- The Xtreme 160R was a fun motorcycle to ride! For the 2023 Hero Motocorp has decided to amp up the game by adding in a bunch of things. Increase in performance, a 4V head, oil-cooling, sharper looks, and connectivity. Have these changes helped the Xtreme in becoming a better motorcycle? Varun Painter takes a spin around CIT in Jaipur and also answers a very important question about the bike’s popularity.

If this design was done by any Japanese manufacturers people would praise this bike more it's sad to see Indian manufacturers don't getting appreciation hero did great job with this one
I agree man. Really well done.
facts
HERO IS DOING GOOD JOB ESPECIALLY IN 200CC ...XPULSE...STILL WE ARE WAITING FOR ENTRY IN 400 CC OR PLUS...WE CAN APPRECIATE INDIAN COMPANY BECAUSE TATA AND MAHINDRA IS ALSO DOING GRAT JOB. I AM USING XPLUSE FROM LAST 2.5 YEARS AND SATISFIED TOO...ONLY I WANT TO UPGRADE IN 400 CC AND THERE IS GRAT KTM 390 ADV IN POSITION...THEN WE CAN EXPECT HERO XPULSE 400

Don't know why People are disrespecting this bike although this beauty is providing everything we want.❤
The inferiority complex of 'Indian Made Tag' is the reason still.

Beautiful bike. This is gonna do brilliant fir the hero's overseas market. I place my hand on my heart and if this would've had come in my college days I would have bought this bike in an instance. GOOD JOB HERO MOTORS
❤❤
:D
We all should appreciate Hero. Since its split from Honda, the company didn't make their bikes upto the competition but since from 2020 things have changed and the Hero is improving a lot. Hero after a decade have come along way, instead of criticizing we should appreciate them.
This is the make or break year for Hero
We agree. They are going to come up with a lot more products this year.
Hero should open separate service service centers with trained technicians for premium products.
100%
They will by 2024
A Brand trying to change his identity..❤
High time no?
Good thing!
This one looks like a worthy successor to the classic CBZ ❤
I was blown away after riding the Xtreme 160R, and personally liked the Xtreme more than the Apache 160r. Hero has done a splendid job on this bike.
Any updates on the upcoming Xpulse ?
I always prefer my Pulsar NS 160. I did a long distance ride last month and the saddle comfort was amazing.
Now hero is giving great bikes which are affordable and can complete with others in market i am proud owner of Xpulse which is the most affordable ADV in the entire world
🎉🎉🎉
Noiceeee
A single channel ABS definitely definitely a make or a break deal , rest of the package as it looks is just brilliant
Yeah man. Cost is a factor here.
@@vroombk even just optional Dual channel ABS would do just for the people (ME) who know what happened when the rear wheel locks 😂
Totally agree with you
True that
It’s a naked mini Fireblade 😍
Greetings from 🇲🇽
Custom Extreme 160 by hero was so freaking cool... Way better than mt 15, just search for it... It Had upside down forks, tail tidy, different body work, different handle bars and different brakes with red black color, it was sick bruh...!
Stealth edition?
@@satishpawar7252 not sure,it came on my feed, search hero extreme custom by tvs... If u have this bike, mod it the way TVS did, it will be a head turner for sure...
But then, it was a Custom.
@@powerdriftofficial 1.R concept i guess in the eicma🤔
Finally a HERO from HERO....well done.
What a comment 🤝
Underrated comment!
Well the new xtrem 160 r is one the best 160cc bikes. in terms of overall design it was a good looking motorcycle and now with this 4v version the design is lot more cooler and premium compared to the 2valve version. It feels more muscular and chunky Especially with these golden upsidedown forks and new colours 😘😘. Then engine performance number is also impressive as well.
Although i think hero could have given dual channel ABS atleast as an option. For the same price their is the bajaj pulsar NS 160 with dual Chanel ABS to and that makes it a tight competition for the xtrem.
Exactly. Optional DCABS atleast.
@@VarunPainter yep. By the way will u guys please review the new 2023 updated bajaj dominar 250.
Real good.
@@VarunPainter Yes that's what I thought first but normally adding dual channel ABS option will hike the price around ₹3000-5000 more and it will eventually make the model's price to 1.4 Lakhs. Even now some people are complaining about its price tag (they kept this in their mind and made 3 varients). Another problem is now it already has 3 varients and even if they give DCABS to the top model totally there will be 4 varients. And then , they will have do more in the manafacturing process, distribution and delivery of these motorcycles. Also they don't know which varient will sell more unless they start the sales. So may be after sometime they may launch the DCABS varient considering the sales of the current varient.
I saw some good amount of ground clearance in this segment
165 on the sheet
Not a lot when you look at the spec sheet.
Absolutely love it. I am a Xtreme fan boy so a new version of Xtreme, my reaction just always 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Good no?
@@VarunPainter Whatever it is. I always love Xtreme
A sensible comment. I'm not the biggest fan of this motorcycle but at least youre not spamming shit about whether or not it compares to a yamaha or apache and hating for no reason, or worse, stupid reasons.
Wow
Wow, first time I am hearing someone say this 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
It never needed USD forks in the first place, power bump maybe but USD forks is overkill . They could have given it dual channel ABS variant because the bike is already one of the best in terms of ride and handling so USD forks was never needed.
This is what happens when you take feedback from chappri and teenagers. You miss out on what is really needed. Now this bike is needlessly expensive even if its feature loaded. They did a Honda Hornet 2.0 with this bike 😅.
I personally feel the USD came in because of the NS. They are trying to keep up with the segment and offer a little more.
Its not that expensive. Maybe a little over some of the competitors but there's so much on offer now.
Varun Sir's look got an 4V upgrade too,
Loved your new look sir ❤
hahahaha!
Nice one
Whatever hero has done & provided here in this bike is very perfect...its complete package as a bike.
I agree 100%
But Dual-Channel ABS
Dear power drift
Please make a review of xtreem 200s 4v. Eagerly waiting for the review. Lots of love from Bangladesh.
Pulsar & Apache ❤🔥
Oh yeaahh!
Good motorcycles
5:30 both are old uncle's
Good looking bike . Hero can launch a 500cc twin cylinder with 50 hp it will be a atomic bomb in the market
I believe there’s news of a 400cc+ naked motorcycle
But cost!
Try Signal to Signal with 2016 Honda Hornet 160R
That and a whole lot more
For sure
Why it's not popular??
The answer is - the poor ohh sorry sorry the worst service 😡 from the showroom.. my brother face engine problem from the beginning buy the showroom staff fail to find the problem . Such a shitty service which we doesn't expect from Hero..
One of the things yeah.
@@VarunPainter please let hero know this...
Lots of things need improvement.

