Hero MotoCorp is set to launch the 2026 Xtreme 160R 4V in the Indian market on October 16. This updated street naked motorcycle is expected to feature a host of cosmetic enhancements and modern functionalities, while retaining its existing petrol engine. The new model will be positioned between the Xtreme 125R and Xtreme 250R, directly competing with rivals like the Bajaj Pulsar N160 4V and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. The pricing for the 2026 Hero Xtreme 160R 4V is anticipated to be slightly higher than the current model, which ranges from ₹1.35-1.38 lakh (ex-showroom).
Among the expected updates, the 2026 Xtreme 160R 4V is likely to receive a redesigned silhouette, a tweaked rider triangle, and a rear tire hugger. Reports suggest modifications to the fuel tank, restyled headlamp and taillamp clusters, and refreshed seating for improved ergonomics. A significant upgrade in terms of features will be an advanced instrument cluster with a multi-colored TFT display and Google Maps mirroring, replacing the current LCD screen with turn-by-turn navigation. Additionally, Hero might incorporate premium features such as a lap timer, document storage, and auto-brightness. Existing features like cruise control, ride modes, dual-channel ABS, and an electronic throttle body (ETB) are expected to be retained, with a possibility of a quickshifter.
