Hero Xoom 125, First Ride review | Auto Live
The Hero Xoom 125 brings bold styling, solid performance, and good value to the sporty 125cc scooter segment. Its design takes cues from a falcon: sharp LED DRLs, a beaky nose with projector LED headlamp, and segment-first sequential LED turn indicators upfront. Large 14-inch wheels, wide tyres (110 front / 120 rear), and a longer wheelbase lend it excellent high-speed stability. Powered by a 124.6 cc air-cooled engine (≈ 9.8 bhp, 10.4 Nm), it accelerates to 60 km/h in ~7.6 seconds, with crisp response in city traffic. Ride quality is firm but controlled; suspension handles broken roads with composure, though some feedback over smaller bumps is felt. The feature list includes a digital cluster with Bluetooth & navigation, i3S idle-stop, and dual-cubby storage. At its ex-showroom price of ~₹ 86,900 for the base VX and ~₹ 92,900 for the ZX, the Xoom 125 undercuts rivals while offering a desirable mix of style, tech, and performance.
