Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to heat up the 125cc scooter segment with the long-awaited Hero Xoom 125, and deliveries are reportedly set to begin soon. After much anticipation and a brief glimpse during the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024, the larger sibling of the Xoom 110 is finally heading to dealerships.
While Hero has not yet confirmed the official launch date, internal sources and dealer-level activity suggest the dispatches could commence within the coming weeks.
Xoom Goes Bigger: What’s New?
The Hero Xoom 125 is essentially a beefed-up version of the Xoom 110, which already stands out in the market for its sharp styling and tech-packed features. However, the new 125cc variant aims to bring more power and improved ride dynamics while retaining the edgy, youthful DNA that made the original Xoom popular among younger riders.
The key highlight is the larger 124.6cc air-cooled engine, which is expected to deliver around 9.4 bhp and 10.16 Nm of torque, similar to what we see in the Hero Destini 125 XTEC and Maestro Edge 125. However, the tuning may differ slightly to offer a sportier throttle response tailored for city agility and weekend fun rides.
Styling and Features: More Than Just a Bigger Engine
In terms of design, the Xoom 125 looks sharp and futuristic, just like its younger sibling, but with some premium enhancements. Expect LED projector headlamps, H-shaped LED DRLs, LED tail lamps, and multi-spoke alloy wheels with disc brakes up front.
The instrument cluster is likely to be a fully digital console with Bluetooth connectivity, supporting turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS alerts, and real-time mileage display. Hero has been pushing connectivity features across its two-wheeler lineup, and the Xoom 125 won’t be an exception.
Riders can also expect segment-first features like a cornering light system, which was a standout on the Xoom 110, making night-time turns safer and more stylish. Additional practical touches, like a USB charger, boot light, and front glove box, may also be carried over or upgraded.
Competition Heats Up in the 125cc Space
The Hero Xoom 125 is entering a space that’s currently dominated by established players like the TVS Ntorq 125, Honda Dio 125, and Suzuki Access 125. Each competitor has carved a distinct niche — be it performance, reliability, or comfort.
Hero’s approach with the Xoom 125 seems to focus on blending youthful appeal with everyday practicality, backed by the brand’s vast service network and competitive pricing. While the official price is yet to be revealed, expectations suggest it will be priced around ₹90,000 to ₹95,000 (ex-showroom), undercutting or matching rivals with similar features.
Expected Delivery Timeline
According to dealership sources, units have already started reaching Hero’s regional stockyards, and customer deliveries could begin as early as late May or early June 2025. Pre-bookings may open shortly before that, possibly via Hero’s online portal and authorised dealerships.
Customers who have been waiting for a sporty 125cc scooter with a fresh design and modern features now have another strong option to consider. The Xoom 125 could be the right mix of performance, style, and convenience — especially for young urban commuters.

Final Thoughts
Hero MotoCorp seems ready to strike in a growing segment with the Xoom 125, offering more power and modern features in a youthful package. While the official specs, price, and test ride reviews are awaited, early impressions and the buzz at dealerships suggest the scooter could become a popular pick this season.
Whether it can take on the likes of Ntorq or Dio in real-world performance and ride comfort remains to be seen, but one thing is clear — the race in the 125cc scooter category just got a lot more exciting.
