At the front, it features a distinctive fascia with a Falcon LED DRL signature and is the first in its segment to come equipped with LED projector headlights. The handlebar cowl houses sequential LED turn indicators, adding a premium touch. The rear showcases split LED tail lights and robust split grab rails, complemented by a 120-section rear tire—the widest in its class—that enhances its muscular stance.
Features and Functionalities
The Xoom 125 is equipped with practical features such as a flat floorboard, external fuel filler cap with a buzzer, and a single-sided mono-shock suspension at the rear. The dual-tone machined alloy wheels and the positioning of the exhaust contribute to its sporty profile.
Dynamics and Performance
Powering the Xoom 125 is a 124.6cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, delivering 9.8 bhp of peak power and 10.4 Nm of peak torque. This engine features Hero MotoCorp’s proprietary i3S start/stop technology to enhance fuel efficiency.
