Hero Xoom 125 Adventure Design Patent
Hero MotoCorp has been investing heavily on its premium product lineup expansion and is creating a dedicated premium showroom network under Premia name. Xoom 125 does not fall under the Premia showrooms, unfortunately and is still sold alongside other budget commuters like Splendor, HF, Glamour and Passion, among others.
These regular dealerships are more willing to sell a Splendor to rural audiences and Xoom 125 is yet to get the proper love it deserves. Hero might be giving that love to this underrated scooter in the form of an ADV-style rugged makeover inspired by Dakar Rally off-road motorcycles. Design patents of this rugged version of Xoom 125 have been leaked.

At 2023 EICMA Show held in Milan, Hero MotoCorp showcased two new scooters for the first time, flexing their design and engineering muscle. These were Xoom 125 and Xoom 160 and both of them have now been launched in India. Just a year later, an ADV version of both these scooters at 2024 EICMA Show, called Xoom 125 Adventure Concept and Xoom 160 Adventure Concept.

Now, Xoom 125 Adventure Concept has been patented in the country and the design patents have been leaked online. We can see a rugged design language in these design patents and looks almost identical to the Xoom 125 Adventure Concept. It looks production ready as well and we hope it launches soon.

In the concept, Hero used their Dakar Rally livery, which the company reserves to special vehicles like Xpulse 200 Pro. White base paint and contrasting Red, Black and Grey highlights. There are numbering on the body work too, like in a racing machine.

What does it get extra?
On top of the standard Xoom 125, this just patented Adventure version gets a host of add-ons. Most notable of them include a robust-looking crash guard finished in bright Red that protects the apron area and side body in the showcased concept and only apron area in leaked patents. Front fender is removed in favour of a beak and crash guards go under this beak, which is a nice touch.

We can also see knobby tyres and the same 14-inch size alloy wheels as standard model. There are additional protective claddings on Xoom 125 Adventure and we can see the addition of fog lights with Hero’s cornering function (seen only in Xoom 110). Also notable is the knuckle guard, which standard model does not get.
Xoom 125 Adventure Concept
Mechanically, Hero Xoom 125 Adventure is expected to be the same, powered by a 124cc air-cooled engine with around 10 PS of peak power and 10.4 Nm of peak torque. All LED headlights, swipe-style LED indicators, full digital cluster with Bluetooth, navigation and other notable features may be carried over too.
