    See, the buying experience is okay, but not great after having the helmet with the bill we were forced to buy their helmet but I complained about it and resolved it. I believe Hero needs to work on Engine refinement and instrument cluster because there were not many features only basic features were there. The LED headlamp is fine but sometimes it feels like you need a clearer view and more broader LED range. The indicators are good. Fuel mileage is fine at ₹500 it runs around 1.5 weeks around 120-140km. I appreciate their exhaust pipe remains cool after driving 13km in traffic. I feel the exhaust node is very quiet nearly no base. Without a rear mudguard bike will get dirty after every rain. The front mud is not good engine area gets really dirty. Give you power mostly when you need it. I would say there is no pillion seat because it's not uncomfortable but dangerous to sit on a pillion because after grabbing the side grab rails also if the bike takes acceleration or front braking there is a chance the pillion can fall because there is no control over their after grabbing side grab rails. For the rider comfortable but initially, your pelvis touches with fuel tank which is uncomfortable my friend also said this.

    Tips for other riders

    Tyre don't need daily air to fill like once in a month maybe sometimes twice. Synthetic Engine oil last around 4-5k. Difficult to wipe dust without getting a scratch on fuel tank. After rain ride whole bike become a mess front exhaust to Headlamp even shoes get dirt.

    2 years ago


    Ankit Mishraa

    I love my bike Xtreme 160 r. Riding this bike is awesome feeling. The performance of bike in terms of mileage is 40+. On high way it's 45 approx. The max speed that I have used while riding this bike is 105 km/h. So no need to think much about this bike. Its cool experience. The sound of xtreme bike is totally different than other hero bikes.

  • Comfortable durable sport bike

    2 years ago


    Anna

    It is very light, comfortable and easy handling machine. Specially for students, it is economical, sporty and in my opinion most durable bike in 160 cc segment.
    It has good cutting in city while turning and automatically feels smoothness drive.
    Mileage and engine power couldn't matched because around 50 mileage with 160 cc engine it's quite difficult to believe in it.

  • Excellent condition if you want to feel like first owner go for this.

    1 year ago


    Ajay Singh

    I love this bike, extreme 160r comes with a minimum average value of 45kmpl, which is something to look for, the exhaust sound is very sweet and impulsive, the main issue for me is with the pillion seat that's it, otherwise no problem overall. I have kept it as almost new because very rarely used, which makes it look like the first owner, contact me for a test ride, and come see it by yourself, but once you are satisfied. The asking price is 103000 which is very reasonable.

  • Very friendly to ride and good fuel economy

    1 year ago


    Trayambak Pandey

    When I bought this bike this was my first as an amateur rider this bike felt very friendly and after riding it for 7000+ kms I can say that this is the best 160cc bike u can buy in the market if u need good fuel economy and decent power it looks also very cool but I guess that depends upon personal preference also I can conclude that this is a very good bike for new riders and good mileage too.

  • Best bike from hero

    2 years ago


    Aditya Raj

    I am happy with the performance, look and visuals of this bike. A perfect bike at this price .With unique features like led turn light, stand indicator, powerful engine, better rider comfort, seat .Value for many product. Low service and maintenance cost. Hero service center handles this bike better. Pros are led turn light, led headlamp , aggressive look of bike .Cons are small back seat, grab rail handle position.

