Hero MotoCorp, a leading Indian two-wheeler manufacturer, just began this year fabulously by launching Hero Xtreme 125R which is aimed at the younger generation. This 125CC bike is screaming out loud with its sporty fun look, powerful engine, modern features like full-LED lighting and Bluetooth connectivity, and a stylish design. This sporty segment of Hero Xtreme 125R gives a good fight to TVS Raider in terms of Design, Price and Safety.
Exploring Hero Xtreme 125R Pricing
The sporty bike comes in two variants: IBS and ABS. The IBS variant has a starting ex-showroom price of Rs. 95,000, while the ABS variant starts at Rs. 99,500. This means that the ABS variant costs about Rs. 4,500 more than the IBS variant.
A little more detailed breakdown of the pricing:
- Hero Xtreme 125R IBS: Rs. 95,000 (ex-showroom)
- Hero Xtreme 125R ABS: Rs. 99,500 (ex-showroom)
Now what is the difference between IBS and ABS?
ABS stands for Anti-Lock Braking System. It is a safety feature that helps prevent the wheels from locking up during hard braking, which can lead to skidding and loss of control. IBS (Integrated Braking System) is a simpler system that helps distribute braking force between the front and rear wheels. It doesn’t offer the same level of safety as ABS, but it is still a beneficial feature, especially for new riders.
So, which variant should you choose?
If you are having a tight budget, the IBS variant is a good option. However, if safety is your top priority, then the ABS variant is the better choice. ABS can help you avoid accidents, especially in slippery conditions.
Xtreme Engine
The Hero Xtreme 125R adds a great value with its 124.7cc BS6 engine that’s built for performance and efficiency.
This technology combines Smooth Power Response and Instant Torque with Enhanced Boost Technology (EBT). In simpler terms, this translates to a zippy ride with quick acceleration, thanks to the EBT that provides an extra surge of power when needed.
The engine delivers a maximum power output of 11.4 BHP at 8250 rpm and a peak torque of 10.5 Nm at 6500 rpm. This gives the Xtreme 125R enough muscle to tackle city traffic and handle highway cruising comfortably. Hero claims an impressive fuel economy of 66 km/l, making the Xtreme 125R a wallet-friendly option.
This nifty feature automatically shuts off the engine when the motorcycle is idling for a certain period, say at traffic lights. This helps in saving fuel, especially in stop-and-go traffic conditions.
