- Xoom 160 adventure scooter gets a new engine
- Will be offered with a top box as an accessory
- India launch in six months
Hero MotoCorp has finally unveiled their most aspirational scooter – the Xoom 160 in India, at the Hero World 2024. This scooter was first revealed to the world at the 2023 EICMA Show in Italy.
The Xoom 160 is Hero MotoCorp’s first attempt at entering the world of big scooters. As of now, there isn’t a single such scooter in the Indian market and Hero is looking to be the first one. A few Japanese and European manufacturers do have such scooters but they are primarily sold in European and US markets.
The Xoom 160 looks good – thanks to the tall body proportions. At the front, there’s a large windscreen, a pair of V-shape headlights and also a beak, which is usually seen on adventure motorcycles. From the side, it is clear that the scooter gets a maxi-scooter inspiration due to the presence of a central spine. To make it more touring-friendly, there’s a single seat and a large floorboard space. Hero plans to offer large top boxes as accessories too.
This Hero Xoom 160 is powered by a brand new 156cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. Sadly, the power figures have not been revealed yet, and this could happen tomorrow. The rest of the cycle parts are regular telescopic front forks and dual rear shocks. The brakes include a front and rear disc brake mounted on 14-inch wheels which get block-pattern tyres. Its features list comprises LED illumination, a smart key, an ignition dial, a remote key ignition, and a smart find.
Hero MotoCorp will launch the new Xoom 160 within six months and is likely to be priced around Rs 1.3 lakh (ex-showroom). The scooter will be offered in a range of attractive colours and will also see plenty of accessories.
