The 125cc motorcycle group in India has mostly been about being practical and saving fuel. But Hero MotoCorp is changing things with the Xtreme 125R, a bike that wants to add some sporty style and new features to this busy category. Made to attract young people and those who want a stylish but also money-saving ride, the Xtreme 125R is getting a lot of attention.
Cool Looks That Make People Stare
One of the best things about the Hero Xtreme 125R is how it looks. It’s different from the usual simple bikes, with a strong and young design. The sharp lines, the shaped fuel tank with its bold covers, and the special LED headlight make it look like a small streetfighter – it’s hard to miss! The split seat and the overall strong look make it seem like a bigger bike than a 125cc. Even the small details, like the ‘125R’ stickers and the built-in safety guard, make the design feel well-planned.
Good Performance That Has Some Power
Underneath the cool looks is a good 124.7cc engine that uses air to cool down and has 4 strokes. Hero has worked on making the performance smooth and quick to respond, which is great for riding in the city and for short trips on the highway. The engine makes a good 11.4 bhp of power and 10.5 Nm of turning force, giving you enough push to move through traffic and keep a comfortable speed. It also has a part that reduces shaking, which is a big plus in this type of bike. With a 5-speed gearbox, the Xtreme 125R gives a good mix of quick starts and easy cruising.
Lots of Features and Ready for the Future
The Hero Xtreme 125R doesn’t have few features; it even has some that you don’t usually see in this class. The most important is the single-channel ABS (available on some versions), which makes it much safer. All the lights are LED, including the main headlight, the back light, and the turn signals, so you can see well and it looks modern. The digital screen shows all the important information clearly. Useful things like a USB charger also make the bike good for everyday use.
Comfortable and Safe Ride
Hero has thought about how comfortable the rider will be on the Xtreme 125R. The straight-up riding position, the soft seat, and the well-placed handlebars and footrests help you ride without getting tired, even on longer rides. The suspension, with forks in the front and a Showa monoshock in the back, handles bumps well, making the ride feel steady and safe. The wide back tire (widest in its class) gives even better grip and stability, so you feel confident when you ride.
Saves You Money on Fuel
In the 125cc group, saving fuel is very important, and the Xtreme 125R does well here. It’s said to go 66 kilometers on one liter of fuel, so it’s designed to save you money. The Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system makes sure the fuel burns well, which helps save fuel and reduces pollution. With a 10-liter fuel tank, the Xtreme 125R can go a good distance before you need to fill up again.
Good Prices in Thane
In Thane, Maharashtra, the Hero Xtreme 125R has good prices, making it a great choice in the 125cc group. The prices you see in the showroom for the different versions are about this much (these are just estimates and can change):
- Xtreme 125R IBS: ₹ 96,712
- Xtreme 125R ABS: ₹ 101,439

The total price you pay in Thane will include extra costs like registration, insurance, and other fees, so it will probably be around ₹ 1.14 Lakh to ₹ 1.22 Lakh depending on the version and the insurance you choose.
