The 250R is sold exclusively through Hero Premia outlets.
Xtreme Engines Deliver Varied Power and Torque
Beneath the revised bodywork, the Xtreme 160R 4V packs a 163cc, four-valve, oil-cooled engine that pumps out 17.1 PS at 8,750 rpm and 14.6 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Hero claims a 0 to 60 km/h sprint in 4.4 seconds. Regional reporting noted a slight variation in output figures, listing the power at 16.9 horsepower alongside the identical 14.6 Nm torque rating. Service intervals for the 160cc model are extended, requiring no oil change or tappet setting until the 6,000 km mark.
Stepping up in displacement, the Xtreme 250R utilizes a 250cc liquid-cooled, four-valve DOHC engine delivering 30 PS at 9,250 rpm and 25.3 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm, achieving a 0 to 60 km/h acceleration time of 3.2 seconds. The motorcycle features a 6-speed transmission paired with an assist and slipper clutch, and a single fuel tank refill yields a claimed range of up to 414 kilometers based on its 36 km/l efficiency.
Ride-By-Wire Throttles and Safety Systems Enhance Control
Both motorcycles integrate modern electronic rider aids, including ride-by-wire throttles and cruise control systems. The Xtreme 160R 4V introduces segment-first cruise control and a Panic Brake Alert system designed to warn surrounding traffic during hard braking.
The Xtreme 250R steps up its hardware package with a sensorless bi-directional quickshifter allowing clutchless upshifts and downshifts without closing the throttle. It also incorporates a tyre pressure monitoring system with real-time temperature and pressure alerts, switchable ABS, and Frequency Selective Damping on the rear suspension to adapt to varying road surfaces.
Connectivity and Instrument Displays
Rider interfaces feature full-color TFT instrument consoles across the models, supplying real-time mileage, gear position, shift advisory, and distance-to-empty readouts. Bluetooth pairing enables turn-by-turn navigation, call and message alerts, and phone battery status tracking. Additional cabin and handlebar amenities include Type-C fast charging, illuminated soft-touch switchgear, hazard lights, and adjustable brake and clutch levers.
