After riding it for daily commutes & highway rides, here’s what we think about it

The Xtreme 160R 4V has a sporty streetfighter design that looks very appealing

With 15PS & 14Nm, it is not the fastest 160cc bike out there, but has decent power

The Xtreme 160R 4V picks up speed slowly & feels lazy while accelerating

It lacks the performance that you expect from a sporty bike & struggles to overtake on the highway

With a mix of riding in city traffic & the highway, it delivered a mileage of 35-37kmpl

However, if you ride it gently, then the Xtreme 160R 4V can give a mileage of 40kmpl or more

If you are under 6ft tall then the bike would be comfortable for you, but taller riders may feel a little cramped

The pillion seat is placed higher & is not very comfortable

It has a very comfortable suspension setup that absorbs most potholes & broken roads

Brakes have a good feel & initial bite. The ABS also works very well & stops the bike efficiently

If you are someone, who isn’t very performance focused & wants a sporty streetfighter, then the Xtreme 160R can be a good pick
