Hero MotoCorp has launched a new range-topping variant for the Xtreme 160R 4V range in India, priced at ₹1,34,100 (ex-showroom). With the new variant, the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V gets a new ride-by-wire throttle system that enables cruise control, among other features.

Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Cruise Control: Engine and Chassis

All mechanical hardware, including the chassis, braking setup and suspension, remain unchanged from the standard line-up. The motorcycle continues to be powered by the 163.2 cc, air-oil-cooled, four-valve engine producing 16.6 bhp and 14.6 Nm, paired with a five-speed gearbox.

Suspension duties are handled by 37 mm KYB inverted forks and a 7-step preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear. Braking performance comes from a 276 mm front and 220 mm rear petal disc with dual-channel ABS offered as standard on the cruise control variant. The motorcycle rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with 100/80-section front and 130/70-section rear tyres.

The launch further expands the existing Xtreme 160R 4V range, positioning the new variant above the Standard, Connected and Premium trims. The motorcycle continues to compete in the premium 160 cc streetfighter category against the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Bajaj Pulsar N160, Pulsar NS160, Suzuki Gixxer and Yamaha FZ FI V4.
