The Hero Xtreme 125R is a warm combination of the sporty appearance and affordable entry level costs with the efficient and easy to maintain engine. The sharp LED headlamp, muscular commuter stance, and the sleek sculpted fuel tank ensure that the Xtreme 125R is the centre of attention on the congested city streets. Its looks are not the only status, it also has a good combination of power and comfort and a balance in efficiency that is favorable to both normal riders and to weekend adrenalin enthusiasts.
Design and Styling
The well-proportioned frontal facial appearance, with LED-projector type headlight and LED DRLs, instantly differentiates the Xtreme 125R against run-of-the-mill commuters. The chiseled shape of the fuel tank with imposing knee recesses, optimizes the grip of the rider, and the sporty graphics give it the flash appearance. A trim split seat and alloy wheels round the package producing a small but sporty looking bike.
Engine & Performance
The 124.7cc engine has been set with 11.4 PS peak power, 10.5 Nm of torque, and it is an air-cooled single-cylinder, frame-mounted, and water-fed four-stroke engine. Coupled with a smooth five-speed, the Xtreme 125R is easy to accelerate and reach the desired speed. It cruises with steady speeds in open highways without going stressful.
Handling and Comfort
The Xtreme 125R is a lightweight, tipping the scales at 136 kg (kerb) and is nimble in the city. Its diamond-type frame provides stability-inspiring confidence and telescopic front forks and a five-step adjustable rear mono-shock will smooth out urban potholes and highway undulations. The handlebars are well ergonomically positioned and the stance is slightly leaning forward so the balance between sporty ride and everyday comfort is just right.
Fuel Efficiency
Hero says that its ARAI fuel consumption is 66 km/L, although most real riders report between 58 -60 km/L. Its 10 L fuel tank ensures long rides without the need to stop frequently to refill, thus, making the Xtreme 125R convenient to use both in everyday situations and the weekend adventures.
Features and Technology
Speed, RPM, odometer, trip meter, fuel gauge, clock and gear-position indicator are all displayed clearly in a semi digital instrument console. The addition of bulb-free LED elements in both the front and the rear make visibility easier, whereas the engine-kill switch and battery that is long-lasting and maintenance-free provides a practical convenience.
Safety and Braking
The Xtreme 125R has two different braking systems: Either a front disc and rear drum braking setup with Integrated braking system (IBS) or front disc with rear drum and single-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS). Both variations provide gradual brake feedback to ensure stopping power in all kinds of road conditions is being maintained confidently.
