There is one major change and that is the engine. Hero Hunk which was spotted testing, was equipped with a 160cc.

Speaking of bells and whistles, there are not a lot on Hunk 160R. This can be a boon allowing Hero to price it competitively.

Single-channel ABS is present along with alloy wheels, dual disc brakes, LED taillights, halogen headlights, mono-shock rear and telescopic front suspension are some of notable features.

Hero might throw in XTEC connected features as well.

The engine on Xtreme 160R makes 15 bhp and 14 Nm of torque. On 2023 Hero Hunk, this engine might be detuned to fit the segment.
