Hero Xtreme 125R Gets New Single-Seat ABS Variant – Check Price, Features & Specs

Hero MotoCorp has quietly launched a new single-seat variant of its popular bike, the Hero Xtreme 125R, in the Indian market. Its ex-showroom price in Delhi is just ₹1 lakh, which is ₹2,000 less than the company’s top-end split-seat ABS model. Let’s take a closer look at all the details of this new variant.

Single-Seat Variant Pricing

The company now offers the Xtreme 125R in three variants:

Xtreme 125R Single-Seat ABS Variant: Priced at ₹100,000, ex-showroom.

Split-Seat IBS Variant: Priced at ₹98,425.

Split-Seat ABS Variant: Priced at ₹102,000.

Thus, the new single-seat variant serves as a great mid-level option for customers, offering a good balance between price and features.

What are the changes

The new variant features a revised seat design only. The remaining engine and features remain the same as the previous model. The single-seat design provides improved comfort for both rider and pillion rider, making it particularly comfortable for daily commutes. While it doesn’t look as sporty as the split-seat version, it surpasses it in terms of comfort.

Engine and Performance

The Hero Xtreme 125R is powered by the same 124.7cc single-cylinder engine that powers the new Hero Glamour X 125. This engine produces 11.4 bhp of power at 8,250 rpm and 10.5 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. It comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox. This engine delivers balanced performance both in the city and on the highway.

Safety and Features

In terms of safety, it features single-channel ABS, which prevents the bike from skidding during sudden braking. Its attractive design (sporty tank, LED headlights) and comfortable riding posture give it a unique position in its segment.

Market Competition

The new single-seat variant of the Xtreme 125R directly competes with bikes like the TVS Raider 125, Honda CB 125 Hornet, and Bajaj Pulsar N125.

If you’re looking for a stylish, safe, and comfortable 125cc bike under ₹1 lakh, the single-seat variant of the Hero Xtreme 125R could be a great option. This variant will especially appeal to those who prioritize everyday use and pillion comfort.
