase slightly from the 15.2PS and 14Nm made by the current 163cc air-cooled heart.

    Thanks to the four-valve tech, expect the engine to be more refined too. Of course, it will also have to be BS6.2 and E20 fuel compliant. The engine cowl, while visually similar, now bears the 4V stickering.

    Another major change that’s incoming is the USD fork, as seen on a test mule as well as on this teaser, which should ensure a better riding experience. The design of the bike is also expected to be slightly more aggressive and sportier than the one currently on sale, possibly with new colour options as well. Features-wise, it is expected to come with a revised LCD instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, like the Xpulse 200 4V.    

    The current Xtreme 160R is priced from Rs 1,18,350 (ex-showroom Delhi) onwards and the 2023 model is expected to command a premium of Rs 6,000 over it. Once launched, the 2023 Hero Xtreme 160R will rival the likes of the Bajaj Pulsar NS160, Pulsar N160, Suzuki Gixxer, Yamaha FZ-S, and the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V.

      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.

      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.