Hero should do what TVS does and put the 200 from the xpulse into this frame.
I agree
Hmmmm. Interesting.
Please include headlight reviews in your videos as well 🙏
This is NOT a review.
Thanks He Is Harsh
When we get the motorcycle for a full review.
I would prefer a full street handlebar over clip on's anyday. More rear set footpegs would make the bike more difficult to use in dense city IMHO for long durations. Maybe they could have kept the Standard variant more upright commuterish and kept the pro Variant with for rear set foot pegs, clip on's and a more track riding stance. Tbh, I can't really imagine seeing this bike on a faired avatar.
Its never becoming a reality mate. Its just a thought
@@vroombk Understandable. Maybe they should do something Bajaj did with the Single & Double disc variants of the Pulsar P150. What's unbeatable is how brilliant is the whole package in terms of pricing.
Comfort over everything for sure.

With a full ferrying, It will definitely look beauty and the beast at the same time
Oh yeah
Totally
It always looked light & flickable. With dual channel ABS it would have gone one step ahead of the competition.
Yeah man. that is exactly my problem right now.
It always felt flickable. Good handler!
Same bike +(clip-on handlebar) + (dual channel abs) ==🔥
Wow!
The handle bar provides more agility. Cutting through the traffic is easier with the handle bar than clip-ons
Fire!
Clip on handlebars only adds some weights to the front. Also even if they implant a clip on it will be straight and tall which will make no difference with the riding position. This is what we see in NS and ZMR v1. Clip on handlebars are mainly for sporty riding posture (lowered and close handle reach). But Dual Channel ABS should be a thing to be considered in the future.
Please correct.
All three variants has bluetooth connectivity (calls, notifications etc). The connected variant provides app based features and it has SOS button. This is a variant which nobody will buy. They should have given these features to the pro variant. Eagerly waiting for POWER DRIFT'S FIRST RIDE REVIEW.
What features?