  • Hero xtreme 160 rs first impression & ownership experience

    2 years ago


    Adesh Shrivastava

    I waited for more than 8 months for this. I remember, it launched in Feb 2020 and then due to pandemic it went in showrooms around july-aug and then shortage of supply. I literally sway by its design which is totally resemble from its prototype and way ahead than its competitors and its loaded with features.
    I went for test ride and for 5 minutes straight i was just overwhelmed by its designs. First thing, i noticed its low seat height which is cushy and feels like sitting on couch. Sitting position is not committed though balance between sporty and commuter and you will not feel strained in elbow on long journey. Front transformer like led headlight, all led blinkers with hazard function and smoked h insignia lamp is dope & cherry on the cake with negative Lcd meter with plenty of information with clock, accelerometer, 2 trip meter, service indicator, & side stand indicator. Handle bar is straight and comes with single switch to on/off which is nifty feature to have. Regarding switch quality, it can be better. Illumination switch would be great addition. The visibility in mirror could be better nevertheless acceptable. Taking about the paint and the level of detailing, here i am not that satisfied with hero. Quality of paint can be better on the mudguard, frame though happy with the selection of color scheme like grey metal on alloy wheels and exhaust. Tail section’s & pillion footrest matt finish.
    Enough of design language, lets talk about its heart which pump out 15.2 ps power at 7500 rpm & 14 nm of torque at 6500 rpm which is air cooled 2 valve head. You must be wondering in its segment mostly bike went for 4v and this still on 2 v. Well, i was also thinking the same why they opt for 2v instead of 4v and moreover, curious about the difference of performance in real time. But all my inferiority went off when i rode it. Believe me, don’t go by specs sheet it all boiled down to the connection and the compatibility when you ride it. I noticed, its engine is so refined that i just pulled throttle and its touched 80 kmph in no time. As it was my first ride, what i felt that clutch lever was outreach for me though i have long hand and foot position is slightly backward and break is short. I also hop on pillion sheet to experience comfort. Its better for youth i must say as its pillion seat is on higher side and would not be better for pillion for long ride moreover, pillion need to be get used to integrated grab rails. Breaking duty done by niffin 276 mm at front and 220 at rear. Its has adequate breaking power along with abs in front. Checked abs couple of time just to experience and worked flawlessly. Talking about its exhaust note, it has chunky underbelly cum side exhaust which sounds so refined on low and high rpm. That about my first ride experience. I was so excited that i forgot to test autosail.
    Taking about my ownership experience, its been more than 1.5 yrs. now and i have clocked 5730 km and 5 services done. So far, no issues occur, had done quite frequent run to agra or Gwalior. I had done solo as well as ride with pillion, for long ride. Engine pulls strongly to 80-90 then take sometime to achieve top speed, there i felt lack of 6th gear and need of 4-valve so that engine can breathe more freely. Nevertheless, it shows no sign of stress & vibration till 80 kmph around 4500 or 5000 rpm. Reviving more than that had business on foot pedal, tank and mirror. Instead of 100 section tyre in front and radial 130 section in rear, it maneuver like a charm. Definitely benefited by low curb weight, shorter wheelbase, light weight alloy wheels which makes it a lord of city .
    tackling cliché corner is no challenge as steering is light and predictable. Thanks to stiff chassis and showa front 37mm telescopic shocker and back with monoshock 7 way adjustable. Back to city ride, autosail is boon in bumper to bumper traffic. I usually rode when returning to gym and work flawlessly. Basically what ecu does is, maintain the speed which is required to crawl in every gear so bike does not stall. Taking riding experience in night, it has led headlight and blinker and illumination is decent, wish it could be better.
    Thinks i wonder, it would have which makes it unbeatable in its segment.
    1.Wonder to get the same glossy- matt grey color scheme which is fulfilled by release of xtreme stealth edition.
    2. Gear positioning indicator which is now there is xtreme stealth edition.
    3. Lap timer just like apache.
    4. Limiter restricted to 9500 rpm which is 11000rpm in apache, wish it could be higher for top speed.
    5. Bluetooth connectivity just like new fz
    6. Wave key just like apache.
    7. Adjustable level
    8. Oil cooler engine
    9. Addition of 6th gear.
    10. Front suspension with more travel as it make sound hitting potholes or speed-breaker.
    Engine guard.
    11.Geniuine accessories option like saddle bag or an option to set up for touring, windshield etc.(some accessories are there on hero website)
    Live up with some compromises:
    1.Poor quality of switches and front meter cover
    2. Rusting on pillion rack & silencer
    3. Front shocker travel less which quite evident on bumpy roads.
    4. No easy access for battery, need to open tank cover.
    5. Getting used to pillion seat.
    6. Segment first features including stealth edition.
    7. All led setup & smoked back light.
    8. Side stand cut off(it there in fz)
    9. Led instrument cluster(there in fz)
    10. Radial tyres(there in new apache hp)
    11. Integrated grab rail: enhance style quotient
    12. Hazard lamp(still not there in any bike of its segment)
    13. Integrated on/off single switch
    14. Brightness control of instrument cluster.
    15. Kick

  • Very friendly to ride and good fuel economy

    Trayambak Pandey

    When I bought this bike this was my first as an amateur rider this bike felt very friendly and after riding it for 7000+ kms I can say that this is the best 160cc bike u can buy in the market if u need good fuel economy and decent power it looks also very cool but I guess that depends upon personal preference also I can conclude that this is a very good bike for new riders and good mileage too.

