Hero Xtreme 160R: Top 5 Bikes You Can Buy At Similar Price

The Hero Xtreme 160R is Hero's new premium commuter motorcycle, and will have its task cut out to take on established rivals in the 160 cc motorcycle segment. The Xtreme 160R is available in two variants, with the base variant priced at Rs. 99,950 (Ex-showroom, Delhi), and the dual disc brake variant priced at Rs. 1,03,500 (Ex-showroom, Delhi). Now, the 160 cc motorcycle segment has several contenders, from brands across the spectrum. While Hero has been late to join the party in the 160 cc segment, it still is the most affordable motorcycle, although costing almost the same as its closest rival in terms of price.

The 2020 Yamaha FZS-FI BS6 is the closest in pricing to the Xtreme 160R but it's the least powerful as well

Yamaha FZ FI/ FZ-S FI

The Yamaha FZ is the bike that started it all. It is the motorcycle which brought style, dynamism and premium-ness to an otherwise rather plain commuter-ish motorcycle segment. In terms of pricing, it's the closest to the Hero Xtreme 160R as being one of the most affordable in the segment. The standard Yamaha FZ-FI is priced at Rs. 99,700 (Ex-showroom, Delhi), while the Yamaha FZ-S FI is priced at Rs. 1,03,200 (Ex-showroom, Delhi).

TVS Apache RTR 160 4V

TVS Apache RTR 160 4V

The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is possibly the closest to a benchmark in the segment, along with the Suzuki Gixxer, when it comes to design, features, performance and dynamics. The BS6 iterations also get some minor cosmetic updates like LED headlights, and new graphics. The Apache RTR 160 4V is available in two variants, with the front disc, rear drum brake variant priced at Rs. 1,04,000 (Ex-showroom, Delhi), while the dual disc brake version is priced at Rs. 1,07,050 (Ex-showroom, Delhi).

Suzuki Gixxer

The Suzuki Gixxer is one of the leaders in the segment in terms of styling, build quality, performance and riding dynamics. Coupled with the fact that the engine also has good fuel economy, in our experience the Gixxer certainly makes for a very good choice in the 160 cc motorcycle segment. However, the Suzuki Gixxer is also the most expensive in this segment. The standard Suzuki Gixxer is available in just one variant, with disc brakes on both wheels, and single-channel ABS, and is priced at Rs. 1,13,941 (Ex-showroom, Delhi). But Suzuki also offers a full-faired variant for those buyers looking for sportier, big-bike looks, although it's even more expensive. The full-faired Suzuki Gixxer SF is priced at Rs. 1,23,940 (Ex-showroom, Delhi), while the Gixxer SF MotoGP variant with racing livery is priced at Rs. 1,24,970 (Ex-showroom, Delhi).

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
