Hero MotoCorp has launched the 2024 version of its premium 160cc commuter motorcycle, the Xtreme 160R 4V. With no mechanical changes, Hero has only tweaked the aesthetics, ergonomics and updated the safety features on offer.
Earlier the Xtreme 160R 4V was available in three variants, but now it is only available in one top of the line variant. For 2024 the most obvious addition to the Xtreme 160R 4V is a new colour called Kevlar Brown that’s a shade of copper and black along with similar graphics as before.
This top variant carries over all the features from the outgoing Xtreme 160R 4V along with the addition of dual-channel ABS, and a drag race timer. Additionally, it also gets a new LED tail light that looks similar to Hero’s flagship Mavrick 440 and gets a panic brake alert feature for added safety.
During our time with our long term Xtreme 160R 4V, we’ve had complaints about the comfort of its seat and it seems Hero has taken notice and added a new seat in hopes to enhance both rider and pillion comfort. The Xtreme 160R 4V remains mechanically unchanged and is powered by the same 163cc single-cylinder motor that produces 16.9hp at 8,500 rpm and 14.6Nm at 6,500rpm. It carries over the same hardware and is equipped with a 37mm KYB USD fork at the front and a preload adjustable monoshock at the rear. With a slight price hike of Rs 2,500, the Xtreme 160R 4V is now available at Rs 1.38 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