    Aditya Raj

    I am happy with the performance, look and visuals of this bike. A perfect bike at this price .With unique features like led turn light, stand indicator, powerful engine, better rider comfort, seat .Value for many product. Low service and maintenance cost. Hero service center handles this bike better. Pros are led turn light, led headlamp , aggressive look of bike .Cons are small back seat, grab rail handle position.

  • Hero xtreme 160 rs first impression & ownership experience

    Adesh Shrivastava

    I waited for more than 8 months for this. I remember, it launched in Feb 2020 and then due to pandemic it went in showrooms around july-aug and then shortage of supply. I literally sway by its design which is totally resemble from its prototype and way ahead than its competitors and its loaded with features.
    I went for test ride and for 5 minutes straight i was just overwhelmed by its designs. First thing, i noticed its low seat height which is cushy and feels like sitting on couch. Sitting position is not committed though balance between sporty and commuter and you will not feel strained in elbow on long journey. Front transformer like led headlight, all led blinkers with hazard function and smoked h insignia lamp is dope & cherry on the cake with negative Lcd meter with plenty of information with clock, accelerometer, 2 trip meter, service indicator, & side stand indicator. Handle bar is straight and comes with single switch to on/off which is nifty feature to have. Regarding switch quality, it can be better. Illumination switch would be great addition. The visibility in mirror could be better nevertheless acceptable. Taking about the paint and the level of detailing, here i am not that satisfied with hero. Quality of paint can be better on the mudguard, frame though happy with the selection of color scheme like grey metal on alloy wheels and exhaust. Tail section’s & pillion footrest matt finish.
    Enough of design language, lets talk about its heart which pump out 15.2 ps power at 7500 rpm & 14 nm of torque at 6500 rpm which is air cooled 2 valve head. You must be wondering in its segment mostly bike went for 4v and this still on 2 v. Well, i was also thinking the same why they opt for 2v instead of 4v and moreover, curious about the difference of performance in real time. But all my inferiority went off when i rode it. Believe me, don’t go by specs sheet it all boiled down to the connection and the compatibility when you ride it. I noticed, its engine is so refined that i just pulled throttle and its touched 80 kmph in no time. As it was my first ride, what i felt that clutch lever was outreach for me though i have long hand and foot position is slightly backward and break is short. I also hop on pillion sheet to experience comfort. Its better for youth i must say as its pillion seat is on higher side and would not be better for pillion for long ride moreover, pillion need to be get used to integrated grab rails. Breaking duty done by niffin 276 mm at front and 220 at rear. Its has adequate breaking power along with abs in front. Checked abs couple of time just to experience and worked flawlessly. Talking about its exhaust note, it has chunky underbelly cum side exhaust which sounds so refined on low and high rpm. That about my first ride experience. I was so excited that i forgot to test autosail.
    Taking about my ownership experience, its been more than 1.5 yrs. now and i have clocked 5730 km and 5 services done. So far, no issues occur, had done quite frequent run to agra or Gwalior. I had done solo as well as ride with pillion, for long ride. Engine pulls strongly to 80-90 then take sometime to achieve top speed, there i felt lack of 6th gear and need of 4-valve so that engine can breathe more freely. Nevertheless, it shows no sign of stress & vibration till 80 kmph around 4500 or 5000 rpm. Reviving more than that had business on foot pedal, tank and mirror. Instead of 100 section tyre in front and radial 130 section in rear, it maneuver like a charm. Definitely benefited by low curb weight, shorter wheelbase, light weight alloy wheels which makes it a lord of city .
    tackling cliché corner is no challenge as steering is light and predictable. Thanks to stiff chassis and showa front 37mm telescopic shocker and back with monoshock 7 way adjustable. Back to city ride, autosail is boon in bumper to bumper traffic. I usually rode when returning to gym and work flawlessly. Basically what ecu does is, maintain the speed which is required to crawl in every gear so bike does not stall. Taking riding experience in night, it has led headlight and blinker and illumination is decent, wish it could be better.
    Thinks i wonder, it would have which makes it unbeatable in its segment.
    1.Wonder to get the same glossy- matt grey color scheme which is fulfilled by release of xtreme stealth edition.
    2. Gear positioning indicator which is now there is xtreme stealth edition.
    3. Lap timer just like apache.
    4. Limiter restricted to 9500 rpm which is 11000rpm in apache, wish it could be higher for top speed.
    5. Bluetooth connectivity just like new fz
    6. Wave key just like apache.
    7. Adjustable level
    8. Oil cooler engine
    9. Addition of 6th gear.
    10. Front suspension with more travel as it make sound hitting potholes or speed-breaker.
    Engine guard.
    11.Geniuine accessories option like saddle bag or an option to set up for touring, windshield etc.(some accessories are there on hero website)
    Live up with some compromises:
    1.Poor quality of switches and front meter cover
    2. Rusting on pillion rack & silencer
    3. Front shocker travel less which quite evident on bumpy roads.
    4. No easy access for battery, need to open tank cover.
    5. Getting used to pillion seat.
    6. Segment first features including stealth edition.
    7. All led setup & smoked back light.
    8. Side stand cut off(it there in fz)
    9. Led instrument cluster(there in fz)
    10. Radial tyres(there in new apache hp)
    11. Integrated grab rail: enhance style quotient

