Hero MotoCorp has officially launched the much-anticipated Xoom 160, its first-ever premium maxi-scooter for the Indian market. Introduced at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, the Xoom 160 marks Hero’s foray into a new segment that blends comfort, performance, and style into one adventure-ready package. Priced at ₹1,48,500 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the scooter is poised to compete directly with rivals like the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Aprilia SXR 160.
Deliveries of the Hero Xoom 160 are anticipated to begin between August and September 2025. Interested buyers have already started signing up through Hero’s official website and authorized showrooms. With its blend of sporty performance and everyday practicality, the Xoom 160 is likely to appeal to young professionals, college-goers, and riders looking for a capable long-distance scooter.
Bold Adventure Styling with Urban Sensibility
The Hero Xoom 160 breaks away from the traditional scooter design seen in India, embracing a bold and upright maxi-scooter look influenced by global adventure models. Its sharp and aggressive front apron houses twin LED headlamps, a tall flyscreen, and streamlined turn indicators. A pronounced central spine adds to its big-bike presence, while the contoured step-up seat ensures superior comfort for both rider and pillion on extended rides.
Available in four attractive shades — Canyon Red, Matte Rain Forest Green, Summit White, and Volcanic Grey — the Xoom 160 has been designed to look sporty, muscular, and futuristic, appealing to urban riders seeking a bold statement on the road.
Performance Backed by a Liquid-Cooled Engine
At the heart of the Hero Xoom 160 is a newly developed 156 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke engine. This powertrain delivers around 14.6 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 14 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm, making it one of the most powerful scooters in its class. Paired with a CVT automatic transmission, the Xoom 160 offers smooth throttle response and efficient power delivery for both city commuting and weekend rides.
With a kerb weight of around 142 kg, the scooter balances stability and agility, while its high ground clearance and longer wheelbase make it suitable for rough city roads and occasional highway cruising. Hero claims a fuel efficiency of approximately 40 kmpl, placing it competitively in its category.
Tech-Savvy & Feature-Rich
Hero has equipped the Xoom 160 with a range of modern features to enhance the rider experience. One of its key highlights is the fully digital LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, which provides turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS alerts, and trip data. The scooter also comes with a smart key system that enables remote ignition, seat unlocking, and even vehicle location tracking.
Adding to the convenience is USB charging, a remote fuel-lid opener, and Hero’s i3S idle start-stop system for better fuel economy. The lighting setup is fully LED, offering excellent visibility and enhancing the scooter’s premium appeal.
