 Hero Xtreme 160R Launch Date: 

 

Xtreme 160R is a replacement for the defunct Xtreme Sports as it failed to capture bikers' attention. During the festive season in October last year, the company unveiled the Stealth Edition of the street bike with some new features. 

 

 Hero Xtreme 160R Price: 

 

Hero MotoCorp is offering three variants for the street bike: Double Disc, Single Disc, and Stealth. The basic single-disc version costs Rs 114,270 (ex-showroom Delhi) and the top Xtreme 160R Stealth is available at a price of 119,460. 

 

 Hero Xtreme 160R Features: 

 

The frontal portion of the bike looks very muscular and aggressive. The style is based on the Xtreme 1.R concept which the company unveiled at the EICMA in Milan in 2019. Radical headlamps, heavy fuel-tank, and sporty rear portions are key noticeable elements as far as design is concerned. The bike has LED-equipped headlamps and an inverted all-digital LCD console with adjusted brightness element, along with features like USB charger, gear position indicator, side-stand kill, speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, and clock. The bike comes both with a self-start and kicks arrangement.

Xtreme 160R has an air-cooled, four-stroke, 2 valve Single cylinder OHC fuel-injected engine on offer. The engine's max power and max torque are 11.2 kW at 8,500 rpm and 14 Nm at 6,500 rpm respectively. The suspension duties in the front are performed by the telescopic system with an anti-friction bush, while the rear suspension is 7-step rider-adjustable monoshock. The 163-cc bike has a manual transmission with five gears. The breaking is supported by a single-channel anti-braking system (ABS). While the estimated top speed is 105-110 kmph, riders can expect a mileage of 45-50 kmpl.
