– Hero Xtreme 125R priced from Rs 95,000
– Powered by a 125cc, single-cylinder engine
– Rivals the TVS Raider 125
The newly launched Hero Xtreme 125R in India is ready to compete with the TVS Raider 125. Coming in two variants, the bike offers a selection of three color options.
First is the Firestorm Red, featuring black as its secondary color and touches of silver on the tank and mid-section, giving it a robust appearance. Similarly, the Cobalt Blue variant replaces red with blue, reminiscent of the Suzuki Gixxer’s color scheme. Then there’s the Stallion Black option, offering a sleek, stealthy look. In terms of design, the Hero Xtreme 125R adopts an aggressive styling approach, distinguishing itself from others in its segment. It boasts a low-set full-LED headlamp unit, muscular fuel tank, and split-seat setup for added sportiness.
Hero has equipped the Xtreme 125R with a 125cc, single-cylinder engine that is air-cooled and churns out 11.5bhp and close to 11Nm of torque. It is mated to a five-speed gearbox. It rides on 37mm telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock for the rear end that make up for suspension duties. Meanwhile, braking is done by a 276mm disc at the front whereas the rear has the option of a drum or disc.
The features list on the Xtreme 125R include full-LED lighting, an LCD screen with gear position and Bluetooth connectivity for call and message alerts, and a hazard light switch. Hero is also offering the option of a single-channel ABS and IBS, which is essentially a combined braking system. The IBS version costs Rs 95,000 while the ABS costs Rs 99,500, ex-showroom.
