A Visual Refresh and Enhanced Safety
The 2024 Xtreme 160R 4V sports a new bronze and black color scheme, accompanied by updated graphics. A significant upgrade is the introduction of dual-channel ABS, replacing the single-channel system offered on the current model.

New Features on the Block
The motorcycle’s digital instrument cluster now includes a drag race timer, allowing riders to measure their acceleration from 0 to 60 kmph and 0 to 402 meters. Additionally, a panic brake alert system has been incorporated, which activates the brake lights and turn indicators rapidly during emergency braking to warn other road users.

Powertrain and Chassis Remain Unchanged
The heart of the Xtreme 160R 4V remains the same 163.2cc, single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine delivering 16.6bhp and 14.6Nm of torque. The cycle parts, including the 17-inch wheels, USD forks, mono-shock rear suspension, and disc brakes at both ends, are carried over from the previous model.
Pricing and Competition
While exact pricing details are awaited, it’s safe to expect a slight increase over the current model, which starts at Rs 1.27 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The 2024 Xtreme 160R 4V will continue rivaling Bajaj Pulsar NS160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, and Yamaha FZS Fi V4.
