Hero 2024 Xtreme 160R

Hero has heated the streetfighter segment with the new Hero Xtreme 160R. The new streetfighter bike starts at ₹ 1,11,610 in India. The Hero street bike is available in four variants: Xtreme 160R 100 Million Edition, Xtreme 160R Front Disc, Stealth Edition and Xtreme 160R Dual Disc.

The top variant which was recently introduced, the Stealth Edition, starts with a price tag of ₹ 1,17,000. A 163 cc BS6 engine powers the stylish streetfighter bike. It produces a peak torque of 14 Nm at 6500 rpm and generates a maximum capacity of 15 bhp at 8500 rpm. The engine from Hero Xtreme displaces more than 160cc. It is an advanced programmed fuel injection and air-cooled single-cylinder, which helps it generate 15 bhp and 14 Nm.

The Xtreme 160R is Hero’s latest entry to the 150-160 cc sporty segment in India. It has a fuel tank capacity of 12 litres. The BS6 engine offers a mileage of 48 kmpl, and with the advanced programmed fuel injection, Hero claims that one can even expect more than 50 kmpl mileage at economical use.

Hence, you can expect to cruise more than 540 kilometres in one go with a full tank. Moreover, the Xtreme bike weighs just 138 kg and is one of the lightest street bikes, giving it a considerable advantage in handling.

The dual disc variant is equipped with rear and front disc brakes, whereas the other variant, the front disc, has only one disc brake. In addition, Hero has given Xtreme features an anti-lock braking system (ABS) which enhances the braking of this streetfighter bike.

Except for the base model, which has the front disc setup, the other two variants have rear and front disc brakes and ABS technology. Xtreme 160R is also Hero’ solution to TVS Apache RTR 160 and Bajaj Pulsar NS160. The Hero commuter bike has included some great features to offer more values to the consumers. As mentioned above, only the base variant has the front disc brake, and all three models feature alloy wheels and a standard electric start.

Except for Bajaj NS 160’s power in higher speed, the Hero Xtreme 160R gives tough competition to both the Apache and NS160 in terms of affordability, design, quality and features.

Moreover, there is no shortage of versatility in terms of colours as Hero offers four shades for Xtreme, Pearl Silver White, Sports Red, Vibrant Blue, and the latest, 100 Million Ltd Edition.

The Hero Xtreme competes in the street bike section with other bikes such Honda XBlade, TVS Apache RTR 160, and Bajaj Pulsar NS160.
