Insights from Riding: agility meets stability

If you roll on the road this bike just wired up as soon as you hop on the mountains. Its high-spirited engine in tandem with the bike light weight (weighs at just 138.5 kg), funs the riding experience. The bike feels nicely nimble and responsive in city traffic, letting you flow between gaps with confidence.

Its riding position is a well-balanced sporty and comfortable. Wide footpegs, and good leverage points from rear set footpegs on the slightly lower rear mounted swingarm, strong enough in posture to encourage long lap use.

  • Suspension: 37mm telescopic forks up front with a 7-way adjustable monoshock at the rear is well-tuned for Indian road conditions. With great ease bumps and potholes are absorbed but it doesn’t get too soft. The Xtreme 160R demonstrates linear cornering to a fault when pushed hard through the corners, and is an excellent bike in this regard.
  • Brakes: The front uses a 276mm petal disc and the rear 220xpetal disc. The brakes feel like they have decent stopping power although are a little spongy on the lever.

Single front-wheel single-channel ABS contributes an extra safety layer, particularly in emergency braking situations.
