Hero Xtreme 160R 4V

The Hero Xtreme 160R 4V is a good naked bike in this segment. The Hero Xtreme 160R has a sporty and aggressive design with sharp lines and a muscular body. It is suitable for both city commuting and occasional highway rides. It also has a better road presence, it is comfier, and now it has a bigger bike feel to it.

A recent purchase review highlighted that the 2024 Hero Xtreme 160R 4V has been well-received for its reliability, updated features like a flat seat and brighter instrument console, and good handling. The reviewer also appreciated the dual-channel ABS and the bikes overall build quality. I believe these updates have made the Xtreme 160R 4V a competitive option in the 160cc segment.

In a long-term review, the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V has shown good ride quality and comfortable suspension, making it suitable for daily commutes and handling various road conditions. However, the bikes performance is described as gradual and not very exciting, especially for those looking for a sporty ride. I think this makes it a solid choice for commuters but not ideal for thrill-seekers.

The 2024 Hero Xtreme 160R 4V has been launched with several significant updates, including the addition of dual-channel ABS, a panic brake alert system, and a drag timer to measure acceleration. The bike also features a new Kevlar Brown paint scheme with black and bronze accents, along with updated body graphics. Additionally, it now comes with a single-piece seat for improved pillion comfort. I believe these updates make the bike more appealing and safer for riders.

The 2024 Hero Xtreme 160R 4V is priced from Rs 1,38,500 to Rs 1,39,500 (ex-showroom, Delhi), marking a price increase of Rs 4,000. The bike is now available in a single fully loaded Premium variant. I believe the price hike is justified given the new features and improvements, but it may affect its competitiveness in the market.

Hero MotoCorp has retained the same 163.2cc single-cylinder, air and oil-cooled engine for the 2024 Hero Xtreme 160R 4V, producing 16.6 bhp and 14.6 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The bikes hardware remains largely unchanged, with USD forks in the front and a preload adjustable monoshock in the rear, along with disc brakes on both ends. I think the consistency in engine performance is a plus, but some might find it a bit underwhelming in terms of excitement.
