It does not matter whether you are navigating your way around the city or whether you are going to ride on open roads but the design of this bike will enable you stand out.
Punch-packed performance
The most important thing about the Hero Xtreme 125R is that it has been powered with a 124.7cc and a single cylinder and air-cooled engine with the i3S which is an Idiol Stop Start System. It has smooth, yet punchy performance, with the production of 11.4 bhp at the 8,250 RPM and 10.5 Nm of torque at the 6,000 RPM. Its five speed transmission is smooth and so it can be ridden in cities and highway equally. When it comes to the top speed, the riders should expect about 95-100 km/h, and its throttle response is quick, which will make everyday rides more enjoyable.
The engine has a smooth and silent drive in busy town, yet it excels when you push it into high revs and gives a thrilling drive to the ones in love with their cars. Nonetheless, there is a minor reported deficiency in the low-end shove ability, and vibrations can be experienced when clutching at the footpegs at the cruising-style speeds of 80km/h.

This means that its 10-liter fuel tank can cover a distance between 500 km to 600 km depending on the situation, at quite an affordable cost. The trade of the i3S technology also increases efficiencies through turning off the engine naturally when the car is at rest moments like the one at the traffic lights and the engine starts when the clutch has been reversed.
Contemporary Amenities of a Connected Ride

It improves braking efficiency, particularly on slippery streets, since it will not lock the wheels. In its base version, it comes with a Combined Braking System (CBS) that has a 240 mm front disc brake and a rear drum, and in its higher versions, it has a 276 mm front disc brake for better braking. The engine cut-off and hazard lights are a side-stand segment-first feature, in addition to the safety and convenience.
