If there’s one scooter that has caught my attention lately, it’s the Hero Xoom 125. Sharp lines, bold attitude and that falcon inspired stance made it look more like a concept from a motor show than something ready to hit Indian roads. But it’s here, it’s real and it’s going straight for the TVS Ntorq.

Fresh Looks That Turn Heads

First thing that hits you is the aggressive design. Hero has completely ditched the safe styling and gone all in with deep creases, a sculpted front and sleek sequential LED indicators that remind you of premium cars. Add to that colors like Matte Neon Lime or Metallic Turbo Blue and you have a scooter that doesn’t blend in.

Performance for City Warriors

Under the skin the 124.6cc air-cooled engine produces 9.92 PS and 10.4 Nm, so it’s no slouch in traffic. I floored it during a short ride and the Xoom pulled away smoothly with minimal lag. It does 0–60 km/h in around 7.6 seconds and feels smooth all the way up to 95 km/h.

Loaded Where It Matters

The Xoom 125 doesn’t hold back on features. The fully digital display has Bluetooth connectivity (in the ZX variant) with navigation and call alerts. The external fuel fill is a blessing during busy fuel pump visits. And those 14-inch wheels with wide tyres? You can feel the difference in grip and ride comfort the moment you hit a rough patch.

At a price of ₹86,900 (ex-showroom) the Hero Xoom 125 is not just taking on the Ntorq, it’s sending a message. It’s stylish, tech packed and smartly priced — a serious contender for anyone in the 125cc sporty scooter space.