  • A boy who regret his decision made and based on only looks.

    12 weeks ago


    Aditya Singh

    See, the buying experience is okay, but not great after having the helmet with the bill we were forced to buy their helmet but I complained about it and resolved it. I believe Hero needs to work on Engine refinement and instrument cluster because there were not many features only basic features were there. The LED headlamp is fine but sometimes it feels like you need a clearer view and more broader LED range. The indicators are good. Fuel mileage is fine at ₹500 it runs around 1.5 weeks around 120-140km. I appreciate their exhaust pipe remains cool after driving 13km in traffic. I feel the exhaust node is very quiet nearly no base. Without a rear mudguard bike will get dirty after every rain. The front mud is not good engine area gets really dirty. Give you power mostly when you need it. I would say there is no pillion seat because it's not uncomfortable but dangerous to sit on a pillion because after grabbing the side grab rails also if the bike takes acceleration or front braking there is a chance the pillion can fall because there is no control over their after grabbing side grab rails. For the rider comfortable but initially, your pelvis touches with fuel tank which is uncomfortable my friend also said this.

    Tyre don't need daily air to fill like once in a month maybe sometimes twice. Synthetic Engine oil last around 4-5k. Difficult to wipe dust without getting a scratch on fuel tank. After rain ride whole bike become a mess front exhaust to Headlamp even shoes get dirt.

    2 years ago


    Ankit Mishraa

    I love my bike Xtreme 160 r. Riding this bike is awesome feeling. The performance of bike in terms of mileage is 40+. On high way it's 45 approx. The max speed that I have used while riding this bike is 105 km/h. So no need to think much about this bike. Its cool experience. The sound of xtreme bike is totally different than other hero bikes.

  • Comfortable durable sport bike

    2 years ago


    Anna

    It is very light, comfortable and easy handling machine. Specially for students, it is economical, sporty and in my opinion most durable bike in 160 cc segment.
    It has good cutting in city while turning and automatically feels smoothness drive.
    Mileage and engine power couldn't matched because around 50 mileage with 160 cc engine it's quite difficult to believe in it.

  • Excellent condition if you want to feel like first owner go for this.

    1 year ago


    Ajay Singh

    I love this bike, extreme 160r comes with a minimum average value of 45kmpl, which is something to look for, the exhaust sound is very sweet and impulsive, the main issue for me is with the pillion seat that's it, otherwise no problem overall. I have kept it as almost new because very rarely used, which makes it look like the first owner, contact me for a test ride, and come see it by yourself, but once you are satisfied. The asking price is 103000 which is very reasonable.

I literally sway by its design which is totally resemble from its prototype and way ahead than its competitors and its loaded with features.
    I went for test ride and for 5 minutes straight i was just overwhelmed by its designs. First thing, i noticed its low seat height which is cushy and feels like sitting on couch.

