Hero Xtreme 160R Stealth Edition 2.0 is expected to get graphical updates to further enhance the visual quotient of the naked motorcycle
Hero MotoCorp will introduce the Stealth Edition 2.0 of the Xtreme 160R naked motorcycle in the Indian market soon. The Xtreme 160R is currently priced between Rs. 1.18 lakh and Rs. 1.23 lakh (ex-showroom) and the existing Stealth Edition was introduced in October 2021. It currently sits at the top of the range and the updated 2.0 will likely come with visual enhancements.
Just like in 2021, the Hero Xtreme 160R Stealth Edition 2.0 will target audiences who are looking to buy a new motorcycle during the festive season as positive buying sentiments generally exist during this auspicious period. The matte black colour scheme of the existing Stealth Edition is expected to be carried over with some updates.
It will continue to feature LED turn signals, a side stand engine cut-off function, an integrated USB charging facility and LCD brightness adjustment for the instrument cluster. Other highlights will include the gear position indicator on the console as the existing model. As for the design, it could gain new 3D emblem branding and a new ‘Stealth’ badge but no official information has been divulged yet.
Hero says the 160 cc motorcycle is available across authorised dealerships present in the country. With no performance changes, the Hero Xtreme 160R Stealth Edition 2.0 will derive power from the same 160 cc air-cooled single-cylinder Fi BSVI-compliant engine. It is good enough to generate a maximum power output of 15.2 PS at 8,500 rpm.
The powertrain will be linked with a five-speed transmission. One of the major advantages of the Xtreme 160R naked motorcycle is its low kerb weight of just 140 kilograms while the lightweight rigid diamond frame enables it to have sporty handling characteristics. The Hero Xtreme 160R competes primarily against Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V.
The 2022 Hero Xtreme 160R Stealth Edition 2.0 will be equipped with 37 mm telescopic front forks and a seven-step adjustable monoshock rear suspension. The braking duties will be handled by 276 mm front and 220 rear disc with a single-channel ABS system.
