Updated Hero Xtreme 160R All Set To Launch Tomorrow

The 2023 iteration will feature a more powerful 4-valve engine and an upside-down fork

Hero has once again teased the upcoming Xtreme 160R, and its set for launch tomorrow. The 2023 iteration will have a more powerful engine with sportier underpinnings than its predecessor.

As the latest teaser suggests, the street naked will get a new golden USD fork, replacing its telescopic unit. This new model’s engine will retain the same 163cc displacement but thanks to a new 4-valve head, it should get a slight bump in torque and power, as well as slightly better refinement. For reference, the outgoing model produced 15.2PS  and 14Nm.  

Along with the engine, the bike will also feature a new revamped design with sportier styling and new colour options giving the bike a more premium appeal. Additionally, the bike is also expected to replace its basic LCD console with the new digital cluster, likely with smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, which we just saw on the updated XPulse 200 twins. 

Summing up, the updated Hero Xtreme 160R is expected to command a premium of Rs 6000 to Rs 8000 over the current model which costs Rs 1.19 lakh. And with rivals like the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V packing the latest tech, this update for the Xtreme 160R was long overdue.

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.Read More
