Hero Xoom 110: 6 Ways It Delivers A Great Riding Experience With Unmatched Value!

In a scooter market full of options, here’s how Hero MotoCorp has ensured that the Xoom 110 stands out to deliver great value to its buyers.

If there’s one type of vehicle that has made commuting in India’s urban landscape a breeze, it’s got to be scooters. Regardless of what else you own, chances are that you either already have a scooter in your garage or are planning to get one, because let’s face it - there’s no better way to move around town. Whether it’s traveling to work or making your weekly grocery run, scooters rule. It’s no surprise then that there are many options to choose from, but one that really stands out from the crowd has got to be the Hero Xoom 110.

The appeal for the Hero Xoom 110 itself is multi-faceted and then of course there’s the fact that Hero MotoCorp is a brand as trusted and revered in every Indian household as a hot cup of morning chai. So if you’re looking to get a scooter that pretty much does it all with great aplomb while breathing in a breath of fresh air, then here are 6 reasons why we think the Hero Xoom 110 will give you a riding experience like no other.

1. Style Statement: As sporty as it is elegant!

One look at the Xoom 110 and you immediately notice the awesome job that Hero MotoCorp’s design department has done with it. The aerodynamic approach to the design gives it sharp and edgy panels with enough creases and folds to make you admire it from front to back every time you head out for a ride. On the front, the futuristic H-shaped DRL, LED headlamps, corner bending lights just below and diamond-cut alloy wheels dominate the persona, along with the handlebar cowl fitted with a small, but very effective visor. This is further enhanced by the intelligent inclusion of black panels along with the main body colour - a theme that extends to the rear as well. If you opt for the Combat Edition, you even get Fighter Wing inspired graphics on the panels and a unique Matte Shadow Grey colour that looks simply stunning. 

Especially notable is the way the design of the front cowl complements the lines flowing along the sides of the Xoom 110 ending in a black panel that houses the LED tail lamp. The one-piece seat is wonderfully shaped with a contour for the rider and a texture on the pillion end. Even the design of the exhaust has been integrated brilliantly into the overall design theme - making it an integral part of the Xoom’s appeal. Every element of the Xoom 110’s design turns out to be perfectly in harmony with each other, elevating the style statement and turning heads wherever it goes.

2. 12-inch wheels: Bigger is better!

While most scooters in the segment make do with 10-inch wheels, the Hero Xoom 110 employs a 12-inch setup both front and rear. This not only adds that much muscle to the way the scooter looks, but most definitely translates to a better riding experience as well - especially while taking corners or cutting through traffic. The Xoom’s VX, ZX and Combat Editions also get a wider 100-80-12 56L rear tyre - further enhancing grip on any kind of surface. It’s not just about cornering grip though - the bigger and wider tyres coupled with the telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers up front and unit swingarm with spring loaded hydraulic dampers at the back also mean more comfort when negotiating broken tarmac or even non-existent roads giving the Xoom the ability to ride over bumps and potholes with the utmost ease. No matter where you’re riding, the Hero Xoom instills the confidence of being able to tackle whatever our roads throw at it.

3. Swift Performance: Being quick matters

Powering the Hero Xoom 110 is a 110.9cc, air-cooled, 4 stroke SI engine making 8.2PS or power at 7250  rpm while torque peaks at 8.7Nm @ 5750 rpm. Coupled with a kerb weight of just 108-109 kg (depending on the variant), this makes for a very quick scooter on the road. Accelerating from 0 to 60km/h is achieved in just 9.35 seconds (claimed) making the Xoom 110 a really strong performer, so leaving the rest of the traffic behind is as easy as twisting the throttle! It also makes overtaking slower drivers and riders that much quicker and ensures that the Xoom 110 is never out of breath even when climbing steep inclines. The performance on tap also translates to a stress-free ride whether you’re riding solo, with a pillion or even when loaded with luggage on the floorboard and in the big boot!

4. Great Brakes: Keeping things anchored

When you have great performance to get ahead of everyone else on the road, you need great stopping power too. While the rear wheel on the Hero Xoom 110 gets a 130mm drum, the ZX and Combat Edition get a very effective 190 mm disc setup on the front wheel. Combined with the bigger and wider tyres, the front disc gives unmatched stopping power, hauling the Xoom to a standstill from the high speeds it can achieve with relative ease. So no matter the riding scenario, you’re always in control.

5. XTEC Engine: Efficiency that keeps you going

Hero MotoCorp has always been known for giving the Indian buyer products that are highly fuel efficient and despite the Xoom’s powerful performance, it still delivers on the fuel efficiency front. With an ARAI rated mileage of 53.4 kmpl and a fuel tank capacity of 5.2 litres, you can ride almost 280 km on a tankful of petrol thanks to the XTEC engine’s revolutionary i3S technology. To put this into perspective, that’s more than enough to handle your daily office commutes for two whole weeks if your one-way to work is 14 km - and quite frankly, that’s a lot! Even if you have weekend plans to get out of town to a great picnic spot, the Xoom’s performance, bigger and wider tyres, well-tuned suspension and it’s fuel efficient XTEC engine will have you sorted. For those situations when you’re low on fuel, the Xoom also offers a low-fuel warning on its digital console along with a Real Time Mileage Indicator to give you all the information you need.

6. Pricing: Truly unmatched Value for Money!

You’d expect a scooter with all the amazing features listed above to cost higher than usual, but the Hero Xoom 110 starts at only Rs 71,484* for the base LX variant. The Xoom VX brings in alloy wheels and comes in at Rs 74,917* while the ZX with the front disc brake sits at Rs 79,967*. The snazzy-looking Hero Xoom Combat Edition with its attractive fighter jet inspired graphics and unique matte grey colour tops the range at Rs 80,967* (*all prices ex-showroom, Delhi). Considering the very attractive and futuristic styling, high performance as well as fuel efficiency, great riding experience and packed-to-the-brim features list, the Hero Xoom truly delivers bang for your buck like no other!
