Hero Xtreme 125R is a bike available in 2 variants and 3 colours. The Hero Xtreme 125R is powered by 124.7cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 11.4 bhp and a torque of 10.5 Nm. With front disc and rear drum brakes, Hero Xtreme 125R comes up with anti-locking braking system. This Xtreme 125R bike weighs 136 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 10 liters.

The Xtreme 125R is Hero’s sporty commuter offering that rivals the likes of the TVS Raider 125. It is being offered in two variants- IBS and ABS with a differentiation in pricing.

The design of the Xtreme 125R is unlike most commuters on the market as it offers a sporty take to it. The front end gets a low-slung full-LED headlamp with a design similar to the Xtreme 200S’ unit. Even the fuel tank and rear section look buff and is completed with the split-seat setup. That said, Hero, is offering the Xtreme 125R in a choice of three colour options-  Firestorm Red, Cobalt Blue, Stallion Black

Powering the motorcycle is a 125cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled motor that churns out 11.5bhp and 10.5Nm and comes mated to a five-speed gearbox. The Hero Xtreme 125R rides on 37mm telescopic forks up front and a monoshock at the rear. While braking is done by a 276mm disc at the front and the option of a drum or disc at the rear.

As for features, the Xtreme 125R offers full-LED lighting and an interesting-looking LCD screen that offers Bluetooth connectivity for call and text alerts. It also comes with hazard lamps and is offered with ABS and a combined braking system as options.

We rode the Xtreme 125R for a brief period and in that time, the only major thing we could judge was the way it handles itself. The bike is extremely capable in the corners and also at some tight turns. This aspect combined with the lighter kerb weight is likely to make the new Hero Xtreme 125R a fun and easy bike to ride in the city. The 125cc motor offers good torque spread too, and the overall refinement is acceptable. But the biggest impact of this bike is its appearance. The bike will definitely turn heads, and to be honest, it feels as if the Xtreme 125R belongs to the 150cc segment.

All in all, the Hero Xtreme 125R proved to be a fun and engaging bike to ride. It presents itself as a properly sporty 125cc bike, the perfect rival to the likeable TVS Raider.
