Modern technology has propelled the entire world forward. Keeping pace with the times, various two-wheeler manufacturers have revamped their old designs to bring innovation. Hero MotoCorp, the largest two-wheeler manufacturer, recently introduced the Xoom 160 as the country’s first adventure scooter. In November last year, Hero unveiled this large-faced scooter for the first time at the Milan Motorcycle Show.

Up until now, Hero has focused significantly on the entry-level segment. However, lately, they have shown interest in bringing high-performance bikes, especially eyeing the 160cc scooter market. In India, there is a dearth of scooters like the Xoom 160. While some Japanese and European companies produce similar scooters, they are mainly limited to America and Europe. Thus, Hero MotoCorp has ventured into this domain, aiming to play a pivotal role in guiding the path.

The Hero Xoom 160 boasts a striking appearance. It features a tall windshield, V-shaped twin headlights, and an element resembling a bird’s beak that is typical of adventure motorcycles. From the side, it exudes inspiration from Maxi Scooters, providing a comfortable touring seat and a spacious floorboard for relaxed long rides.

Hero Xoom 160: Engine Specifications

Regardless of design or features, when it comes to adventure models, the engine has to be robust. Hero has taken ample care in this aspect. The Xoom 160 is powered by a new 156cc liquid-cooled engine. However, specific details about its output are yet to be disclosed.

The responsibility of suspension of this scooter falls on telescopic forks and dual shock absorbers. Both wheels are equipped with disc brakes, complemented by 14-inch alloy wheels with block-patterned tires. Other features include LED lighting, a smart key, ignition dial, remote key ignition, and smart find technology.

Hero Xoom 160: Price

Hero MotoCorp is set to launch the adventure scooter, Xoom 160, within the next six months. The expected showroom price will be around 1.30 lakh INR. The scooter will come with various accessory options, including preferred color schemes.
