Apart from the new connectivity features, the Xtreme 160R Stealth 2.0 also gets a new matte black shade with red accents on the telescopic fork, frame, and pillion grip. It also gets knuckle guards, something that wasn’t present in the previous Xtreme 160R versions. The new nelly shroud flows seamlessly with the bike design.

Mechanically, the Hero Xtreme 160R Stealth 2.0 Edition retains the same 163cc air-cooled BS-VI complaint engine found in the previous version. This engine produces a maximum power of 15.2hp and 14Nm peak torque. The motorbike can go from 0-60kmph in just 4.7 seconds.