Front transformer like led headlight, all led blinkers with hazard function and smoked h insignia lamp is dope & cherry on the cake with negative Lcd meter with plenty of information with clock, accelerometer, 2 trip meter, service indicator, & side stand indicator. Handle bar is straight and comes with single switch to on/off which is nifty feature to have. Regarding switch quality, it can be better. Illumination switch would be great addition. The visibility in mirror could be better nevertheless acceptable. Taking about the paint and the level of detailing, here i am not that satisfied with hero.

  • Hero xtreme 160 r first impressions & ownership experience

    2 years ago


    Adesh Shrivastava

    I waited for more than 8 months for this. I remember, it launched in Feb. 2020 and then due to pandemic it went in showrooms around july-aug and then shortage of supply. I literally sway by its design which is totally resemble from its prototype and way ahead than its competitors and its loaded with features.
    I went for test ride and for 5 minutes straight i was just overwhelmed by its designs. First thing, i noticed it low seat height which is cushy and feels like sitting on couch. Position is not committed though balance between sporty and commuter and you will not feel strained in elbow on long journey. Front transformer like led headlight and all led blinkers, hazard ,with smoked h insignia lamp is dope & cherry on the cake with negative Lcd meter with plenty of information with clock, accelerometer, 2 trip meter, service indicator, & side stand indicator. Handle bar is straight and comes with single switch to on/off which is nifty feature to have. Regarding switch quality, it can be better. Illumination switch would be great. The visibility in mirror could be better nevertheless acceptable. Taking about the paint and the level of detailing, here i am not that satisfied with hero. Quality of paint can be better on the mudguard, frame though happy with the selection of color scheme like grey metal on alloy wheels and exhaust. Tail section’s & pillion footrest matt finish.
    Enough of design language, lets talk about its heart which pump out 15.2 ps power at 7500 rpm & 14 nm of torque at 6500 rpm which is air cooled 2 valve head. You must be wondering in its segment mostly bike went for 4v and this still on 2 v. Well, i was also thinking the same why they opt for 2v instead of 4v and moreover, curious about the difference of performance in real time. But all my inferiority went off when i rode it. Believe me, don’t go by specs sheet it all boiled down to the connection and the compatibility when you ride it. I noticed, its engine is so refined that i just pulled throttle and its touched 80 kmph in no time. As it was my first ride, what i felt is clutch lever was outreach for me though i have long hand and foot position is slightly backward and break is short. I also hop on pillion sheet to experience comfort. Its better for youth i must say as its pillion seat is on higher side and would not be better for pillion for long ride moreover, pillion need to be get used to integrated grab rails.

  • A boy who regret his decision made and based on only looks.

    12 weeks ago


    Aditya Singh

    See, the buying experience is okay, but not great after having the helmet with the bill we were forced to buy their helmet but I complained about it and resolved it. I believe Hero needs to work on Engine refinement and instrument cluster because there were not many features only basic features were there. The LED headlamp is fine but sometimes it feels like you need a clearer view and more broader LED range. The indicators are good. Fuel mileage is fine at ₹500 it runs around 1.5 weeks around 120-140km. I appreciate their exhaust pipe remains cool after driving 13km in traffic. I feel the exhaust node is very quiet nearly no base. Without a rear mudguard bike will get dirty after every rain. The front mud is not good engine area gets really dirty. Give you power mostly when you need it. I would say there is no pillion seat because it's not uncomfortable but dangerous to sit on a pillion because after grabbing the side grab rails also if the bike takes acceleration or front braking there is a chance the pillion can fall because there is no control over their after grabbing side grab rails. For the rider comfortable but initially, your pelvis touches with fuel tank which is uncomfortable my friend also said this.

    Tyre don't need daily air to fill like once in a month maybe sometimes twice. Synthetic Engine oil last around 4-5k. Difficult to wipe dust without getting a scratch on fuel tank. After rain ride whole bike become a mess front exhaust to Headlamp even shoes get dirt.

    Ankit Mishraa

    I love my bike Xtreme 160 r. Riding this bike is awesome feeling. The performance of bike in terms of mileage is 40+. On high way it's 45 approx. The max speed that I have used while riding this bike is 105 km/h. So no need to think much about this bike. Its cool experience. The sound of xtreme bike is totally different than other hero bikes.

  • Comfortable durable sport bike

    2 years ago


    Anna

    It is very light, comfortable and easy handling machine. Specially for students, it is economical, sporty and in my opinion most durable bike in 160 cc segment.
    It has good cutting in city while turning and automatically feels smoothness drive.
    Mileage and engine power couldn't matched because around 50 mileage with 160 cc engine it's quite difficult to believe in it.

