Here are the Hero Hunk 160R 4V's 2 color options

Hero Motocorp released the Hunk 160R 4V earlier this month.

It is touted as a dragster bike with lofty claims as Terrafirma Motors Corporation — the distributor of Hero motorcycles in the country — claims that the Hunk 160R 4V is the fastest model in the 160 cubic centimeters (cc) segment compared to all oil- and air-cooled engine motorcycles based on its initial testing.

Further, the company declares that the Indian-made middleweight naked bike is the lightest compared to all oil-cooled engine motorcycles in the 160 cc four-valve segment.

But not all motorcycle buyers care about numbers. Sometimes, what speaks to them more is how a two-wheeler looks. So today, we are going to check out the two available colors of the Hero Hunk 160R 4V, to help those eyeing the model pick the right hue.

Matte Sports Black

Hero Motocorp swathed the Hunk 160R 4V with an all-black finish, which seems to go well with its daring design.

The Hero Hunk 160R 4V is equipped with fairings that sport a decent amount of angles and contours. While it may look modest alongside more aggressive-looking competitors like the Yamaha MT-15, it does appear to be daring on its own.

At the fore is a simple cowling that houses the headlamp as well as its inverted LCD console. Flanking it are boxy turn signals that seem to protrude off the motorcycle’s fascia.

Covering the fuel tank are fairings with a decent amount of contour and angles. They wear chrome “HUNK” nameplates as well as sport red decals that give the motorcycle striking accents.

The rear end of the motorcycle gets a tapered taillamp and a fender that sticks out from the motorcycle’s body with a reflector as well as two squarish turn lamps. A mudguard can be seen covering the wheel at the back end of the two-wheeler.

Overall, the looks of the Hero Hunk 160R 4V match the vibe of the dark paint that covers the motorcycle all over.

We also like that the black paint goes well with the unit’s steel foot pegs, disc brakes (front and back), and front fork.

Blazing Sports Red

In this crimson color, the Hero Hunk 160R 4V appears to be banking on its profession of being the fastest in the segment, after all, fast vehicles usually come in red.

Speaking of which, the motorcycle is powered by a 163.2 cc engine mated to a five-speed constant mesh transmission system. The said setup pushes the Hunk 160R 4V to put out some 16.6 horsepower with 14.6 Newton-meters of torque.

Suspension-wise, the model uses a KYB-branded upside-down front fork and a seven-step adjustable monoshock at the rear. They are connected to a set of 17-inch wheels wrapped with a 100/80 tubeless tire at the front and a 130/70 tubeless tire at the back.

To bring the motorcycle to a halt, the Hero Hunk 160R 4V uses petal-type disc brakes at the front with an anti-lock brake system as well as a similar petal-style disc brake at the rear.

In general, the sporty style of the Hero Hunk 160R 4V is captured in this Blazing Sports Red color option.
