Hero Thriller 160R Price in BD : The Hero Thriller 160R is probably the most anticipated bike of Bangladesh of the year 2021. The Hero Xtreme 150 was one of the most sought-after bikes of its time. This bike received most of its popularity due to its stylish design and powerful engine.
But after Hero took away the Xtreme 150 they did not bring any naked sport to the market. However, after years of R&D and market research, Hero brought the Hero Xtreme 160R to India. But Hero decided to give the Bangladeshi version of the bike a different name, which is why the Indian Hero Xtreme 160R is the Bangladeshi Hero Thiller 160R.
Hero MotoCorp is one of the biggest motorcycle manufacturers in India and the South Asian region. Hero has been ruling the commuter segment of motorcycles in Bangladesh for quite some time. The Hero Hunk (previously Hero Honda Hunk) is a very special bike to most people of Bangladesh due to its muscular design. Hero does business in Bangladesh through Niloy Hero Bangladesh Limited. Since the split with Honda Motors, Hero has been trying to hit the commuter segment and not focus much on the sports segment, but the Hero Thriller 160R is their redemption.

Physical Attributes
The Hero Thriller 160R is a large bike.

The bike also has a ground clearance of 168mm, which is very suitable for Bangladesh. It also has a tank of 12liters, which ensures that the rider doesn’t run out of fuel very often in long rides.
The Hero Thriller 160R has length, width, height, and weight of 2000mm, 765mm, 1080mm, and 148kg respectively. The bike is a bit on the heavier side, which will ensure good stability but will also be very tiring to be in traffic with. The bike has a wheelbase of 1340mm, which is perfect for cornering.
Engine and Transmission
The Hero Thriller 160R comes with a single-cylinder, 4-stroke, 2-valve, and 162cc engine. The engine is fuel injected and air-cooled. The engine pumps out around 14.8BHP of power at 8000rpm and 14Nm of torque at 6500rpm. Due to the fuel injection, the bike is expected to be quite efficient. It is expected to have an economy of around 42kmpl combined.

The front brake has an ABS, which is a great addition for a bike of this price. The rear brake of the bike comes in two different variants, but it can be expected that the disc will perform better than the drum.
The Hero Thriller 160R has upside-down telescopic forks at the front and a 7-step adjustable mono-shock at the rear. The front forks will perform well which will allow the riders to corner and get past most speedbumps of Bangladesh comfortably.
