Hero Xtreme 125R 2025 Review : The Hero Xtreme 125R for 2025 promises to be ahead in terms of sporty styling, peppy performance, and mileage while being easy on the wallet. Built for young riders and daily commuters that simply want the fun part of riding without cash crunches, this new offering is somewhere between ₹92,000 and ₹98,000 (ex-showroom). It now has a range of new colors along with new graphic themes while carrying the legacy of being the best-value-for-money 125cc offering.
Price, Mileage & Performance
The 124.7cc air-cooled engine of the Xtreme 125R produces approximately 11.6 PS and 10.8 Nm of torque, making it a fine balancing act in terms of spirited riding and good-on-mileage performance. Coupled with the 5-speed gearbox, which is light and user-friendly, the Xtreme makes a fine crosser for city rides. Hero claims mileage over 65 km/l, while the real owner numbers are roughly around 60 to 70 km/l, even in a mixed traffic situation. Acceleration figures of 0 to 60 km/h in about six seconds should be quick enough for any city gap or manoeuvre on highway overtaking.
Design & Comfort
Aerodynamic front cowling, sharp tank extensions, and dual-tone paint options distinguish this bike. The appeal is modern and sporty, deeply in tune with this young generation of riders. The riding position is upright and comfortable, with a pillion seat that is slightly stepped-up to provide good comfort over short and medium rides for two.
Ride Quality & Handling
The setup of the suspension is a good balance between comfort and performance. The telescopic fork at the front and adjustable mono-shock at the rear absorb small bumps well and keep it smooth when the road surface gets a little rough. Coming to the tyres, 17-inches are a good size for grip within the city, and braking is safe and predictable with a disc at the front and drum at the rear. The bike is nimble during low speeds but feels surprisingly stable around the 90-100 kmph mark.
Features & Daily Usability
The newer variants are now equipped with LED headlamps and tail-lamps, and a semi-digital instrument console with a fuel gauge, RPM meter, and trip meter. While lacking Bluetooth or app-connection features, it has a welcome touch for the segment: a USB charging port. Weighing just 123 kg, the lightweight chassis is convenient for parking and commuting in crowded streets.
Hero Xtreme 125R 2025 has the right set of parameters for great styling, being economical, and good fuel efficiency. Not loaded with high-end tech, yet balances it with low maintenance, great real-world efficiency in mileage terms, and rider-friendly ergonomics. In other words, a perfect choice for anyone in the market seeking a smart and fun daily commuter offering under ₹1 lakh.
