Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Summary

Hero Xtreme 160R 4V is a street bike available in 3 variants and 4 colours. Xtreme 160R 4V price starts at Rs. 1,28,495 in India with top variant price starting from Rs. 1,37,638. The Hero Xtreme 160R 4V is powered by 163.2cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 16.6 bhp and a torque of 14.6 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, Hero Xtreme 160R 4V comes up with anti-locking braking system. This Xtreme 160R 4V bike weighs 145 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 12 liters.

Hero MotoCorp has launched the 2023 Xtreme 160R 4V in India, and this TVS Apache RTR 160 4V-rivalling roadster-segment motorcycle gets several updates over the two-valve version. For starters, the new Hero Xtreme 160R 4V is available in three variants – standard, Connected, and Pro.

The mechanical specifications on all variants include a 163cc, single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine with a four-valve setup. Linked to a five-speed gearbox, this motor makes 16.6bhp and 14.4Nm, which is 1.6bhp and 0.4Nm more than the two-valve model. Notably, the new engine on the Xtreme 160R 4V uses a bigger bore and a shorter stroke than the two-valve motor.

Meanwhile, the styling retains the overall silhouette from the previous version. However, the four-valve version gets a few tweaks in the form of a revised position for the headlamp that sits slightly lower than the two-valve variant, an updated fuel tank design, and a new belly pan. Then, the Pro variant further benefits from a two-piece seat as standard.

The feature list on this motorcycle includes full-LED lighting and a digital instrument cluster that houses a speedometer, tachometer, odometer, trip meter, fuel level readout, and a clock. Then, there is a Bluetooth module on the Connected variant that offers access to SMS and call notifications. This connectivity suite 2.0 uses an e-sim and works with a smartphone application to send out accident-related alerts, the location of the vehicle, turn-by-turn navigation, locate a dealer, book a service, or call roadside assistance. Notably, the base and the Pro trims miss this feature. However, the latter gets basic Bluetooth connectivity that displays call alerts and also receives split seats and upside-down front forks.

The hardware on the base and Connected variants retain the conventional telescopic front forks and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock to handle the shock absorption duties. The Pro variant, on the other hand, gets the new upside-down front forks that enhance the muscular looks of this motorcycle. Meanwhile, the anchoring hardware is identical across the range, and the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V uses disc brakes on both wheels and a single-channel ABS.

The list of rivals includes the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Bajaj Pulsar NS160, and the Yamaha FZ-S among others.

Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Expert Opinion

Hero MotoCorp is serious about its premium motorcycles. Now, it might not look it because apart from the Xpulse 200 - which has grabbed headlines in social media and managed to pull at enthusiasts’ heartstrings - it really hasn’t had any success in the category.

Introduction

Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Left Front Three Quarter

Hero MotoCorp is serious about its premium motorcycles. Now, it might not look it because apart from the Xpulse 200 - which has grabbed headlines in social media and managed to pull at enthusiasts’ heartstrings - it really hasn’t had any success in the category. 

But now with a new CEO, a plethora of new premium products in the pipeline, and an increased focus on upgrading its retail network to meet premium customers needs, the signs are clearly there. And the company’s first salvo to announce its renewed focus towards the premium end of the market comes in the form of the Xtreme 160R 4V. 

The Visuals

Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Head Light

The basic design of the new Hero Xtreme 160R 4V mirrors that of the current two-valve model. But, there are some subtle changes. The headlamp, for one, sits slightly lower on the new bike. The tank design has changed too, but not too dramatically. It has a new belly pan. And the Pro model we have here, also comes with a two-piece seat as standard. 

The 4V also gets upside down front forks which are finished in gold. We agree the USDs are more to enhance the motorcycle’s mechanical capabilities, but these still manage to do a stellar job of giving the 4V an even sportier aura than the regular model. 

The Package

Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Front View

Not much has changed on the Xtreme 160R 4V in terms of features. You still only get single-channel ABS along with single petal discs at both ends. There are tubeless tyres with the rear having a radial construction. The 4V sports all-LED lighting including the headlight, taillight and turn indicators. And it continues to have fully digital instrumentation. 

