    The Hero Xtreme 160R isn’t far away from its official launch date

    [Update: Hero Xtreme 160R Launched In India. Click Here For More Details]

    • The bike was initially set to be launched in March 2020.
    • It comes packed with features like LED lights all around, a digital instrument console and a side stand cut-off switch.
    • Powered by a 160cc fuel-injected, air-cooled motor.
    • Expected to be priced around Rs 90,000 to 95,000.

    Hero MotoCorp entered the entry-level performance commuter segment a couple of months ago with the Xtreme 160R. The bike was meant to be launched in March 2020 but failed to make its debut thanks to the lockdown. But now, as the government relaxes the lockdown restrictions, two-wheeler manufacturers seem to be getting back on track. And one of the first steps from Hero MotoCorp is to start accepting test rides registrations on its website for the Xtreme 160R. This also means that the bike isn’t far away from its official launch in India.

    The bike adopts a sporty design language, which is a welcome change. It also comes with a number of features including LED lights all around, a digital instrument console, side stand engine cutoff switch, and hazard lamps. 

    Powering the bike is a BS6-compliant 160cc fuel-injected, air-cooled motor that offers 15.2PS at 8500rpm and 14Nm at 6500rpm. The engine comes with an Auto Sail feature which is Hero's lingo for GTT (Glide Through Traffic). In layman's terms, it works as a torque assist system which bumps up engine torque when you want to amble around at low speeds. More information about the Xtreme 160R available here.

    Expect the Hero Xtreme 160R to be priced around Rs 90,000 to 95,000 (ex-showroom). It’ll compete against bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar 150TVS Apache RTR 160 2VSuzuki Gixxer, Honda CB Hornet 160RYamaha FZ-FI V3.0 Pulsar NS160 and the Apache 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.
