Hero Xoom 110 : Hero MotoCorp is said to be working on a brand new 125cc motorcycle that will rival the TVS Raider 125 in the domestic market. The motorcycle was spotted undergoing testing recently. In addition to this, the company is also planning to launch a new 125cc sporty scooter. A design patent for the scooter has been leaked, providing us with more information.
The design patent reveals a sleek headlamp unit located beneath a sharp-looking apron. The turn signal indicators are placed on the handlebar cowl. The overall bodywork looks aggressive with sharp cuts and creases, and the split grab rails can be seen along with a long single-piece seat and a flat floorboard. The fuel filler cap is positioned at the rear.
The design is reminiscent of the Xoom 110 scooter, indicating that the upcoming model could be called the Xoom 125 or have a new name altogether. It is expected to compete with other sporty 125cc scooters such as the TVS NTORQ 125 and the Suzuki Access 125. A prototype of the potential 125cc scooter was spotted during testing a few months ago, bearing several similarities in style.
The pricing of the TVS NTORQ 125 ranges from INR 87,000 to INR 1.08 lakh (ex-showroom), and considering Hero’s competitive pricing strategy for its two-wheelers, it is expected that the Zoom 125 will fall within the same price range. It could feature a similar 125cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine found in the Destiny, but performance figures may vary.
The company could also utilize a completely new motor developed from the Zoom 110 engine architecture. It is likely to be equipped with telescopic front forks and a single rear shock absorber in the suspension setup. The top-spec variant may offer front and rear disc brakes with a single-channel ABS option.
The scooter could feature Y-shaped alloy wheels, possibly 14 inches in size, and wide tires. It may also come with cornering lights and a fully digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity.
Overall, the new sporty scooter from Hero MotoCorp is expected to create a strong position in the 125cc segment with its stylish design and competitive pricing.
