Hero Xtreme 125R Single-Seat Variant Launched At Rs 1 Lakh
What's New?
Introduction
- Hero updated the Xtreme 125R with a new dual-channel ABS variant in November 2025.

- It's a good package for beginners and youth looking for an attractive motorcycle.

- It is offered in three new colours such as Black Pearl Red, Black Matte Shadow Grey, and Black Leaf Green.
- In terms of features, the equipment includes cruise control, three ride modes (Eco, Road, and Power), and a colour LCD display.
Engine & Gearbox
- Mechanically, the Hero Xtreme 125R is unchanged.
- It is powered by a 125cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine.
- This mill produces 11.24bhp at 8,250rpm and 10.5Nm of torque at 6,500rpm.
- On the transmission front, the motor comes mated to a five-speed gearbox.

car&bike Expert Take
“Sitting comfortably in the 125 cc commuter segment, the Hero Xtreme 125R gives buyers big-bike technology along with an aggressive visual footprint. It packs some serious premium hardware, such as 37 mm Showa forks and an optional dual-channel ABS setup.”
The Hero Xtreme 125R is considered a decisive step by Hero MotoCorp to maintain the company’s popular run in the sporty commuter segment. Interestingly, traditional 125 cc motorcycles prioritise utility and economy the most, but Hero’s offering challenges these norms with segment-first technology and a design that’s as fresh as it is aggressive. It’s built on a lightweight diamond frame and comes with advanced suspension components developed with Showa.
This motorcycle's initial acceleration is reliably quick. With recent updates, it became even better because of newly added features like cruise control, ride-by-wire throttle, and a vibrant LCD instrument cluster. Positioned to compete against the TVS Raider 125 and the Bajaj Pulsar NS125, the bike offers low running costs besides its attractive road presence and exciting riding dynamics.
Kingshuk Dutta checked out the bike’s performance in real-world conditions, while car&bike’s Assistant Editor Janak Sorap gauged its limits at Hero’s test track in Jaipur. We have shared their insights in this review as well to present our consensus about this motorcycle.
Pros
- Superior dual-channel ABS and ride modes
- Fuel-efficient 124.7 cc engine returning 60 kmpl
- Showa rear mono-shock suspension
- Bright full-LED lighting setup
Cons
- Pillion seat is cramped on split-seat models
- The engine feels stressed above 90 kmph
- Lacks a sixth gear for highway cruising
- Base variants miss out on advanced tech
Verdict
Operating both as a sensible daily commuter and a reliable streetfighter, Hero MotoCorp has successfully built a motorcycle that looks aggressive, but stays rider-friendly for urban environments. The Hero Xtreme 125R’s Sprint-EBT engine is smooth, fuel-efficient, and torquey enough in the lower range to manage your city escapades throughout the year. What truly sets the motorcycle apart is the focus Hero has given to its safety and technology. You get features like dual-channel ABS, ride-by-wire, cruise control, and most importantly, getting all of these features combined at this price bracket is very, very rare.
While it may not be the fastest machine in this segment, it offers composed suspension and nimble handling, making sure your city riding experience is not hampered. Overall, if you want a reliable, tech-loaded 125 cc motorcycle, and one whose visual profile clearly is meant to excite the younger generation, put the Hero Xtreme 125R at the top of your browsing list.
Janak concludes,
“On initial impressions, it has the credentials: the grunt, the handling, and looks to be a serious contender. The build quality is premium, the paint is high-quality, and the bike feels like a significant step up for Hero in the 125 cc space.”
Xtreme 125R Colour Options
