Hero Xtreme 160r
The Hero Xtreme 160R was launched in India in August 2020 as a sporty commuter motorcycle aimed at young urban riders, replacing the older Xtreme 200R in the entry-sport segment. It received a 4-valve engine upgrade and a refreshed design in 2022, positioning it as a direct rival to the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 and TVS Apache RTR 160. It is notable for being one of Hero MotoCorp's most feature-rich 160cc offerings, incorporating LED lighting, a fully digital console, and optional dual-channel ABS.
