Hero Xtreme Updates

Monday, 04 November 2024 04:07 PM Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to launch the new Xtreme 250R at EICMA 2024, based on the Hero2.5 Xtunt concept. The bike will feature an aggressive design with an angular headlamp housing, an H-shaped LED DRL, and a muscular fuel tank. It is expected to be powered by a 250 cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, single-cylinder engine producing around 28-30 bhp. I think this new model could be a game-changer for Hero in the 250cc segment.

Friday, 13 September 2024 06:47 PM The 2024 Hero Xtreme 160R 2V now comes with a single-channel ABS and a single-disc variant, unlike the previous model which had both single-disc and dual-disc variants. The bikes price has been reduced by Rs 10,525, making it more competitive in the market. It still features a 12-litre fuel tank and weighs 139.5 kg (kerb). I believe the price cut will attract more buyers.

Friday, 13 September 2024 03:15 PM Hero MotoCorp has confirmed that the 2024 Xtreme 160R 2V will be available in only one color option, Stealth Black, with red accents on the headlamp bezels, underbelly sump guard, and wheel rims. The bike also includes features like LED headlights with position lamps and a fully-digital instrument console. I think the single color option simplifies the buying process.

Tuesday, 10 September 2024 05:59 AM The 2024 Hero Xtreme 160R 2V has been launched with several updates, including a new H-shaped tail light, a drag race timer, and a flatter single-piece seat for improved comfort. The bike is now priced at Rs 1.11 lakh (ex-showroom), making it Rs 10,000 more affordable than the previous model. It also features a fully-digital instrument console, USB charging port, and Bluetooth connectivity. I believe these updates make the Xtreme 160R 2V a more attractive option in its segment.

Tuesday, 10 September 2024 09:00 PM Hero MotoCorp has introduced minor styling tweaks to the 2024 Xtreme 160R 2V, including revised H-shaped tail lights and a new Stealth Black paint scheme with red accents. The bike retains its 163.2cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine producing 14.79 bhp and 14 Nm of peak torque. The updates also include a drag race timer and a more comfortable pillion seat. I think the new color scheme gives it a sleeker look.

Friday, 26 July 2024 12:33 AM The 2024 Hero Xtreme 160R 4V was launched earlier in July with significant updates, including a new color scheme, dual-channel ABS, a drag race timer, and a panic brake alert system. These features have now been carried over to the Xtreme 160R 2V, enhancing its appeal. I believe these additions make the bike more appealing to performance enthusiasts.

Tuesday, 13 June 2023 02:50 PM The Hero Xtreme 160R was expected to receive significant mechanical and electronic updates in 2023, but the major updates came in the 2024 model instead. The anticipation around these updates highlighted the bikes popularity and the markets expectations from Hero. I believe the updates were worth the wait.

Thursday, 14 October 2021 11:21 PM Hero MotoCorp had teased the Xtreme 160R Stealth Edition in 2021, which featured a matte black color option and new features like a dark paint scheme with both matte and gloss finishes. This edition was introduced during the festive season. I think such special editions help keep the model fresh in the market.

Thursday, 25 June 2020 07:17 PM The Hero Xtreme 160R was initially launched with a focus on being a premium commuter motorcycle, offering a good balance of design and performance. It featured a 163cc engine, a 5-speed gearbox, and Hero’s patented XSens technology. I believe it set a high standard for commuter bikes in India.

Thursday, 25 June 2020 06:37 PM Hero MotoCorp had planned to launch the Xtreme 160R in India soon after starting the registration process for test rides, indicating its readiness for the market. This move was part of their strategy to expand their presence in the 160cc segment. I think this strategic move helped them gain traction quickly.
