Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Cruise Control Variant Launched in India at Rs 1.34 Lakh

Hero MotoCorp has launched the Xtreme 160R 4V with cruise control at Rs 1.34 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The update follows its earlier website listing released last week, which had revealed the features but not the price. The new variant costs Rs 4,485 more than the standard Xtreme 160R 4V available at Rs 1.30 lakh.

The new variant adds a ride-by-wire throttle system, enabling cruise control - a feature first used by the company on the Xtreme 125R. This system also supports three riding modes: Rain, Road and Sport. The switchgear has been revised, and the bike now uses a colour LCD display shared with the Xtreme 250R. It also features an updated LED headlight, similar in design to the one on the Xtreme 250R.

Four colour options are available:

-Dual-tone forest green and neon green

-Black with red highlights

-Matte grey “Combat Edition” (exclusive to this variant)

There are no mechanical changes compared to the standard model. The bike continues with a 163.2cc, single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine producing 16 bhp at 8,500rpm and 14.6 Nm of torque at 6,500rpm paired with a 5-speed gearbox, a multiplate wet clutch and a tubular underbone diamond frame.

The Xtreme 160R 4V cruise control variant continues with the same suspension hardware as the standard model. It uses 37mm KYB upside-down forks at the front and a 7-step adjustable monoshock at the rear, giving it the same basic ride setup as the other versions in the lineup. The motorcycle is built on a tubular underbone diamond frame and is paired with a box-type swingarm made from a 50x30mm rectangular tube.

With the added electronic features, the new variant sits at the top of the Xtreme 160R 4V range. It also gains an edge in features over other 160cc motorcycles such as the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160, while retaining the same performance figures as the standard model.
