Hero MotoCorp is expected to launch a brand new 125 cc scooter at the Auto Expo 2018. So far, Hero doesn't have any scooter on sale in the 125 cc segment, which has scooters like the Suzuki Access 125, Honda Activa 125 and more recently the Honda Grazia. According to reports, Hero has been working on a 125 cc scooter for some time now, but there's been no word on a full-scale production model. Hero had unveiled a 125 cc scooter concept called the Dare at the Auto Expo 2014. It's been four years since then, and from all indications, Hero is very likely to launch the production model of the Dare concept at the Auto Expo 2018.
