I thought Hero was only Indian OEM who were lacking in design and their only focus was to lead the commuter segment. But seeing this bike in 125cc, oh boy I was so wrong. This will eat into TVS Raider's share and will be the all new benchmark in Indian 125cc space.

[@Joker_Kid]

Not only raider... Another 125cc king Honda SP also.... Single channel ABS of xtreme is smartest decision of Hero.. Now all age of riders will opt for this model...

Raider & SP.... Both kings of 125cc gone in single strike of HERO...👍 ABS xtreme gonna rule the market... 🔥🔥🔥

[@asitkhanda]

Looks like Hero is chaging strategy for 2024. If they can keep up with quality levels and service, it might a company to consider for it's newer higher cc vehicles.

[@chandrashekharmuktapur3493]

Never and ever underestimate the Power of indian motorcycle company . Hero was late into the performance and premium segment. After 2020 they had arrived in the game. Hero is not a small company. Indian engineers are capable of producing excellent motorcycles. Proud of indian brands. Hero No 1 motorcycle brand

[@chandrashekharmuktapur3493]

Looks are always subjective brother. It's left to customer to decide. We are always there to point out negatives instead appreciate the good from Indian brands.

[@shahan484]

Hero is literally only a thing because if Honda, almost all of their products were Honda till couple years back. And it's no. 1 as in it makes most number of bikes in the world. But it doesn't even matter because it's only 100 & 125cc bikes they make.

[@chandrashekharmuktapur3493]

@@shahan484 There is no doubt about honda's technology transfer was their to hero till 2010. Honda technology is best there is no doubt . hero has learnt lot from honda in past. Hero had focused more in 100cc till 2020, point to be noted that honda didnt able to produce one more splendor or Deluxe or passion .. No two wheeler manufacturer came close to hero sales . being No.1 for more than 20+ years is not a small thing. Hero knows that this is the era of joint ventures as industry is seeing lot of shift in operating business. Thats why they have joined hands with harley this time. you will see best products from hero in coming years . its just a matter of time. we can see many companies who are into joint ventures suzuki-toyota, tvs-bmw, ktm-bajaj.

[@kaustavp]

Hero put 80% of designing budget into the 125R and 80% of promotional budget into the maveric, hence we were excited for the M but settled for the R.

[@sumitkumarpatra]

At maverick launch , every rivals were ohh its the same high segment engine, Now they know maverick was just a madeup for 125R. Range + affordability comes first. So atlast after 2013 Ignitor now they launch 125R❤❤❤ in 2024

Guys, before you buy a bike of hero wait longer as you can. Check their ownership review, because engine quality of hero is not so much good. So buy it after 3-4 months after launch if you really want value for money. Thanks and I also appreciate hero .

How ironic it is that a few larger bikes looked smaller in front of Rishad and this 125cc bike looks quite proportionate to him.. I guess Hero has done a good job and now 125cc consumer market has a more better and attractive option.

[@sanjeevanmukherjee754]

Rethinking Hero Xtreme 125R: KTM 125 Duke Eater with a DOHC Heartbeat Forget basic commuters, the Hero Xtreme 125R could become a 125cc beast with a few upgrades. Imagine this: 1. Unleash the Fury: Ditch the single-lunger, slap in a 4-valve DOHC engine. This bad boy would scream with more power and smoother revs, leaving the KTM in its dust on straights. 2. Command the Gearbox: Swap the 5-speed for a slick 6-speed transmission. Carve corners with pinpoint precision, unleash neck-snapping acceleration, and conquer any road with the perfect gear at your fingertips. 3. Trellis Terror: Toss the diamond frame, bring on the trellis. This lightweight beast would rip through corners like a razor, making the Xtreme 125R a corner-carving assassin. 4. USD Domination: Replace those forks with upside-down bad boys. Feel every bump, crush every corner, and stop on a dime with the confidence of a champion. 5. Dual Disc Defense: Double the stopping power, double the safety. Tame the beast with modern dual channel ABS and dual discs, leaving fear in the rearview mirror. 6. Aggressive Appeal: Dress the Xtreme in its battle armor. Trellis frame, USD forks, dual discs - this wouldn't just be a motorcycle, it would be a statement. A head-turner. A KTM 125 Duke's worst nightmare. Sure, it might cost a bit more, maybe require a little extra love. But for riders who crave adrenaline, the Xtreme 125R, with these upgrades, could rewrite the rules of the game.

[@sathish_vj2890]

It's really look awesome team.Big kudos to the designing team of hero motor corp..

[@ringtonesapiens3879]

I think they overdid the design for a 125 cc🥺. The design is just 🔥 but they must have utilised this for their 160cc or even for their new 210 ccLc engines. The reason for the success of raider 125 is it's not too sporty like this but a beefed up utility bike with a nice and peppy engine. For us people, 125 and below are meant to be commuters and they need to be accessible to all kinds of riders. This was exactly what happened to the raider.Most of the people considered it as having a normal commuter position and no sporty elements like a naked bike. And with a punchy engine and beefed up tanks and shrouds without changing the position, youngsters also got attracted towards it. 🔥🔥 Even i can say ns125 failed in bringing an expression that raider made in the market. NS 125 is the best handler as it has a perimeter frame and adds to its sporty character. But it failed because of us people, who have a thought like 125 and below are commuters and need to be utilitarian. I think this will be the same case with xtreme 125 bcz they overdid the design

[@shubhamsaha4057]

Your analysis is failing it seems... Have you seen the sales figures? The demand for Xtreme 125R is increasing... every month

[@christopherjongte865]

This looks so much better than the mavrick 😂

[@prasaadruke8635]

The last best or ever, 125cc 4 stroke engine was the one in the Yamaha Gladiator. It revved beyond 9,500 rpm. Does this engine have a 2 valve head or a 4 valve ? You never mentioned it ! I'm guessing it's a 2 valve head. But, it's better to be sure when it comes to engine specs. Which I take very seriously. Also where does the redline for this engine start ?

[@chevvakulasrikanth9260]

Looking forward to the comparison..

[@JimmyChhakchhuak]

Looks even way better than the extreme 160r and 200r. Hope it can get the engine from the new karizma 210 and call it extreme 210r with dual channel ABS and slipper clutch, would sell like hot cakes. Overall design looks more like it belongs to atleast 160/200cc category bikes. Hero please put the 210cc engine on it and price it at around 1.5 -1.7 lakhs would've been awesome especially in slick shiney black colour
