It will compete against the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Aprilia SXR 160.

XOOM 125R HERO: DETAILS

The Xoom 125R is Hero MotoCorp’s attempt to get into the sporty 125cc scooter segment. A brand-new 125cc engine, 14-inch alloy wheels with MRF Zapper tires, and a fully digital speedometer with Bluetooth and turn-by-turn navigation are all included in the scooter’s setup. It also adds sequential LED blinkers to that region. Aggressive bodywork of the Xoom 125R is reminiscent of the Xoom 110. March 2024 is the planned launch date.

Hero showcased its Vida V1 Pro e-scooter with its ICE goods at the esteemed trade show. The Vida V1 Pro is now offered in a “Coupe” version, with the rear seat eliminated. Mechanically, it is still the same as the model that is currently on sale.

Hero also intends to launch the Vida brand in Europe and the UK, first concentrating on three countries, with further plans to come. Hero is said to have closed distribution agreements in the UK, Spain, and France so far. Furthermore, Hero plans to start doing business in the middle of 2024 and then launch its premium range of gasoline bikes and scooters in these nations.

Hero also showed the prototype Lynx e-dirtbike under the Vida brand. Weighing just 82 kg, it boasts a peak power output of 20.4 horsepower. A 3 kWh battery pack can power the bike for around an hour. Hero not only has the Lynx on exhibit, but also the Acro electric bicycle for children.