  • Excellent condition if you want to feel like first owner go for this.

    1 year ago


    Ajay Singh

    I love this bike, extreme 160r comes with a minimum average value of 45kmpl, which is something to look for, the exhaust sound is very sweet and impulsive, the main issue for me is with the pillion seat that's it, otherwise no problem overall. I have kept it as almost new because very rarely used, which makes it look like the first owner, contact me for a test ride, and come see it by yourself, but once you are satisfied. The asking price is 103000 which is very reasonable.

  • Very friendly to ride and good fuel economy

    1 year ago


    Trayambak Pandey

    When I bought this bike this was my first as an amateur rider this bike felt very friendly and after riding it for 7000+ kms I can say that this is the best 160cc bike u can buy in the market if u need good fuel economy and decent power it looks also very cool but I guess that depends upon personal preference also I can conclude that this is a very good bike for new riders and good mileage too.

  • Best bike from hero

    2 years ago


    Aditya Raj

    I am happy with the performance, look and visuals of this bike. A perfect bike at this price .With unique features like led turn light, stand indicator, powerful engine, better rider comfort, seat .Value for many product. Low service and maintenance cost. Hero service center handles this bike better. Pros are led turn light, led headlamp , aggressive look of bike .Cons are small back seat, grab rail handle position.

I literally sway by its design which is totally resemble from its prototype and way ahead than its competitors and its loaded with features.
    I went for test ride and for 5 minutes straight i was just overwhelmed by its designs. First thing, i noticed its low seat height which is cushy and feels like sitting on couch. Sitting position is not committed though balance between sporty and commuter and you will not feel strained in elbow on long journey. Front transformer like led headlight, all led blinkers with hazard function and smoked h insignia lamp is dope & cherry on the cake with negative Lcd meter with plenty of information with clock, accelerometer, 2 trip meter, service indicator, & side stand indicator. Handle bar is straight and comes with single switch to on/off which is nifty feature to have. Regarding switch quality, it can be better. Illumination switch would be great addition. The visibility in mirror could be better nevertheless acceptable. Taking about the paint and the level of detailing, here i am not that satisfied with hero. Quality of paint can be better on the mudguard, frame though happy with the selection of color scheme like grey metal on alloy wheels and exhaust. Tail section’s & pillion footrest matt finish.
    Enough of design language, lets talk about its heart which pump out 15.2 ps power at 7500 rpm & 14 nm of torque at 6500 rpm which is air cooled 2 valve head. You must be wondering in its segment mostly bike went for 4v and this still on 2 v.

Breaking duty done by niffin 276 mm at front and 220 at rear. Its has adequate breaking power along with abs in front. Checked abs couple of time just to experience and worked flawlessly. Talking about its exhaust note, it has chunky underbelly cum side exhaust which sounds so refined on low and high rpm. That about my first ride experience. I was so excited that i forgot to test autosail.
    Taking about my ownership experience, its been more than 1.5 yrs. now and i have clocked 5730 km and 5 services done. So far, no issues occur, had done quite frequent run to agra or Gwalior. I had done solo as well as ride with pillion, for long ride. Engine pulls strongly to 80-90 then take sometime to achieve top speed, there i felt lack of 6th gear and need of 4-valve so that engine can breathe more freely. Nevertheless, it shows no sign of stress & vibration till 80 kmph around 4500 or 5000 rpm. Reviving more than that had business on foot pedal, tank and mirror. Instead of 100 section tyre in front and radial 130 section in rear, it maneuver like a charm.

    tackling cliché corner is no challenge as steering is light and predictable. Thanks to stiff chassis and showa front 37mm telescopic shocker and back with monoshock 7 way adjustable.

