The Xtreme 160R 4V Combat Edition is introduced with first-in-segment cruise control feature alongside the ride-by-wire throttle and riding modes.
Hero MotoCorp has unveiled the Xtreme 160R 4V Combat Edition in the Indian market. Being the range-topping variant in the Xtreme 160R line-up, it gets multiple premium features, new paint scheme and subtle design updates. Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Combat Edition price has not been announced yet. However, we expect it to attract a premium of at least Rs 8000-10000 over the standard version, which is retailed at a sticker price of Rs 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom). The bookings and deliveries of the limited edition model are likely to start in the next few days.
The Jaipur-based two-wheeler brand recently launched the updated version of the Xtreme 125R with several advanced features in the form of ride-by-wire throttle, cruise control and riding modes (Rain, Road and Sport) among others. Now, all these bells and whistles mentioned before have been introduced in the Xtreme 160R 4V Combat Edition. The inclusion of these features make it similar to the Xtreme 125R.
Identical to the Combat Edition models of the Xoom 110 and Karizma XMR, Hero Xtreme 160R Combat Edition flaunts a dual-tone grey and yellow colour scheme. The headlight has been borrowed from the Xtreme 250R. The ongoing reflector-based LED units have been replaced with the Xtreme 250R’s LED projector lamps with H-shaped DRLs.
The Xtreme 160R 4V Combat Edition boasts of a new multi-colour TFT instrument panel, which has been sourced from the Xtreme 250R. It displays fuel gauge, gear position indicator, tachometer, speed, clock, odometer and dual trip meters. The limited-edition model also comes equipped with a dual-channel ABS as standard while braking duties are handled by disc units at both the ends.
The suspension setup is similar to the stock motorcycle as KYB-sourced inverted front forks and monoshock rear absorbers are at the helm of affairs. The bike rides on 17-inch alloy wheels. At the heart, it has the same 163.2cc single-cylinder air/oil-cooled petrol engine which generates max power of 16.6 bhp and peak torque of 14.6 Nm while linked to a 5-speed gearbox.
Some of the notable features retained by Hero in the Combat Edition from the standard model are all-LED lighting (headlamp, winkers and tail light), Drag Race Timer, and Panic Brake Alert. Tipping the weighing scale (kerb) at 147.5 kg, the bike has a ground clearance of 165 mm while it can be filled with up to 12 litres of fuel.
