OVERVIEW & PRICE

Performance and Engine

Powered by a 163.2 cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with air-oil cooling and four valves, the Xtreme 160R 4V delivers a healthy 16.9 PS at 8,500 rpm and 14.6 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Its liberal midrange and crisp throttle response make it one of the peppiest offerings in its class.
The manufacturer-claimed top speed for the Xtreme 160R 4V is 115 km/h, which allows it to confidently keep pace on open stretches and expressways. Drivetrain duties are handled by a five-speed constant-mesh gearbox featuring a wet multi-plate clutch that offers light lever action and positive shifts—a setup refined for quick gearchanges whether carving through traffic or powering out of corners.

MILEAGE and Fuel Efficiency

In everyday riding conditions, owners report real-world fuel efficiency in the 44–46 km/l range, depending on riding style, traffic conditions, and load.
The Xtreme 160R 4V’s ARAI-tested fuel economy figure of 48 km/l ranks it among its segment’s most fuel-efficient performance bikes.

Features & Technology

The Hero Xtreme 160R 4V is packed with modern features, including:

  1. Advanced 4-valve, Air-Oil-Cooled Engine with BS6-2.0 compliance for optimized combustion and broader torque band.
  2. Dual-channel ABS paired with 276 mm front and 220 mm rear disc brakes for confident stopping power.
  3. Full LED Lighting: Daytime running lights, headlamps, tail lamps and turn indicators for enhanced visibility and a sculpted look.
  4. Fully Digital Instrument Cluster with Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation assist, multiple riding modes, trip meters and gear-position indicator.
  5. Sporty Chassis & Suspension: Diamond-type frame with KYB 37 mm inverted front fork and 7-step adjustable mono-shock for agile handling and stability
  6. 17-inch Alloy Wheels shod with tubeless tyres (100/80 front, 130/70 rear) for a balance of grip and ride comfort
  7. Split-Step Seat & Ergonomics: 795 mm seat height and slightly rear-set footpegs for a sporty yet manageable riding posture
  8. 12 L Fuel Tank with sculpted tank shrouds for style and sufficient range between fill-ups

HANDLING

Built around a diamond-type underbone frame and KYB suspension, the Xtreme 160R 4V balances agility with high-speed stability. Its relatively stiff front and rear damping settings keep the chassis planted during hard braking or quick direction changes while effectively absorbing mid-speed undulations. Long-term road tests praise its confidence-inspiring behaviour through twisty ghat sections, noting precise steering feedback and minimal flex even under aggressive cornering.

COMFORT

Ergonomically, the Xtreme 160R 4V aims for a sporty yet livable riding posture. The split-step seat is sculpted to hold the rider firmly, offering sufficient cushioning once it settles in. However, some users find it firm on very long rides. Overall ride quality is highly rated for daily commutes and occasional highway blasts. Vibrations are well contained at cruising speeds, and the handlebar-to-peg positioning strikes a good balance between sportiness and fatigue-free touring.

BUILD QUALITY

The Hero Xtreme 160R 4V presents a mix of premium touches and a few cost-saving measures. Many riders appreciate its tight panel fitment, crisp paint finish and well-aligned graphics that convey a sense of solidity and attention to detail. However, a few expert reviewers have pointed out that specific plastic components—such as the switchgear housings and under-belly covers—feel less robust than rival offerings, suggesting there’s room for Hero to elevate the tactile quality in future iterations.

STYLING

COLOR OPTIONS AND VARIANTS

The Hero Xtreme 160R 4V is available in three color options:

  1. Stealth Black
  2. Neon Shooting Star
  3. Kevlar Brown

It comes in two variants:

  1. Xtreme 160R 4V (Disc)
  2. Xtreme 160R 4V Single Disc OBD2B

VALUE FOR MONEY AND PRICING

With Ex-Showroom Prices starting from ₹ 1,40,600 Ex-showroom onwards priced in the heart of the premium 160 cc streetfighter segment, the Xtreme 160R 4V offers advanced tech usually reserved for higher-displacement machines. Its combination of first-in-segment safety (panic-brake alert), performance (drag-timer, 4-valve mill), and chassis hardware (USD forks, mono shock) undercut many rivals with only marginal compromises. For buyers seeking the latest tech and sporty dynamics without stepping into the ₹1.3–1.6 lakh cruiser class, the Xtreme 160R 4V delivers exceptional bang for your buck.

VERDICT

The Hero Xtreme 160R 4V strikes a compelling balance between everyday usability and sporty flair. Its refined four-valve engine, premium suspension and comfortable ergonomics make it an excellent urban commuter with weekend-blast capability.
However, the lack of a sixth gear, a dim LED beam, and a premium price tag are factors that weigh against its segment-leading feature set. For riders seeking advanced kit—USD forks, slipper clutch, digital console—wrapped in a sharp streetfighter package, the Xtreme 160R 4V remains one of the most feature-rich choices in the 160 cc class.

PROS

  • Refined 163.2 cc, Four-Valve Engine: Delivers smooth, tractable power and crisp throttle response in city and highway riding.
  • Great Suspension Tuning: KYB upside-down forks up front and a well-damped rear mono-shock soak up urban bumps and highway undulations with equal poise.
  • Comfortable Ergonomics: Upright riding posture, a well-cushioned split-step seat and balanced handlebar-to-peg placement minimize rider fatigue over long commutes.
  • Excellent Display & Stability: The negative-LCD console remains legible even in bright sunlight. At the same time, the chassis offers confident high-speed stability and precise steering feedback.

CONS

  • Premium Pricing: Positioned at the higher end of the 160 cc segment, it undercuts only marginally on rivals yet packs in advanced hardware, making it “not so affordable anymore”.
  • Top-End Performance Blandness: While the mid-range is punchy, the engine feels under-whelming beyond 85–90 km/h, limiting enjoyment at outright speed.
  • Missing Sixth Gear: The five-speed gearbox forces higher revs on expressways, causing minor vibrations and reducing refinement during sustained cruising.
  • Dim LED Headlight Throw: The full-LED headlamp’s beam lacks reach in poor light or rain, requiring riders to moderate speed after dusk.
  • Difficult Readability in Glare (Some Reports): A few users note the instrument console can be challenging to read under harsh, low-angle sunlight.
