Hero MotoCorp Xoom Expert Review

The Hero Xoom 110 has a sporty and youthful design that helps it stand out in the crowded 110cc scooter segment. Its sharp body panels, angular lines and modern styling give it an attractive appearance. The scooter also gets full-LED lighting, adding to its premium look. Build quality is generally good, with well-finished body panels, although some parts, such as the switchgear and mirrors, could have felt more premium. Overall, the Xoom makes a strong first impression with its fresh styling and modern design.

The Xoom 110 offers a comfortable riding position that is suitable for daily commuting. The seat provides adequate support for city rides, while the riding posture feels natural and easy to adapt to. The scooter is light and easy to manoeuvre in traffic, making it beginner-friendly. However, it misses out on an external fuel filler, which would have made refuelling more convenient.

Power comes from a 110.9cc single-cylinder engine that feels peppy and responsive for everyday riding. The power delivery is smooth and linear, making the scooter easy to ride in city traffic, although it is not particularly quick. The engine feels slightly rough at lower speeds but becomes much smoother once speeds cross around 50-60kph. The Xoom also features the i3S idle stop-start system, which is designed to improve fuel efficiency. While the system helps save fuel, it is not as seamless as some competing systems and takes a little longer to restart the engine.

Xoom's 12-inch wheels at both ends provide good stability and make the scooter feel confident while cornering. It remains predictable through bends and handles direction changes with ease. The suspension absorbs bumps and road joints well, resulting in a comfortable ride. Braking performance is also reassuring, with the front disc brake on the top-spec variant providing good stopping power and feedback.

The Xoom 110 comes with a good list of features, including full-LED lighting, a digital instrument cluster and Hero's i3S idle stop-start technology. The top-spec variant also gets a front disc brake for improved braking performance. The overall feature list is competitive and adds to the scooter's value.

The Hero Xoom 110 offers combination of sporty styling, useful features and confident handling at a competitive price. Although the engine could be more refined at lower speeds and an external fuel filler is missing, these are relatively minor drawbacks. Overall, it is a well-rounded scooter that delivers a fun riding experience and offers good value for buyers looking for a stylish and practical 110cc scooter.
