Hero MotoCorp have been the top two-wheeler company in India in terms of production and volume for the last 19 years. At their world-class R&D facility in Jaipur today, they have announced that they will be investing Rs 10,000 crore for future mobility and international business over the next five to seven years. More importantly, they plan to be carbon neutral by 2030. Here are the products that have been launched and displayed at the event.

Hero Xtreme 160R

The Hero Xtreme 160R was earlier displayed at the EICMA as the ‘Xtreme 1.R Concept’ and today we get to see the production-ready version of the motorcycle. It gets a 160-cc BS VI-compliant engine with electronic fuel-injection which is mated to a five-speed gearbox. The engine delivers 15 hp at 8,500 rpm and the bike is rated at a kerb weight of 138.5 kg. Hero claim that the Xtreme 160R can accelerate from 0 to 60 km/h in 4.7 seconds. The suspension set-up on this smaller Xtreme is a 37-mm telescopic fork at the front and a seven-step adjustable mono-shock suspension at the rear. Braking duties are handled by a 276-mm disc at the front and a 220-mm rear petal disc in the top variant. (Also Read: Hero Xtreme 160R Review)
