Pros Cons of Hero Xtreme 160R

Pros

  • Fun to ride
  • Robust design
  • Value for money

Cons

  • Uncomfortable pillion seat
  • Basic looking instrument panel
  • Brakes are inadequate at higher speeds

Verdict

Tuned to offer an exciting ride, the Hero Xtreme 160R is one of the most value for money product available in the market currently. The desginers have made a more than decent effort to make the motorcyle look classy yet practical at the same time. But, some efforts could've been made to make it comfortable for the pillion and providing with a slightly better looking instrument panel that looks outdated in today's day and age. Brakes falls short to offer safety at higher speeds.

Pros Cons KTM 250 Duke

Pros

  • Updated 249 cc engine with 30.57 bhp and 25 Nm of torque, providing a smooth and engaging ride
  • Significant weight reduction of 8 kg, improving agility and handling
  • Advanced features like a 5-inch LCD screen, Bluetooth connectivity, ride-by-wire, and quick-shifter

Cons

  • Vibrations noticeable between 4500 to 5500 rpm, particularly during highway cruising
  • Stiff ride quality despite increased suspension travel, which may be uncomfortable on rough roads
  • Pillion seat could benefit from better padding for longer rides

Verdict

The KTM 250 Duke gets design inspired by the KTM 1290 Super Duke. The motorcycle also gets a dual-channel supermoto ABS mode. The 250 Duke continues to be powered by a BS6 compliant 248.8 cc single-cylinder engine which makes 30.50 bhp of power at 9250 rpm and 25 Nm of peak torque at 7250 rpm. In terms of rivals, it goes up against the Suzuki Gixxer 250 and its sibling, the Husqvarna 250 Twins. It is one of best options in the 250 cc naked sport motorcycles.
