Hero Xtreme 125R Single-Seat Variant Launched in India at ₹ 1 Lakh

Hero MotoCorp has quietly expanded the Xtreme 125R range with a new single-seat variant, retailing at ₹1 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Slotted between the entry-level IBS variant (₹98,425) and the split-seat ABS variant (₹1.02 lakh), this model offers a unique blend of practicality and comfort, addressing the needs of everyday riders and pillions without altering the bike’s proven mechanical DNA.

Engine & Performance
Mechanically identical to its siblings, the new variant retains the 124.7 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, producing approximately 11.4 bhp (or 11.5 hp in some sources) and 10.5 Nm of torque, mated to a smooth five-speed gearbox. Hero claims a mileage of around 66 kmpl, making it an efficient choice for daily commuting in the 125 cc segment.

Chassis & Handling
The chassis configuration remains unchanged—with telescopic front forks and a rear mono-shock, offering a balance of sporty agility and rider comfort. Braking duties are performed by a disc-drum setup, and the inclusion of single-channel ABS provides added safety, particularly beneficial in Indian traffic conditions. The silhouette remains largely sporty, even with the single-piece seat, maintaining the bike’s visual appeal.

Technology & Features
This variant mirrors the standard Xtreme 125R feature set—LED lighting across headlamp, taillamp, and indicators, plus a digital display cluster. While it does not include advanced features like cruise control or ride modes, Hero is reportedly preparing a higher-spec variant in the future that will share technologies from the Glamour X 125—such as ride-by-wire, cruise control, three ride modes, and colour LCD.

Conclusion
The Hero Xtreme 125R single-seat variant brings a compelling option to the sporty 125 cc commuter segment—offering enhanced comfort for pillions, practical versatility, and the trusted performance and mileage of the Xtreme 125R. Ideal for riders who prioritize comfort without sacrificing sporty aesthetics, this variant strikes a thoughtful balance. With familiar power, handling, and ABS safety, it reinforces the Xtreme 125R’s appeal as a well-rounded 125 cc sporty commuter.
