Hero MotoCorp is preparing to intensify competition in the 125cc segment by offering various models, including commuter, sport, and sport-commuter motorcycles. The Hero Xtreme 125R model is highly popular among consumers, and the company plans to introduce several changes to it.
The main competitors to this model are the TVS Raider 125, Pulsar 125, and Honda CB 125 Hornet. Previously, TVS increased competition by implementing a TFT display, and then Honda updated its motorcycle with this feature. In response, Bajaj Pulsar 125 is also preparing for an update, prompting Hero not to fall behind.
The company intends to equip its popular sport-commuter model, the Hero Xtreme 125R, with a TFT instrument cluster and, for the first time in this segment, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Since these features are currently in demand, adding them to the Xtreme 125R is beneficial for Hero.
Previously, the TFT instrument cluster was available on the Hero Xtreme 160R, and now the company plans to offer it on the 125R version as well. Although there is no official confirmation from the company yet, the appearance of the motorcycle with new features has been observed. Currently, this model is equipped with a 4.2-inch LCD display, but the new TFT display will only be available in higher-end variants.
The most expensive variant of the motorcycle is priced at 108,300 rupees, including export duties. The company might add a new top-tier option. The Hero Xtreme 125R already boasts numerous features: split seat, dual disc brakes, dual-channel ABS, full LED lighting, riding modes, a wide 120-spoke wheel, mono-shock absorber, and AG styling.
Furthermore, the company has added Ride by Wire, TPMS, and cruise control functions. With these new capabilities, the motorcycle becomes the best product in its segment. Besides the new features, no other changes are expected. The motorcycle is powered by a 125cc engine that produces 11.4 hp and 10.5 Nm of torque. It comes with a 5-speed gearbox and features RSU telescopic front suspension and a rear mono-shock absorber.
Regarding pricing, the company may introduce a new top-tier variant that includes features such as the TFT display and TPMS. Currently, the starting price of this motorcycle is 91,500 rupees, including export duties.