Breaking duty done by niffin 276 mm at front and 220 at rear. Its has adequate breaking power along with abs in front. Checked abs couple of time just to experience and worked flawlessly. Talking about its exhaust note, it has chunky underbelly cum side exhaust which sounds so refined on low and high rpm. That about my first ride experience. I was so excited that i forgot to test auto sail.
    Taking about my ownership experience, its been more than 1.5 yrs. now and i have clocked 5730 km and 5 services done. So far, no issues occur, had done quite frequent run 100100 km to agra or Gwalior. I had done solo as well as ride with pillion, for long ride. Engine pulls strongly to 80-90 then take sometime to achieve top speed, there i felt lack of 6 th gear and need of 4valve so that engine can breathe more freely. Nevertheless, it shows no sign of stress & vibration till 80 kmph around 4500 or 5000 rpm. Reviving more than that had business on foot pedal, tank and mirror. Instead of 100 section tyre in front and radial 130 section in rear, it maneuver like a charm. Definitely benefited by low curb weight, shorter wheelbase, light weight alloy wheels which makes it a lord of city .
    tackling cliché corner is no challenge as steering is light and predictable. Thanks to stiff chassis and showa front 37mm telescopic shocker and back with monoshock 7 way adjustable. Back to city ride, auto sail is boon in bumper to bumper traffic. I usually rode when returning to gym and work flawlessly. Basically what ecu does is, maintain the speed which is required to crawl in every gear so bike does not stall. Taking riding experience in night, it has led headlight and blinker and illumination is decent, wish it could be better.
    Thinks i wonder, it would have which makes it unbeatable in its segment.
    Though my first crush is tvs apache rtr 310, i wonder to get the same glossy- matt grey color scheme which is fulfilled by release of xtreme stealth edition.
    Gear positioning indicator which is now there is xtreme stealth edition.
    Lap timer just like apache.
    Limiter restricted to 9500 rpm which is 11000 rpm in apache, wish it could be higher for top speed.
    Bluetooth connectivity just like new fz
    Wave key just like apache.
    Adjustable level
    Oil cooler engine
    Addition of 6th gear.
    Front suspension with more travel as it make sound hitting potholes or speed breaker.
    Engine guard.
    Genuine accessories option like saddle bag or an option to set up for touring, windshield etc.
    Live up with some compromises:
    Poor quality of switches and front meter cover
    Rusting on pillion rack & silencer
    Front shocker travel less which quite evident on bumpy roads.
    No easy access for battery, need to open tank cover.
    Getting used to pillion seat.
    Segment first features including stealth edition.
    All led setup & smoked back light.
    Side stand cut off(it there in fz)
    Led instrument cluster(there in fz)
    Radial tyres(there in new apache hp)
    Integrated grab rail: enhance style quotient
    Hazard lamp(still not there in any bike of its segment)
    Integrated on/off single switch

  • A boy who regret his decision made and based on only looks.

    12 weeks ago


    Aditya Singh

    See, the buying experience is okay, but not great after having the helmet with the bill we were forced to buy their helmet but I complained about it and resolved it. I believe Hero needs to work on Engine refinement and instrument cluster because there were not many features only basic features were there. The LED headlamp is fine but sometimes it feels like you need a clearer view and more broader LED range. The indicators are good. Fuel mileage is fine at ₹500 it runs around 1.5 weeks around 120-140km. I appreciate their exhaust pipe remains cool after driving 13km in traffic. I feel the exhaust node is very quiet nearly no base. Without a rear mudguard bike will get dirty after every rain. The front mud is not good engine area gets really dirty. Give you power mostly when you need it. I would say there is no pillion seat because it's not uncomfortable but dangerous to sit on a pillion because after grabbing the side grab rails also if the bike takes acceleration or front braking there is a chance the pillion can fall because there is no control over their after grabbing side grab rails. For the rider comfortable but initially, your pelvis touches with fuel tank which is uncomfortable my friend also said this.

    Tyre don't need daily air to fill like once in a month maybe sometimes twice. Synthetic Engine oil last around 4-5k. Difficult to wipe dust without getting a scratch on fuel tank. After rain ride whole bike become a mess front exhaust to Headlamp even shoes get dirt.

    Ankit Mishraa

    I love my bike Xtreme 160 r. Riding this bike is awesome feeling. The performance of bike in terms of mileage is 40+. On high way it's 45 approx. The max speed that I have used while riding this bike is 105 km/h. So no need to think much about this bike. Its cool experience. The sound of xtreme bike is totally different than other hero bikes.

  • Comfortable durable sport bike

    2 years ago


    Anna

    It is very light, comfortable and easy handling machine. Specially for students, it is economical, sporty and in my opinion most durable bike in 160 cc segment.
    It has good cutting in city while turning and automatically feels smoothness drive.
    Mileage and engine power couldn't matched because around 50 mileage with 160 cc engine it's quite difficult to believe in it.

