Variant Just Before Launch!
Some reports have it that Hero MotoCorp is working on a new variant of Xtreme 125R. Being tested through cosmetic changes, i.e., new dual-tone colour combinations, new graphics, and bodywork alterations. A particularly interesting point is that Hero may really want to price this one below ₹1.5 lakh, making it an unbeatable proposition for a sporty 125cc.
Hero Xtreme 125R Powertrain & Performance
True to its name, the Xtreme 125R has underpinnings of an air-cooled 124.7cc single-cylinder motor generating a power output of about 11.5 bhp @ 8,000 rpm and around ~10.5-10.6 Nm torque, mated to a 5-speed gear. The bike sprints from 0-60 km/hr in about 5.9 seconds showing the extent to which the company has packed power into this bike, which is termed SPRINT Technology. Mileage is claimed to be between 65 and 66 km/l (ARAI), whereas real usage figures show the mileage to be 74 km/l on the road.
Features Of Hero Xtreme 125 R
While the variant will carry Hero’s unique front single-channel ABS (optional for the higher trim level), the base model will bear the IBS. The higher-visibility and styling advantage will come from full LED lighting comprising projector LED headlight with X-dimensioned DRLs, LED tail lamp, and indicators.
The cockpit will feature a fully digital instrument console showing speed, tachometer, gear position, service reminder, trip meters, and fuel, with Bluetooth call/SMS alerts and ride telemetry support for the highest variant. Additionally, it will offer USB charging, side-stand-off, and hazard lights for convenience.
Price Of Hero Xtreme 125R
Price expectation for the starting variant sits around ₹95,000-1,00,000 (ex-showroom Delhi) whereas the ABS variant is expected to cross that 1.5lakh mark in almost all metros on-road. It is right there in that price range where it competes against TVS Raider 125, Bajaj Pulsar NS125, and Honda SP 125 — all with performance on offer.
