Hero has just launched the Xtreme 160R, a bike that made its first appearance back at the Hero World event and we got to test ride the bike. There is a full blown review as well and you can read that here. But here are some pics of Hero’s new premium 160cc bike.
2/9
The Hero Xtreme 160R gets fairly aggressive styling with a broad tank and a step up seat that appears to be short and stubby.
3/9
The headlamp of the bike looks like it has been taken straight out of a Transformers movie and features all LED lighting and DRLs.
4/9
At the rear, too, the tail lamp features a smoked screen so when the bike isn’t functioning, the lamp melds into the rear becoming almost invisible.
Powering the Xtreme is a 163cc fuel injected single-cylinder that can churn out 15 PS at 8,500 rpm and 14 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Transmission is handled by a 5-speed constant mesh gearbox.
6/9
The output figures may not be best in class but with 138.5 kg at the kerb on the single disc variant, those numbers make a lot of difference.
7/9
Other cycle parts include conventional telescopic forks up front and a rear monoshock and 17 inch alloys that are stopped by a disc at the front and a either a drum or a disc at the back.
8/9
In terms of features, the Xtreme 160R gets LED lighting all around, single-channel ABS, and a digital instrument cluster that is pretty informative.
The Hero Xtreme 160R is a brilliant bike all around with sprightly performance on a comfortable ride. The bike retails at Rs 99,950 for the drum brake variant at Rs 1,03,500 for the dual disc variant.