  • Excellent condition if you want to feel like first owner go for this.

    1 year ago


    Ajay Singh

    I love this bike, extreme 160r comes with a minimum average value of 45kmpl, which is something to look for, the exhaust sound is very sweet and impulsive, the main issue for me is with the pillion seat that's it, otherwise no problem overall. I have kept it as almost new because very rarely used, which makes it look like the first owner, contact me for a test ride, and come see it by yourself, but once you are satisfied. The asking price is 103000 which is very reasonable.

  • Very friendly to ride and good fuel economy

    1 year ago


    Trayambak Pandey

    When I bought this bike this was my first as an amateur rider this bike felt very friendly and after riding it for 7000+ kms I can say that this is the best 160cc bike u can buy in the market if u need good fuel economy and decent power it looks also very cool but I guess that depends upon personal preference also I can conclude that this is a very good bike for new riders and good mileage too.

  • Best bike from hero

    2 years ago


    Aditya Raj

    I am happy with the performance, look and visuals of this bike. A perfect bike at this price .With unique features like led turn light, stand indicator, powerful engine, better rider comfort, seat .Value for many product. Low service and maintenance cost. Hero service center handles this bike better. Pros are led turn light, led headlamp , aggressive look of bike .Cons are small back seat, grab rail handle position.

  • Hero xtreme 160 rs first impression & ownership experience

    2 years ago


    Adesh Shrivastava

    I waited for more than 8 months for this. I remember, it launched in Feb 2020 and then due to pandemic it went in showrooms around july-aug and then shortage of supply. I literally sway by its design which is totally resemble from its prototype and way ahead than its competitors and its loaded with features.
    I went for test ride and for 5 minutes straight i was just overwhelmed by its designs. First thing, i noticed its low seat height which is cushy and feels like sitting on couch. Sitting position is not committed though balance between sporty and commuter and you will not feel strained in elbow on long journey. Front transformer like led headlight, all led blinkers with hazard function and smoked h insignia lamp is dope & cherry on the cake with negative Lcd meter with plenty of information with clock, accelerometer, 2 trip meter, service indicator, & side stand indicator. Handle bar is straight and comes with single switch to on/off which is nifty feature to have. Regarding switch quality, it can be better. Illumination switch would be great addition. The visibility in mirror could be better nevertheless acceptable. Taking about the paint and the level of detailing, here i am not that satisfied with hero. Quality of paint can be better on the mudguard, frame though happy with the selection of color scheme like grey metal on alloy wheels and exhaust. Tail section’s & pillion footrest matt finish.
    Enough of design language, lets talk about its heart which pump out 15.2 ps power at 7500 rpm & 14 nm of torque at 6500 rpm which is air cooled 2 valve head. You must be wondering in its segment mostly bike went for 4v and this still on 2 v. Well, i was also thinking the same why they opt for 2v instead of 4v and moreover, curious about the difference of performance in real time. But all my inferiority went off when i rode it. Believe me, don’t go by specs sheet it all boiled down to the connection and the compatibility when you ride it. I noticed, its engine is so refined that i just pulled throttle and its touched 80 kmph in no time. As it was my first ride, what i felt that clutch lever was outreach for me though i have long hand and foot position is slightly backward and break is short. I also hop on pillion sheet to experience comfort. Its better for youth i must say as its pillion seat is on higher side and would not be better for pillion for long ride moreover, pillion need to be get used to integrated grab rails. Breaking duty done by niffin 276 mm at front and 220 at rear. Its has adequate breaking power along with abs in front. Checked abs couple of time just to experience and worked flawlessly. Talking about its exhaust note, it has chunky underbelly cum side exhaust which sounds so refined on low and high rpm. That about my first ride experience. I was so excited that i forgot to test autosail.

Instead of 100 section tyre in front and radial 130 section in rear, it maneuver like a charm. Definitely benefited by low curb weight, shorter wheelbase, light weight alloy wheels which makes it a lord of city .
    tackling cliché corner is no challenge as steering is light and predictable. Thanks to stiff chassis and showa front 37mm telescopic shocker and back with monoshock 7 way adjustable.
