Hero Xoom 160 is equipped with a new 156 cc engine producing a maximum power output of 14.6 bhp and 14 Nm of peak torque
Hero MotoCorp has announced that the customer deliveries of its flagship scooter, the Xoom 160, will begin this month in India. The Xoom 160 made its debut at the EICMA 2024 show in Milan, Italy alongside the Xoom 125R in its near production firm before gracing Indian enthusiasts at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo earlier this year in Delhi.
It was launched there for a price tag of Rs. 1,48,500 (ex-showroom). The deliveries were expected to commence in the weeks following its launch but it did not materialise. Finally, the Xoom 160 is set to reach buyers as Hero is preparing to hand over the keys to consumers. The adventure-styled maxi scooter comes equipped with a new 156 cc engine.
The single-cylinder fuel-injected liquid-cooled powertrain is good enough to produce a maximum power output of 14.6 bhp and 14 Nm of peak torque and is coupled with a CVT transmission. The equipment list comprises all-LED lighting, an all-digital instrument console with turn-by-turn navigation, keyless ignition and a single-channel ABS system as a standard fitment.

The Hero Xoom 160 competes with the similarly priced Yamaha Aerox 155 and the recently launched TVS Ntorq 150 which carries a price tag of Rs. 1.19 lakh (ex-showroom, introductory) for the base trim. The biggest and most feature-loaded scooter yet from the homegrown brand gets a muscular design philosophy.
Some of the highlights are a tall windscreen, block-pattern tyres and aggressive body panels. At 142 kg kerb weight and a seat height of 787 mm, the scooter rides on 14-inch alloy wheels and features a front disc brake with single-channel ABS, rear drum brake, telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers.
