BREAKING: The Gixxer Is The Priciest 160cc Bike On Sale Now!

The price hike comes on the same day as the launch of the Honda X-Blade BS6, which has also become a lot pricey in its BS6 avatar. Still, you can save up to nearly Rs 4,000 if you opt for the twin disc X-Blade over the Gixxer. Needless to say, Hero has managed to ace the pricing of the Xtreme 160R, making it the most affordable bike in the class.

The Gixxer and the Gixxer SF are powered by the same 155cc SOHC air-cooled, fuel-injected motor. In its BS6 tune, the engine produces 13.6PS at 8000rpm and 13.8Nm at 6000rpm. While the Gixxer manages to produce roughly the same power as the X-Blade, the Honda, thanks to its extra cubes, is torquier by 0.9Nm. The Xtreme 160R is the most powerful of the trio, putting out 15.23PS and 14Nm.

The Gixxer was one of our favourite bikes in the segment and while its ride appeal has not diminished, it's taken a serious hit in the value-for-money department.