The 4V does come in three trim levels, however. The base - as the name suggests - is quite basic and doesn’t get split seats or USD front forks. Then there’s the Connected trim, which again misses out on the split-seat and USD forks, but it comes standard with Hero’s connectivity suite 2.0. 

Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Instrument Cluster

Using an e-sim, this Bluetooth-enabled feature ties in with an app on the smart phone to send out accident-related alerts if the bike has a tumble. It also alerts the owner about the bike’s whereabouts or intended theft attempts. It gets turn-by-turn navigation. And can help you locate a dealer, book a service, or call for road side assistance. One cannot, however, opt for the connectivity suite on the base or the Pro trim as an add-on feature. 

Finally there’s the top-spec Pro trim that we have here. This is the version that gets split seats, USD front forks, and basic Bluetooth connectivity that allows for call alerts. 

The Ride

Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Left Side View

The engine on the Xtreme 160R 4V is all-new! Compared to the current 160R 2V, the new engine uses a bigger bore and a shorter stroke, which gives it an over square layout. The engine capacity of the two bikes, however, is near identical. Plus, the new engine uses a four-valve head compared to a two-valve head on the current bike. 

The new engine recipe clearly points to a power unit that is freer revving, better breathing, and more top-end friendly. Not surprisingly, the power output of the new engine is nearly 2bhp more, while the difference in torque isn’t as significant.

But Hero is chasing the commuter at the end of the day. And for a commuter, tractability is key. To achieve this, the ratios of the five-speed gearbox have been completely revised and these are now more closely stacked than on the 2V to bring back some of the low and mid-range grunt.

And it seems to have worked. 

Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Right Front Three Quarter

The Xtreme 160R 4V feels peppy from the word go. It gets to 80kmph in a hurry and is then happy to sit at 80-90kmph without ever feeling slow or strained. Plus getting to 100kmph on the speedo isn’t a big struggle either. It certainly feels more alive than the two-valve Xtreme. As far as top speed goes,  it did run out of breath at an indicated 115kmph, but then I am heavier than your typical young and enthusiastic commuter.

As for ride and handling, the motorcycle still uses a single downtube chassis, and continues to run 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres. The brakes haven’t been touched either, and as mentioned before, it still only gets single-channel ABS. 

Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Left Front Three Quarter

The big change of course - at least for this Pro model - is the suspension. The front is a KYB upside-down fork while the rear is a seven-step preload adjustable monoshock. Now, the Xtreme was already a nice handling, pliant riding motorcycle, but with this update, it has gotten nicer still. 

It is pliant and absorbent over potholes and bumps, and even when loaded, under braking, it doesn’t easily bottom-out adding to both comfort and stability. The rear though plush and comfy, seems more excitable than the front. It’s good for themost part, but come a series of bumps, and the rear does feel more unsettled that we would have liked.

Handling wise, the Xtreme continues to be a stable, responsive, predictable, and enjoyable motorcycle. It tips into corners without effort. And then flows through the rest of the bend, seamlessly. It changes directions quickly, and it never felt nervous or slippery. It feels well-balanced,  confident, feelsome. 

The brakes though could have been better. These work fine when the bike is ridden sedately offering good feel and bite. But ride with enthusiasm and the brake fade is all too obvious almost immediately. And that just ruins the rider’s confidence. 

Should You Buy It?

Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Left Rear Three Quarter

We said this when we rode the original Xtreme 160R, and we will say it again for the 4V - buy it, it’s a no-brainer. The 4V takes up from where the 2V left off. It is quicker, more refined, and as much fun to ride if not more. It also has better road presence, it is comfier, and now it has a bigger bike feel to it. More than that - it’s now ready to take on the TVS Apache 160RTR 4V head on.

      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.

      Regular chain cleaning and polishing. Change engine oil at equal intervals. Keep the tyre pressure as recommended. If changing the brake oil, try dot 5.1.
