For instance, the company has introduced a re-shaped seat and an external pillion grab rail for the Xtreme 160R. The previous iteration of the motorcycle used to have an under-seat spacing instead of a physical grab rail which wasn’t very practical. This 160cc premium motorcycle features an inverted digital instrument cluster which now displays a gear position indicator as well.
