BREAKING: 2022 Hero Xtreme 160R Launched With Minor Updates

Gets a redesigned seat, new grab rails and gear position indicator, but no price hike

Hero MotoCorp has launched the 2022 iteration of the Xtreme 160R with minor updates, though these upgrades aren’t accompanied by a price hike. This bike is available in three variants and continues to retail from Rs 1,17,148 (ex-showroom Delhi).

The 2022 Xtreme 160R now features a gear position indicator on the instrument console on all variants. This feature was earlier available only on the Stealth edition. Additionally, it gets a revised design for the seat along with a new pillion grabrail for increased comfort.

Apart from the above updates, everything else remains unchanged. The 2022 Xtreme 160R continues to be powered by a 163cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, good for 15.2PS and 14Nm, paired to a five-speed gearbox. Suspension hardware includes a 37mm telescopic fork and a preload-adjustable monoshock, and it comes equipped with 17-inch alloys.

The Xtreme 160R is available in three variants – single disc, dual disc, and Stealth edition. All variants feature the same design. However, while the single disc version uses a 130mm drum brake at the rear, the dual disc and Stealth editions are equipped with a 276mm front and 220mm rear petal disc. The safety net across the range comprises only single-channel ABS.

Prices for each of the variants are as listed below.

The Xtreme 160R rivals the likes of Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Yamaha FZ-S, Bajaj Pulsar NS160 and Suzuki Gixxer in the Indian market.
