Hero debuted the Zoom 125R at the company’s World Day 2024 and it will be launched by the end of 2024; Rs. 85,000 expected starting price
Sporty scooters never go out of fashion and the TVS Ntorq has been ruling this space for a long time. Now, it seems that Hero is onto something big and it will shake the sporty 125cc scooter segment. Known for its affordable price tag, Hero Motocorp will launch the Xoom 125R with a well-thought-out strategy. Part of this strategy will be the extremely affordable price tag and we expect a good Rs, 10,000 affordable price tag as compared to the Ntorq 125. In addition to this, Xoom 125R will have to take on the likes of the Honda Dio 125 and Suzuki Avenis.
The sporty Xoom 125R will draw power from the 124.6cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine putting out 9.4 bhp and 10.16 Nm of peak torque. As per the company, the final output could vary slightly and it will use a CVT gearbox. The numbers are somewhat similar to the base spec TVS Ntorq 125.
While the detailed specifications are still under wraps, the Hero Xoom 125R will be based on a steel frame, using conventional telescopic forks at the front and a rear mono-shock. Riding on 14-inch wheels on both ends, the scooter will get a disc brake at the front and a drum unit at the rear. The kerb weight of the Xoom 125R will stand at around 120kg.
