As reported online, Hero was earlier set to start the deliveries of the Xoom 160 in April 2025. However, due to internal reasons, the first batch of scooters has not been delivered yet. Moreover, the dealerships were earlier accepting the bookings, which have now been halted until the scooter starts getting delivered to the dealerships. Hero is likely to begin the deliveries of it by August 2025. Having said that, the Jaipur-based company seems to be focusing on its other prominent models, including the recently launched Xpulse 210, Xtreme 250R, and Xtreme 125R. Mind you, the Xoom 160 was launched at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 earlier this year. It is the flagship scooter model of Hero, which is based on a maxi scooter design philosophy. It is powered by a 156cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, developing 14.6 bhp of peak power and 14 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a smooth CVT automatic gearbox. Meanwhile, the features include LED lights, keyless engine start/stop, TFT console, Bluetooth connectivity, mobile charging, navigation support, and more. Unlike the other Hero two-wheeler models, the flagship Xoom 160 will be exclusively sold through the Hero Premia dealerships. As reported late in 2024, there are 40 Premia dealerships across 35 major cities, and Hero plans to expand it further. Our verdict The demand for maxi scooters in India is low as it is a niche segment. But, the Hero Xoom 160 has a strong competitor ahead, which is the Yamaha Aerox 155. Once the deliveries of the Xoom 160 start, the real-world performance stats of the scooter will surface.
