Hero MotoCorp has introduced an exciting new single-seat variant of the Xtreme 125R, strategically priced at Rs. 1 lakh (ex-showroom). This model slots neatly between the entry-level IBS variant, priced at Rs. 98,425, and the premium split-seat version with ABS, which retails for Rs. 1.02 lakh (ex-showroom). The single-seat configuration is the primary change, with no additional tweaks to the motorcycleโs core design or mechanics.
The Xtreme 125R single-seater is driven by a reliable 124.7 cc single-cylinder engine, delivering a robust 11.5 horsepower and 10.5 Nm of torque. This engine, paired with a smooth five-speed gearbox, ensures an engaging ride. Notably, this powertrain is also featured in the newly launched Glamour X, showcasing Heroโs commitment to versatile engineering.
