The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- A 37 mm KYB upside down fork and dual-channel ABS with petal discs at both ends are proper big-bike hardware for a 160.
- The 4-valve engine makes 16.9 PS and Hero bills it as the fastest 160cc motorcycle, with a built-in drag race timer to prove it.
- The ETB version adds ride-by-wire, cruise control and riding modes for about Rs 5,000 more.
- Panic Brake Alert, full LED lighting and a multicolour display give it a premium feel.
- Sharp streetfighter styling with bold colour options like Neon Shooting Star and Kevlar Brown.
Worth knowing
- At 147.5 kg it is 8 kg heavier than the 2-valve Xtreme 160R.
- The Double Disc version keeps a cable throttle; ride-by-wire and cruise control need the pricier ETB.
- A 12 litre tank is modest for longer rides.
- The ETB at Rs 1,38,180 costs Rs 25,851 more than the 2-valve Xtreme 160R Single Disc.
