Hero Xtreme 160R 4V
The new Hero Xtreme 160R 4V Combat Edition comes with a range of updates that instantly set it apart from the standard model. Up front, it features a revised LED headlamp design inspired by the bigger Xtreme 250R, giving it a more aggressive and premium look. The instrument console has also been refreshed with a negative-LCD display, aligning its styling with Hero's higher-capacity offerings. But the real highlight lies in the added technology; this version now gets a ride-by-wire throttle system, cruise control, and three selectable ride modes, making it the first motorcycle in its class to offer such advanced features.
Powertrain And Hardware
Mechanically, it is powered by the same 163.2cc, air/cooled four-valve engine, which belts out 16.6 bhp and 14.6 Nm. Meanwhile, it comes paired with a 5-speed gearbox. Braking duties are handled by the single discs at both ends, complemented by dual-channel ABS. Apart from this, the suspension setup remains the same, with USD forks at the front and a monoshock unit at the rear. This bike rides on 17-inch alloy wheels on both ends.

Verdict
With the Xtreme 160R 4V Combat Edition, Hero MotoCorp has redefined what riders can expect from a 160cc motorcycle. The addition of cruise control and ride modes, features unheard of in this segment, gives it a serious edge over rivals. While the mechanics remain largely familiar, the blend of smart tech and sporty styling makes it one of the most feature-packed and future-ready commuters in its class. Hero isn't just playing catch-up anymore; it's setting the pace.
