Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Combat Edition Unveiled; Gets Ride Modes, Cruise Control and More!

Hero MotoCorp has unveiled a new variant of the Xtreme 160R 4V called the Combat Edition. The new variant comes with new features that are unique to the segment. While the company has disclosed the new variant on its social media platforms and website, the prices, however, on the website are only of the existing base variant.

Starting with the exterior updates, the Xtreme 160R 4V Combat Edition, the motorcycle gets a new LED headlamp that is borrowed from its elder sibling, the Xtreme 250R. Next, the Combat Edition comes with a new light grey livery with neon highlights which looks sportier and more appealing. Apart from the above, the design for the rest of the motorcycle remains the same.

Next, the motorcycle now comes with cruise control which was first introduced on the Glamour X. Other updates include panic brake alert, and a new multi-colour LCD display equipped with connected features like turn-by-turn navigation and call alerts. Hero has also mentioned that the seat cushioning has been improved for the single-piece saddle and a slightly wider rear tyre.

Powering the Xtreme 160R 4V is the same 163.2cc single-cylinder air-oil-cooled 4-valve engine that is rated to deliver a peak power output of 16.63bhp at 8,500 rpm and peak torque output of 14.6Nm at 6,500 rpm. The motor comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox. For cycle parts, the motorcycle used a tubular underbone diamond type chassis that is suspended by a 37mm USDs sourced from KYB. For the rear, the motorcycle used a 7-step preload-adjustable monoshock. Braking duties are handled by 27 mm disc at the front and a 220mm disc at the rear. The system is assisted by dual-channel ABS as standard.

In the 160cc sporty naked streetfighter-styled motorcycle segment, the Xtreme 160R 4V Combat Edition is expected to carry a premium of Rs 5,000 to 8,000 over the base model pricing. Competition-wise, the new Xtreme 160R 4V will go up against the likes of the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache 160 4V and the newly-launched Yamaha FZ Rave.
