Expert's Opinion on Xtreme 160R

Overview

Smooth City Slicker

The Hero Xtreme 160R 2V is the manufacturer’s first 160cc streetfighter
It offers a great mix of sporty riding and everyday commuting
While it’s not the most powerful bike in the segment, it’s well liked for its easy-going nature and nimble handling
The Hero Xtreme 160R 2V was updated recently with a single piece seat with a flatter profile, sleeker tail-end, H-shaped taillight and new colour schemes

Design

Muscular Streetfighter

The large side panel than runs from the tank to the back makes the bike quite muscular
The unique headlight design, upswept tail section and the overall sharp design lines give it a sporty vibe
Build quality of the switchgear could have been better
Indicator switch is placed too high making it a bit uncomfortable to use on a daily basis

Performance & Mileage

Smooth Operator

The motor provides smooth and quick acceleration
It has good mid-range performance, which makes as it fun bike when ridden in a spirited manner In our real world tests, the bike returned mileage figures of 55.47kmpl in the city and 47.38kmpl on the highway
The streetfighter accelerated from 0-60kmph in 5.62 seconds during our real world tests
Post 7,000rpm, vibrations can be felt at the footpegs and the handlebar

Handling

Agile And Lightweight

The bike has very agile handling characteristics and tips into corners easily
The light kerb weight of the bike also makes it easy to manoeuvre in the city or through twisty corners in the hills
These factors make it easy to move in and out of traffic on the Xtreme 160R 2V
The brakes offer really good stopping power and the feedback is good as well
The bike’s straight line stability could’ve been better, and feels a bit shaky at high speeds

Ride Quality

Good But Could’ve Been Better

The suspension setup offers a plush ride quality on most surfaces
It almost glides over smaller bumps and rough roads
Over on really bad roads with large bumps and potholes, the shocks are transferred to the rider

Comfort & Storage

Not So Comfy

The spaced out footpegs and upright handlebar make the bike comfortable for taller riders
The not-so-tall seat height makes the bike accessible for shorter riders as well
- The sharply curved rider’s seat translates to an uncomfortable experience during those long hours on the saddle
The pillion seat is a bit tipped forward which can cause discomfort for some people

Features

Not So Feature-Packed

The all-LED lighting setup makes the bike feel premium
The drag race timer on the instrument console is a nifty and unique feature
The negatively-lid console doesn’t offer good visibility under harsh sunlight
The absence of turn-by-turn navigation feels like a big miss

Verdict

Decent Option As A Daily Commuter

The Hero Xtreme 160R 2V offers a decent package of smooth performance, great handling capabilities, decent ride quality and an adequate list of features
The bike is suitable for someone looking for a sporty 160cc bike with decent hardware and features at an affordable price range
But by shelling out about Rs 27,000 more, one can opt for the 160R 4V, which offers superior performance, premium hardware and a much better features list

Pros and Cons of Xtreme 160R

Likes

Great ride and handling
Sporty design
Good and comfortable riding ergonomics

Dislikes

Less mileage compared to other 160cc motorcycles
Performance could have been better
Offers nothing special to standout in the segment

Expert's Conclusion

The Xtreme 160R is one of the most exciting street fighters to come out of the company’s stables. It packs good styling, performance and dynamics to take on its competition. Although, there is the Xtreme 160R 4V that offers better performance and a more refined engine.
