Hero MotoCorp Rolls Out Xtreme 125R Stealth Edition With TFT Screen And TPMS

Hero MotoCorp has launched a new top-end version of its sporty 125cc motorcycle called the Xtreme 125R Stealth Edition. The price is set at 1,16,250 rupees ex-showroom, which is 6,700 rupees more than the current dual-channel ABS model that costs 1,09,550 rupees. Overall, the price range for the motorcycle now runs from 91,500 rupees up to 1,16,250 rupees across its various trims.

Key Features

The main upgrade is a 4.2-inch digital instrument cluster that connects to phones using Bluetooth. This screen lets riders see turn-by-turn directions, check calls and text alerts, and control music playback. Another major addition is a tyre pressure monitoring system, which the company states is a first for this category of bikes. The machine also comes with dual-channel anti-lock brakes, three drive settings named Rain, Road, and Sport, plus cruise control.

Design And Engine

Visually, the new model features a special Midnight Black paint job with red highlights and painted alloy wheels. The core body shape stays the same, keeping the sharp headlamp, angular fuel tank panels, and split seats found on standard models. Other color choices for the regular lineup include red, blue, and several black variants with different color accents. Under the bodywork, it uses a 124.7cc motor that is cooled by air and fed by fuel injection. This engine pushes out 11.4 brake horsepower at 8,250 rotations per minute and 10.5 newton-metres of torque at 6,500 revolutions per minute, working alongside a five-speed transmission. The company states the bike can go from zero to sixty kilometres per hour in 5.7 seconds and gives a mileage of 66 kilometres per litre.

Hardware And Rivals

The bike is built on a diamond frame with 37-millimetre front forks and a rear monoshock that can be adjusted in seven steps. Braking duties are handled by a 276-millimetre front disc and a 220-millimetre rear disc. It features 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10-litre fuel tank, a seat height of 794 millimetres, 180 millimetres of ground clearance, and a wheelbase of 1,319 millimetres. The new bike is now available at showrooms throughout the country and competes directly against models like the TVS Raider 125 and the Honda CB125 Hornet.

Context

Adding premium technology like digital screens and tyre sensors to smaller-engine motorcycles shows how companies are trying to attract young buyers who want modern features without buying a bigger machine. Entry-level sports bikes in the country have seen a major push in recent years to include advanced safety gear like anti-lock brakes as standard or optional upgrades. This segment remains one of the most competitive spaces in the domestic market due to strong demand for daily commuters that look sporty.
