Hero Xtreme 160R 4V launched at Rs 1.27 lakh in India
Hero MotoCorp has launched the 2026 Xtreme 160R 4V in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.27 lakh for the Standard variant. The Pro and Carbon trims are priced at Rs 1.37 lakh and Rs 1.41 lakh, respectively.
The street naked motorcycle gets a refreshed design with sharper tank shrouds, full LED headlamps and an ambient light sensor. All variants use the same 163.2cc oil-cooled petrol engine producing 16.9 bhp and 14.6 Nm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
Deliveries of the Pro and Carbon variants will begin in November 2026, while the Standard grade will be available from January 2027. The Xtreme 160R 4V will compete with the Bajaj Pulsar N160 4V and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Hero has positioned the Xtreme 160R 4V across three distinct price points, with the Carbon variant offering a TFT console and Bluetooth connectivity that were absent in the previous generation. The entry-level Standard trim lacks dual-channel ABS and ride modes, which may push buyers toward the Pro variant. Deliveries staggered from November 2026 to January 2027 mean Hero will have inventory for the premium trims first. The 163.2cc engine carries over unchanged, so the competition will hinge on feature differentiation against the Bajaj Pulsar N160 4V and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V.
