Hero Xoom 125 — Overview

The Hero Xoom 125 is a scooter available at a price range of Rs. 85,279 - Rs. 92,900 in India. It comes in 2 variants and 4 colours. It is powered by a 124.6 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a user reported mileage of 45 kmpl. With both front and rear drum brakes, the Hero Xoom 125 comes with combined braking system on both wheels. The Xoom 125 scooter weighs 120 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 5 liters. It develops a power output of 9.8 bhp and a torque of 10.4 Nm.

The Hero Xoom 125 turned heads at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 for one specific reason: it's the only 125cc scooter in its price bracket that runs on 14-inch wheels. Every rival - the Ntorq 125, Access 125, Activa 125 - sticks to 12-inch wheels. Hero didn't, and it makes a real difference. You sit higher, corner more confidently, and the whole scooter just looks beefier on the road. Priced between Rs 86,900 and Rs 92,900 across two variants (VX and ZX), the Xoom 125 packs a 124.6cc air-cooled engine making 9.8 bhp, a fully digital Bluetooth cluster with turn-by-turn navigation, and a Hero-claimed ARAI mileage of 52.8 kmpl. For a commuter scooter, that's a genuinely interesting combination. Whether it's the right buy depends on how much the stiff suspension and slightly dull mid-range will bother you - but there's real substance here.

Hero Xoom 125 Latest Updates

View all

  • Hero MotoCorp is offering seasonal dealership benefits on the Xoom 125 in May 2026, including exchange bonuses and accessory bundling at select Hero dealerships across India.

  • Hero MotoCorp posted 44% year-on-year sales growth in February 2026, dispatching 5.58 lakh units - the Xoom 125 was among the scooter models contributing to the brand's sustained growth in the sporty commuter segment.

What We Like

  • 14-inch wheels are segment-unique at this price - better stability, road presence and cornering feel vs 12-inch rivals
  • Feature-packed for the money: Bluetooth cluster with turn-by-turn navigation, LED projector headlamp, USB charger, cornering lamps
  • Real-world mileage of 45-52 kmpl is best-in-class among sporty 125cc scooters
  • Hero's service network is unmatched - over 9,000 touchpoints across India means help is rarely far away

What Could Be Better

  • Suspension is noticeably stiff - broken city roads and speed bumps send shocks straight up the spine
  • Mid-range acceleration feels flat; the TVS Ntorq 125 pulls harder between 40-70 kmph
  • Sloping seat causes the rider to slide forward under hard braking - uncomfortable on longer rides

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Hero Xoom 125?

The Hero Xoom 125 is a well-thought-out 125cc scooter for riders who want sporty looks, genuine stability, and strong fuel efficiency without paying a premium. The 14-inch wheels are its ace card, and the feature set punches well above the price. If you can live with the stiff suspension and don't need neck-snapping acceleration, this is one of the smartest commuter buys in the segment right now. Thrill-seekers should look at the TVS Ntorq 125 first.

QWhat is the seat height of the Hero Xoom 125 and is it suitable for short riders?▾
The Hero Xoom 125 has a seat height of 777 mm - slightly taller than average for a 125cc scooter, a direct result of its 14-inch wheels. Riders under 5'3" may not be able to flat-foot at stops. A test sit at the nearest Hero dealership is strongly recommended before purchase.
QWhat is the estimated monthly EMI for the Hero Xoom 125?▾
With a 20% down payment of approximately Rs 17,400 on the base VX variant (Rs 86,900 ex-showroom Delhi), the EMI works out to roughly Rs 3,800-4,200 per month over a 36-month loan at 9-12% per annum. Hero's finance partners including HDFC Bank and Bajaj Finance offer competitive rates; compare at least two offers before signing.

The Hero Xoom 125 comes with 5 free services and a 5-year / 50,000 km warranty. After the free service period, a standard service at a Hero authorised centre typically costs Rs 500-1,200. Engine oil should be changed every 3,000 km or 6 months - whichever comes first.
QWhat colours does the Hero Xoom 125 come in?▾
The Hero Xoom 125 is available in four colours: Metallic Turbo Blue and Matt Storm Grey on the VX variant, and Inferno Red and Matt Neon Lime on the ZX variant. Colour choice is tied to the variant - you cannot get Inferno Red on the base VX.

The TVS Ntorq 125 counters with sharper mid-range acceleration, a more exciting riding character, and a wider colour palette. For daily commuters prioritising mileage and stability, the Xoom 125 is the stronger choice; for riders who want more performance, the Ntorq edges ahead.
