The bike now comes with new safety features including dual-channel ABS and emergency brake lights

Hero Xtreme 160R 4V New Update

Hero MotoCorp has launched the 2024 updated edition of the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V. The bike now comes with a new Kevlar Brown colour scheme which is priced at Rs 1,39,500 (ex-showroom), the other colours Neon Shooting Star and Stealth Black come at Rs 1,38,500 (ex-showroom). The bike has undergone a couple of changes, with addition of new safety features. It is now offered in one variant, instead of 3 different ones like it was earlier. Here’s our explainer on what the bike now has to offer in this department.

Dual Channel ABS

The first change that has to be highlighted is the addition of dual-channel ABS. This will go a long way in enhancing the overall safety that the bike has to offer.

This is a welcome move, but overall feels like Hero is a little late to this party as the Xtreme 160R 4V’s rivals like the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V got the upgrade much early on.

Console Updates

With the 2024 update, the Xtreme 160R 4V gets the negatively lit LCD instrument console as the previous versions of this bike, but the console has now undergone an increase in its brightness. During our tests with the older version of the bike, one of the issues we had was that the console wasn’t readable under harsh sunlight, hopefully this increased brightness will help solve that issue.

In terms of readouts, it now comes with a Drag Race Timer which lets you record 0-60kmph accelerations and quarter mile (0-400 meter) accelerations. 

Now that the bike is offered in a single variant, another interesting addition is that all the features that were offered on the previously available connected variant now come as standard. This includes smartphone connectivity and related features such as turn-by-turn navigation and safety features such as geo-fencing and SOS alerts in case of an accident.

Panic Brake Alert

Another safety addition that the bike now gets is emergency braking lights, which flashes the taillight and turn-indicators when the rider slams on the brakes suddenly.

This feature is also a good addition and ensures both the rider’s and also the surrounding traffic safety by alerting them about quick decelerations.

Other than these additions, the bike now also gets a redesigned tail section with a single piece seat replacing the old split seat setup. The new seat will be more comfortable for both the rider and pillion.

Performance and underpinnings wise, the bike remains unchanged and is powered by the same 163.2cc, single-cylinder, air-/oil-cooled, 4-valve engine which produces 16.9PS and 14.6Nm. The bike is built on a diamond frame and is suspended on a KYB inverted fork and a 7-step adjustable monoshock. It rolls on 17-inch alloys with 100-section front and 130-section rear tyres. Braking duties are handled by 276mm front and a 220mm rear petal disc brake.

While the new features have made the bike more wholesome, they have also increased the price of the bike. In addition to that, due to it now being available in only one variant, the entry point is not that affordable anymore, especially compared to its competitors.
