Hero has finally launched the Xoom 125, with prices starting at Rs 86,900 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Xoom 125 is available in two variants – VX and ZX – just like its practical sibling, the Destini 125, which was launched a few days ago.
- Xoom 125 uses the same engine as Destini 125
- Runs on 14-inch wheels, like the Aprilia SR 125
- Deliveries begin in March
Powering the Xoom 125 is the same engine that's seen on the Destini 125, and the 124cc, single-cylinder motor is rated for 9hp and 10.4Nm here as well. Where the Xoom 125 differs from the Destini is that it runs on 14-inch wheels at both ends, similiar to the Aprilia SR 125. And since the Xoom 125 sits in Hero's sporty scooter family, it has sharp, angular styling like its other siblings.
The Xoom 125 gets a digital display with Bluetooth connectivity for call/notification alerts and turn-by-turn navigation. The Xoom 125 becomes the first scooter to go on sale in India to get sequential turn indicators, similiar to some high-end luxury cars. Bookings begin in February and deliveries in March.
