We are going to introduce a series of class-defining products in the premium motorcycle space and the launch of Xtreme 160R 4V is the first in a series of launches lined up through the year. While the X-range of motorcycles have given us a massive edge, there is a strong focus on growing our volumes in the higher engine capacity segment with differentiated offerings.

The fastest 160cc bike in the Air-Oil cooled category is positioned as a true Dragster and we intend to further strengthen the sub-culture of Drag Racing in India with the launch of this product and upcoming products under Xtreme franchise.”He added, “We would be strengthening our Drag Race property XDrags and have also signed up Hemanth Muduppa, 10 times National Drag Racing Champion for this product. Especially in the premium motorcycle segment, Xpulse and Xtreme have created a deeper connect with the customers. As we grow our premium portfolio, we would be creating Power Brands in the segment with more powerful, performance-oriented, feature-rich and stylish products; we are going to rapidly build up our position and market share in the category.”
