Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Overview

The Xtreme 160R, a motorbike in the sub-200cc roadster market, has been just updated by Hero MotoCorp. This product is offered in three variations in India, which are distinguishable by their unique features, hardware, and color choices. Here, we cover everything about the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V variation.

 
Design
The already attractive 160R hasn't altered much, but the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V looks more aggressive because of its golden forks. These feature a 37mm diameter, which, combined with the Xtreme's slim stance, gives them a much beefier appearance than the ones we've seen on the Pulsar NS 160. A split seat is an additional option that gives the illusion of being sportier.

All of these new items may be retrofitted on the earlier 2V type because the mounting locations or cycle parts haven't changed, adding more power in the form of a belly pan with the 4V badging. Additionally, there are new paint possibilities, such as a daring, unique color combination of a metallic blue and a matte high-visibility yellow, my favorite on the 4V, but it has a matte surface that quickly gets exceptionally filthy. To simulate the attitude of a raging bull, Hero has reduced the location of the LED headlamp and placed tiny winglets beneath. Still, it may not be easy to notice this alteration. The Xtreme 160R 4V price is worth all the features and specifications this Hero bikes gives.

 

 
Powertrain
However, looking closely, you will see a little radiator directly beneath the tank. Since the competition already has one, this is an oil cooler. Although it wasn't necessary, improved cooling is always appreciated in a nation like ours. Even though the engine is air-cooled, this radiator circulates the oil to provide better cooling. The Xtreme's 160cc single engine is a dependable older model that has recently complied with the BSVI phase two requirements and the E20 fuel blend. However, this bike has a four-valve head. It aids in more refined engine behavior and more effective fuel combustion.

It has a distinct advantage over the outdated NS 160 and feels as polished as the brand-new Pulsar N 160 or Apache RTR 160 4V, if not better. So these are the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V specifications.

 

 
Ride and handling
The Standard version of the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Features has standard 37mm forks, whereas the Pro model you see here uses 37mm forks that are upside down. Although we could not ride the Standard, the 2V version, which uses comparable circuitry, is expected to feel the same. The Pro variant's upside-down forks are advantageous since they provide a more controlled front-end feel and less dip while braking. The new Xtreme maintains its light and elegant feel even with the 4-5kg weight increase from the latest gear, whether riding through city traffic or along winding roads. While a dual-channel system would have been safer, the 4V uses a single-channel ABS design. Despite this, the braking performance is generally satisfactory. The brakes seem secure, and the levers have a progressive feel. However, when braking on the gravel, you must be cautious.