Nothing major, just a bit of muffling.
Looks like there's a bit of wind noise. But we hear you Coach!
With a good looking aerodynamic body and a 6th gear this bike could compete with the undisputed R15
Doesn't have to.
It makes sense comparing motorcycles according to their price range and not cubic capacity.

Hero bikes have an engine stalling problem after bs6 update. I am the owner of passion pro bs6 & after visiting showroom for over 2.5 years it is not solved. I also talked to other owners of bs6 hero bikes & they claim that their bikes like glamour xtec , super splendor owners claim it's true. So stear clear of hero 😢
Oh no
My RTR 200 randomly shuts down during idealing. It's what strict emissions do to your bike. I also experienced it with the unicorn 160 bs6 also🥲
Holy shit 😳.... I have also seen a news in the google feed that the n250 shuts down randomly. I am not sure about that news ...if it's true then I would say all the Indian bike manufacturers are struggling with fi tech 🤔🤔
That's not a good thing to hear.
wish they made the pro variant with 200 cc engine
Yeah man
Sounds like a plan
That blooper👌😂

Kare toh kare kya :D
Clip on, full fairing. Wow. That will be a great package. Add dual channel ABS too. Serious product
Its just a thought :D

@@vroombklol
The back seat design is not good
True, spoils entire looks
Can anyone answer me?
Is the Xtreme 160 4v better than Hornet 2.0 ? Coz they both are similarly priced & if given a chance what would you all choose?
Let me know kindly 👇🏽👇🏽
Test ride bud!
Hornet 2.0 any day
I'd probably choose hornet.
1. Bigger engine, slightly more power and torque.
2. Thicker rear Tyre
3. Engine is smooth af
4. 142 kg, lighter than 160r pro variant.
5. Last but not the least, the fit and finish on Honda is 🤌
@@vroombk Will do as soon as the extreme 160 4v hits the showrooms.
You rode em both eh? What do you felt the better one is bud?
@@ajasmohd3473 Noted 👍🏽👍🏽
Fastest.. 🤔But no Duel channel ABS... Bajaj N 160 is still a better product in this segment 👍
With 2 valve engine
@@devaustin_320Why I prefer "unreliable" 4Valve engine if one reliable 2 Valve engine provide enough power and refinement ..? 🤔
@@WirelessElectricity well hero engines are more reliable than bajaj's
@@animeshhazarika669No.. Absolutely not.. Hero never capable to make any high revving engines like Bajaj pulsar NS Series.👎
It’s close I would say.
No dual channel ABS! Hero's blunder
it would be nice but "blunder" is exaggerating. quit hatin dawg
@@system7962 abs is extremely important
@@ramprasath3346 yah for noobs…
@@ssdas1278 i still ride a bike without abs, if you ride long enough you will realize that it doesn't matter how great your skills are you can still get into an accident due to others on the road, so it is the opposite it is only noobs who think they don't need abs.
@@ramprasath3346 i agree abs is important, especially on the front wheel, for new riders. but i think if one is able to crash by locking their rear wheel on a 160cc, its sheer lack of skill & patience.
maybe faster but not the safest in its class. Safety matters hero.
The absence of DC-ABS does not sit well with me too
Yeah. The absence of a dual channel ABS is sad.
Rear seat needs to be little bit higher by one feet to compete with chhapri ktm's.😂😂. Well hero tried well and it's looking very bad at rear
There's the optional flat seat too.
Ohohoho beard! Beautiful 👌🏻
Nah
🍿
Hahahahaa
6-speed transmission?
5
Not happening with this one
@@powerdriftofficial That would've been great
How can it be fastest to 60 if you are saying there is no low end torque? That would be contradictory to what Hero wants to achieve and market the bike.
When you launch a motorcycle, the revs are already high. Dump the clutch and you don't have to start from zero. BTW, the fastest claim is theirs, not mine.
@@VarunPainter Ah.. in standard test conditions 😉..I know it's their claim mate 😀. Just that your observation went against their claim, so was pondering. Saturday ko aur kya kaam hota hai 😂.
@@sahilroy893 Hahahhahha! All love my man. :D
@@VarunPainter 🤗.... Btw, saw test mules of Bajaj/Triumph bikes yesterday on highway stretch near Pashan. Looked puny with small fuel tank. Probably about the same size of Husqvarna. Slightly disappointed as I was looking forward towards their launch. I hope the finished bikes would feel different.
This thread :D
This is not the "Fastest". Quickest? Maybe 🤷 but definitely not the fastest. When Xtreme 160 4V Pro compared to SmartConnect varient of RTR 160 4V the p/w ratio is not any better than Apache.
PS: The bike is amazing none the less.
Forget the spec sheet is what the brand is saying
Apache feels a bit heavy
Apache le kar so ja…😂😂😂
@@ssdas1278 sure, already own 1 btw. Andbhakt much?
Wow! This thread
So Hero creates a variant and charges a premium of 5k for bluetooth but doesn't think it's important to have dual channel ABS as an option, is just beyond me.
Yeah man. They say adding DCABS would have increased cost by another 5k and put the motorcycle out of competition.
@@VarunPainter Bluetooth getting priority is amazing but probably that's what our crazy market demands. I don't see any use of bluetooth in this category.

