We compare the two 160cc motorcycles through detailed images
Hero recently updated its Xtreme 160R with a 4-valve engine to put up a good fight in the competitive 160cc motorcycle segment. Now, the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has been one of the most sought-after motorcycles in this class, so here’s a lowdown on how the new Hero bike fares against the Apache:
The Hero Xtreme 160R 4V as well as the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V both have a sporty design language. However, while the Apache flaunts sharp and bold lines, the Xtreme 160 4V features curvy, muscular lines.

TVS meanwhile too gets a sharp headlight with LED light as well as DRL, and even the tail light is an LED unit but the indicators are halogen ones.
Both the bikes feature LCD console, and get a bunch of features, but the way these have been used are completely different. The Xtreme 160R 4V comes with a few security, telemetric and even navigation-based features, but these are all app-dependent which makes them quite gimmicky.

The Hero Xtreme 160R 4V comes with a 163.2cc air-/oil-cooled single-cylinder motor that puts out 16.9PS and 14.6Nm.
