Alongside it’s new maxi-scooter, Hero will also be showcasing the Xoom 125 as well as an electric dirt bike under the Vida brand.
- New Xoom variant to use 125cc engine
- Likely to have 14-inch wheels, gets fresh styling
The teaser video shared by the manufacturer about the Xoom 125 shows a familiar-looking scooter to the Xoom but there are a few differences. For starters, the LED headlight appears to be slimmer and wider and the front indicators are now LEDs, as opposed to the halogen units on the current Xoom. We have already reported that Hero is working on a Xoom variant with 14-inch wheels previously and a test mule confirming this was also spied a while back. The Xoom 110’s mill is carried over unchanged from other 110cc Hero scooters, so its quite likely that the Xoom 125 will employ a similar approach as well.
That’s not all as Hero will also be showcasing what seems to be an electric dirt bike under the Vida brand. Not much is known about this project but what can be seen is that it has a typical dirt bike silhouette with a tall, flat seat, wire-spoke wheels and a tall ‘beaky’ front fender. It remains to be seen whether this dirt bike will be sold as a road legal model or will be restricted to closed course usage only. We will be bringing you EICMA coverage straight from the event itself so make sure you’re tuned in to our website as well as our social media handles.