Well done by hero. At least hero is trying to improve the product in160 not like Japanese with Xblade, Unicorn and FZ S . Must be appreciated and praised knowing that it's coming from Indian brand . And only Pulsar 160s offer dual channel ABS in this price point and segment. So can't complain on this. Good job hero.

ThankQ
This is still a commuter segment just get a fz V3 the best bike in 1.3lack and if you want to go up just get the hornet that's an max u can get in 1.6 lack further thier is gixxer 250
Best is subjective here
There are a lot of other options too.
For me this bike is not good looking especially when I see N160 n Apache 160. It might provide lotta specs n power.
Looks are subjective anyway no bud
Sure. We hear you
Apache looks sooo outdated
Dual channel abs should be mandatory. A great miss.
😂for 160 cc, won't u say this for apache
Wow..
🌟
Wow indeed.
Reasons why it won't sell.
1. Rear end looks extremely high unnecessarily. Hinders with accessibility too.
2. The rear part of the split seat looks aftermarket 😂.
3. The bike looks tiny from the front.
4. Overall design is not that mature n impressive. The panels are here and there, some small, some large. Not in sync with the bike theme as Pulsar or Apache.
5. Golden folks 😂😆. Bajaj has done a good job with the color selection of USD in NS series.
6. Pricing. When you have better options like Apache or Pulsar N160, who wants this toy.
7. Engine. Apache n Pulsar are far more refined than this.
8. Gear box. Hero's gearbox eventually turns notchy.
9. Headlight. This looks good but illumination is extremely poor. Apache n N160 headlights are far better.
RND team be like 🤐
Well well well.
@@powerdriftofficial Let's let the numbers speak because ultimately the numbers matter right.
Since it's just launched, I really wish it garners decent numbers atleast for the next three months. Let's see the sales figures six months down the line.
Also, let's send a request to Bajaj and TVS to not to come up with any of the updates in their bikes for the next few months so that the kid gets time to grow up 😂😆.
Once upon a time, Hero was having legendary brands like Hunk, Karizma, and Xtreme. Now, all of these brands have vanished. This shows Hero cannot do anything in this segment. How can one let go their ruling brands get vanished.
Hero doesn't understand the market itself. Their only ideology is cheapest products in the segment. Probably, people don't even know that such a bike existed. Tell me just one successful product developed by Hero after Hero Honda separation. Thanks to Honda for joint development of Splendor and HF Deluxe which is helping Hero survive in the market.
Eventually, 100cc motorcycle segment is gonna witness a downfall which also means the downfall of Hero as well.
There's so much to talk about Hero, but nothing gonna help them because they don't wanna put in their efforts wholeheartedly. Chala to thik else wapas try karenge. Keep trying in the wrong direction until you get success 😂😆.
Since you are commenting about engine refinement I am sure you have ridden all 3 of them back to back and hence a conclusion
@varunpainter be like main kya kru fir job chod du
Hero never chose to revamp the above said brands because they knew revamping them will surely give out a perception that hero is using Hondas platform to create their brand which no brand will want who is trying to go global you need business classes here
Hero created Xpulse which is actually a successful product...the sales number will eventually come
Also people and this includes you are so obsessed with Pulsar Apache that you cannot simply Appreciate a brands effort...I would have appreciated you had taken a test ride before doing your expert commentary
Change tha name xtream first!

What will you name it?
@@powerdriftofficialXtreme is old & not so good as per reputation, so as per marketing suggest if it launches with a new name then it may get the success as hero assumed!
