Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Price in Edappally

The best bike in this segment. Comfort, style, economy. It's now nearly 2000 km. Getting 47 km per ltr. Engine performance and sound are really good. Wide tires allow you to go steady at a very slow speed. Sometimes tried to put sixth gear, it's just five only. It's a little heavy too. Dont know how the side stand carries this weight.

Buying the bike was easy as the salesperson was eager to sell it. However, they didn't even let the users have a proper Test ride.
In my case, I had to visit the service centre just 10 days after purchase. Everything in my bike stopped working headlights wouldn't turn on, the meter wouldn't display anything, no indicator, and Self-start would work when the bike was in neutral.
And after that, my bike was at the service centre for almost 1 month. I visited the service centre more than 10 times during that period each time they would say it would be fixed tomorrow, or the technician who knew about it was away on training or they had requested help from Hero's main office, but nothing was happening. At last, I had to take the legal route and reach out to a lawyer and only when we served them a legal notice was it finally fixed.
It's been 1 year since then, the main problem with the bike is that its mileage is comparable to 350 cc bikes like Hunter Or Royal Enfield Classic, it's even worse than these. In my case, the maximum mileage I ever got is 30. I even met a guy who had purchased the top model with the telescopic forks and that guy told me that he gets a mileage of 25 and he was so frustrated that he was even planning to sell it.
One other problem with the bike is in the morning if I ride it at a very low speed, like 15-20 kmph it would go like it's taking air and sometimes even stop abruptly. I reported this problem to the service centre on my 2nd service and they replaced some parts and it made it even worse. Especially in winter, I cannot go below 20 Or it would stop. Every time I cross a speed breaker in the morning it creates problems so much so that it's frustrating.
Feels like Hero didn't know what it was doing while manufacturing this. Not a good experience so far.

The specs offered at this price are very justifiable. Getting Radial tires and USD forks in the package is awesome. The ride quality is great. You can learn a lot of riding skills on this. It’s good for corners and leaning. But I love your counter lean as you would on a dirt bike. The service experience was decent.
