A new suspension set-up

The Xtreme 160R comes with an all-new 37mm KYB USD fork suspension set-up which gives it a beefed-up stance to the front tyre of the bike. The bike also has a 7-step Pre-Load adjustable rear suspension to offer better stability and control at higher speeds. However, the USD is only offered in the range-topping variant, Connected 2.0.
