The test mule that has been spied here also features an oil cooler, which suggests major changes to the engine. A test mule of what seems a Hero Xtreme has actually been spied, and the most significant visual change is the presence of a USD fork, changing the current models telescopic unit. Another change that can be determined is the existence of an oil cooler which could imply major changes to the engine of the next-gen Xtreme. Engine to get a significant overhaul, possibly increased output figuresLooks similar to the present Xtreme 160RHero Xtreme spied testing: 200cc 4-valve engine on the cards?The presence of an oil-cooler presents two unique possibilities, one might be that Hero has updated the current designs 163cc engine to increase peak output figures to present a fresh obstacle to the segment leaders from TVS and Bajaj. The current 2-valve 163cc engine isnt understood to be the peppiest mill in the class and if Hero can step up its performance, it might likewise discover a home in brand-new models down the line. Another possibility is that this test mule is utilizing the exact same 199cc 4-valve engine as the Xpulse duo, and the placement of the oil-cooler has been configured particularly for this bike. Hero is moving away from the 2-valve engine thats presently only discovered in the Xtreme 200S (and earlier, the Hero Xpulse 200 likewise had it), which is why we think the more recent, more capable 4-valve engine will make its way to this bike. The existence of the USD fork likewise means that the main frame will go through some modifications and the bikes weight may increase a little as well. The remainder of the bike looks rather similar to the existing Xtreme 160R whichs no bad thing. Presently, the Xtreme 160R is priced between Rs 1,18,616– Rs 1,29,738 (ex-showroom, Delhi) and when this upgraded or newer and bigger Xtreme does break cover, we anticipate rates to go up, considering all the modifications that will be made to the bike. Would you pick the Xtreme 160R over the equivalent Bajaj Pulsar or TVS Apache?
