Here’s When The Updated Hero Xtreme 160R Is Arriving

Hero MotoCorp has sent out a ‘Block Your Date’ invitation for June 14, 2023, which is likely to unveil the new Xtreme 160R. This upcoming model, which has already been spotted undergoing tests in India multiple times, will feature various design and hardware enhancements. While specific details are currently limited, one notable update will be the inclusion of a USD fork, as seen on a test prototype.

The 163cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that currently makes 15.2PS and 14Nm is unlikely to be tinkered with. However, it’ll be upgraded to be compatible with E20 fuel and meet the BS6 phase 2 emission standards.
