Design & Features

The Hero Xoom 125 sports a sharp and aggressive design, making it stand out among the sporty 125cc scooters. It is designed to appeal to younger riders with its modern, youthful styling:

LED Lighting: Full-LED headlamps, LED DRLs, and LED tail lamps for better visibility and style.
Sequential Indicators: A first in the segment for a petrol-powered scooter, where the turn indicators light up in sequence, adding a premium touch.
LCD Instrument Cluster: It includes smartphone connectivity with features like turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS alerts, and an external fuel filler cap.
Storage: The under-seat storage is suitable for a small full-face helmet, but it’s on the smaller side for larger items. There are also two open compartments in the apron for extra storage.

Performance & Engine

The Hero Xoom 125 is powered by a 124.6cc engine, which is claimed to be one of the smoothest engines in the 125cc segment. Its performance is a mix of refinement and quick acceleration, making it a fun ride for city commutes:

Power: 9.92PS and Torque: 10.4Nm, delivering solid acceleration and performance.
Acceleration: The Xoom 125 accelerates quickly, making it one of the fastest scooters in its category. It can comfortably reach 70-80 km/h on highways and can top out at 85 km/h.
Throttle Response: The throttle is smooth and quick to respond, ensuring a seamless ride without jerky movements.
Top Speed: While the top speed is not extremely high, the 85 km/h max is adequate for city usage, but higher speeds would have been appreciated for highway use.

Handling & Ride Quality

Wheels: The 14-inch wheels provide great stability and help with a planted feel on the road, offering better grip compared to other scooters with smaller wheels.
Suspension: The suspension is tuned for sporty riding, and while it offers stability at higher speeds, the ride can feel a bit harsh on uneven roads or bumps, especially when riding solo. The suspension softens when there’s added weight from a pillion rider.
Brakes: The Xoom 125 comes with combined braking technology (CBS), which helps ensure quick stops while preventing rear tyre lock-ups. It’s a useful safety feature, though more experienced riders might prefer individual control over braking.

Comfort & Practicality

Ergonomics: The scooter has sporty ergonomics with an upright riding posture and wide handlebars, making it comfortable for both short and long rides. The pillion also enjoys a wide, comfortable seat with well-positioned foot pegs.
Storage: The under-seat storage is moderate, capable of holding a smaller helmet, but it's not spacious enough for larger items like a laptop backpack. There are two open compartments in the apron for additional storage, but having at least one covered compartment would have been more practical for securing valuables.

Key Features

Smartphone Connectivity: Bluetooth-enabled connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS alerts, and more.
Cornering Lights: A feature that enhances the scooter’s visibility while turning, improving safety at night.
LED Lighting: Full-LED headlamp, DRLs, tail lamps, and sequential indicators for a modern, stylish look.
External Fuel Filler Cap: Conveniently placed to make refueling easier without having to open the seat.
