Hero Xtreme 160R 2V gets new features from the 4V

The Xtreme 160R 2V now gets the drag race and 0-60kph timers from the 4V variant. Along with that, there are also some visible changes that have been carried forward from the 4V, such as the new tail-light and the single-piece seat. Hero claims the seat has a flatter profile that claims to improve overall comfort, with the pillion seat height level also significantly lowered, compared to before.

The Xtreme 160R 2V is only available in one variant that’s finished in black, and gets only single-channel ABS owing to the rear drum brake. Powering the Xtreme 160R 2V is the same air-cooled, 163.2cc, single-cylinder motor making 15hp at 8,500rpm and 14Nm of torque at 6,500rpm.

The underpinnings are par for the course – diamond frame nestling the motor suspended by a telescopic fork and monoshock. Tyre sizes are the same as the Xtreme 160R 4V with a 100/80-17 front and 130/70 R17 tyre out back. Seat height is an accessible 795mm and the Xtreme weighs 145kg with its 12-litre tank brimmed.
