Midnight black colour
The biggest highlight of the new Hero Xtreme 125R Stealth Edition is its new Midnight Black paint scheme. The motorcycle features Pearl Red colour detailing on the fuel tank extension, rear grab rail and Xtreme graphics. Apart from this, the red-coloured alloy wheels distinguish it from the rest of the variants.
At the front, the motorcycle features a small LED tail lamp. The fuel tank has a muscular design that further enhances its sporty look. The split seat, raised tail section and compact rear bodywork give it the look of an aggressive motorcycle.
TFT display and Bluetooth connectivity
The biggest technological upgrade on the Hero Xtreme 125R Stealth Edition is its 4.2-inch colour TFT instrument console.

After connecting the smartphone to the bike, the rider gets features like turn-by-turn navigation, incoming call notifications and SMS alerts. There is also a music control option.
Dual-channel ABS and three riding modes

The engine comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox. This bike uses a diamond frame chassis. The suspension is handled by 37 mm telescopic forks at the front and a 7-step adjustable monoshock at the rear.
