Hero MotoCorp has filed a design patent in India for what appears to be the Xoom 125 Adventure – the adventure-styled derivative of the Xoom 125 scooter that the company first showcased as a concept at EICMA 2024.
- First shown at EICMA 2024 alongside the Xoom 160 Adventure concept
- Concept featured knobby tyres and crash protection
- Expected to be mechanically identical to the standard Xoom 125
Hero Xoom 125 Adventure details
Its overall silhouette closely follows that of the EICMA 2024 concept
The patent drawings closely mirror the Xoom 125 Adventure concept unveiled at EICMA 2024. The most notable visual changes over the standard Xoom 125 include a raised front fender, crash protection around the sides of the front apron, a small flyscreen and knuckle guards. The concept also featured knobby tyres wrapped around the same 14-inch alloy wheels as the standard Xoom 125. Together, these additions give the scooter a more purposeful, adventure-inspired appearance.
The seat profile also appears slightly more aggressive, with a more pronounced distinction between the rider and pillion sections. However, we’ll have to wait until the production model is revealed to confirm whether this design makes it to the final version.
Mechanically, the Xoom 125 Adventure is expected to carry over the standard Xoom 125’s 124cc air-cooled engine producing 9.9hp and 10.4Nm, along with its fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and navigation.
While filing a design patent does not necessarily confirm an imminent launch, the relatively minor nature of the changes over the already established standard Xoom 125 means a production version cannot be ruled out.
