Hero MotoCorp’s milestone is nothing short of historic. Achieving 100 million motorcycle sales highlights their dominant position in the global two-wheeler market.

Notably, the 100 millionth motorcycle to roll out of Hero’s Haridwar plant was an Xtreme 160R, making this edition even more symbolic.
What Sets the Hero Xtreme 160R 100 Million Edition Apart?
While the mechanicals remain the same, the dual-tone livery and pinstriped alloys add a premium feel. However, some enthusiasts feel the ₹1,800 premium could have included additional features.
