Hero has launched new 2026 Xtreme 160R at Rs. 1.27 lakh and Xtreme 250R at Rs. 1.98 lakh, ex-showroom. Both have had significant changes and a new set of features. This has been a much-awaited update for both the bikes. Without any ado, let’s check what Hero has dropped.
Xtreme 160R & Xtreme 250R Design & Chassis
The Xtreme 160R & Xtreme 250R both look aggressive and contain the same naked sportbike design. The Xtreme 250R has a trellis-type frame, whereas the Xtreme 160R has a tubular underbone diamond frame. Both the bikes come with USD forks suspension on the front and monoshock suspension at the rear end. Both have 17-inch tubeless tires with alloy wheels; however, the tire profile is different with both. These two come equipped with disc brakes on both the ends. Both offer a dual-channel ABS, but the Xtreme 250R has an upper hand with a switchable ABS on offer. In terms of lighting, both have an all-LED setup.
