What Is It? | Hero Xtreme 125R FAQ #1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 фев 2024
- The Hero Xtreme 125R is a sporty commuter that presents a premium take on the 125cc class, sort of like the TVS Raider does but it's physically quite a bit larger than the TVS. Three things to keep in mind. First, the Xtreme 125R uses what should be thought of as a new engine, although it did start life as the Glamour 125. It's got a counterbalancer for smoothness and produces about 11bhp and 11Nm, which is what bikes in this class - Raider and Pulsar NS125 do, give or take. Fuel economy, claimed at 63kmpl, is important in this segment, and this is roughly the claim for both of its nearest rivals too. Second, that engine goes into an updated frame that takes after the Xtreme 160R, with Showa suspension, in fact. That gives it light and agile handling and promises to be comfortable too. The tyres are wider than its peers and Hero says they underline both the premium 125 nature of the Xtreme and offer slightly more grip in the turns. Third, the design will polarise people because it's not traditional or classically proportionate. The Hero looks large, especially versus the Raider, and there's some nice details as well as some over the top things, like the tank extensions, or the way the DRLs are placed. Overall though, the physically larger size is probably going to work to Hero's advantage in this class.

I like what TVS and Hero are doing here. The 125cc motorcycles don't need to look like boring commuters everytime. Raider has done pretty well so far, let's see how this one does.
💯♥️
This is hands down the best looking bike upto the 200 cc segment. Amazing design. Scaled down z 1000. Deserves a bigger engine
Thanks for sharing your perspective Rohit!
You can say It's the best looking 125cc bike. It isn't that too. But in it's price, yes it looks fresh and something very different. Upto But 200cc? You forgot Mt 15 and R15.
MT15 still looks better.
If mt15 looks better than this u are fckin blind bro🤡😂@@anshulsharma4500
Karizma?
finally something can take on the raider
But not on performance 😅
@@lokateja_gamingbilkul abhi ek youtuber ne extreme 125r par 120kph ki speed achieve ki hai. So I can say that performance is on par with raider.
@@sandesh9225 that is called reliability not performance. Please choose your words correctly.
@@shivamchaudhary290 no way an 11 bhp machine goes till 120 kmph, speedometer must be way off. That too a 2 valve engine from hero 😂
💯
Hero and TVS is really doing good in making commuter segments attractive and sharp
Hero provides abs and 37mm telescopic suspension in this segment and that's enough to get attention .
Hero and TVs are doing a great job. Now it's time for Honda to shake things up and bring some fresh, sporty design to the commuter segment. A sleek, eye-catching bike with performance to match would definitely turn heads and attract a whole new wave of riders.
We agree!
My buddy just booked one and we will be doing the Ladakh circuit in May. Lol.
Awesome! Have fun!
125 cc pe ladakh😂😂😂😂
@@SnakeRaja2024 it's the rider not the machine. also people have been doing Ladakh circuit in TVS XL 100. There is nothing to laugh about it.
@@inceltatsu9917 ok bro sorry enjoy your ride
Front design is straight from the Gsx s150 available in Indonesian market. But I like it😊
♥️
Design is indeed quite polarizing but if we just forget that part for a moment, i think hero has done a great job in trying to turn a traditionally boring commuter segment bike into a fun to ride premium motorcycle
IDK how the "feel and feedback" in in real life, but here are the numbers
1. Power, TVS = 11.38, hero = 11.55, xtreme 125r has about 1.4% more power than TVS, max power comes at 8250 rpm for hero, as compared to 7500 rpm for tvs
2. Torque, TVS = 11.2 Nm, Hero 10.5 Nm, tvs has about 6.6% more torque, both of them have peak torque at 6000 rpm, so I guess low end performance is better in TVS
3. 0 to 60 TVS = 5.9 seconds, same for hero
one upside I could think of hero is better service, crowded, but stil better than TVS
Thanks for the maths, Abhijeet! We'd rather be riding and experiencing than doing percentages, TBH
@@motorinc yep, that's why I said idk about the feel and feedback in real life, I just wrote the numbers in case someone was interested in that 🫡 (Although, I do hate TVS service with all my heart)
@@motorinc damn 💀
@@AbhijeetKumar-cm3jh amen to that brother
also we need good reliable motorcycles like old hero honda bikes sir, My father's bike Hero honda ambition 135 similar specs like xtreme 125r, today no single spares available for that bike. Old stocks only I'm collecting for bike renovation but still running like a mint bike without losing its charm original sound pick, reliability, and bullet proof durability. But now a days it very rare to get that kind of reliability from Hero Motocorp. I'm not excepting that kind of reliability from raider TVS but Hero should make reliable like older Hero honda Jem one's sir🙏
While the bike appears flawless and comes at an aggressively low price, it raises questions about potential hidden cost-cutting measures that might not be immediately apparent but could pose future issues?
No one can predict future issues, Izhan. But to us, if you cannot trust the brand, you should not be buying their products in the first place, no matter how attractive they are. The worrying is just not worth it.
Exactly I was also thinking the same, at this price range if everything is best then where the compromise has been done
@@funtorium6766 it doens't have to be compromise every time it could be less margin for them rather
When is a full review video coming out for this! However this bike is Hero has come up with an aspirational bike in the 125cc segment. Eagerly waiting for you guys' review on this :D
This thing looks deadly man❤
🔥
Sir tank is made of plastic or metal?
Extreme 125r Looks so handsome❤
Thanks for letting us know!
@@motorinc you're welcome❤️
Looking forward to see a split seat (stock) on splendor soon 😅 ofcourse with a mono shock 😁
Cover the build quality topic too. I test driven the Xtreme 125r and there is a lot of cheap loose plastics and panel gaps. Other than this everything's perfect for 125 cc commuter.
This one would attract young ones but heartly saying that looks like like superbike
What...from where did the xtreme 125r got engine cowl🫢🙄😩
Why won't you make a review on HONDA CB 350 which was launched in December 2023?
Well I'm almost there to get my first bike ( as you've said,with self earned money) Can I consider this one ?
What is the fuel consumption of Hero Xtreme 125r?
Shumi do a comparison video on sporty 125cc bikes like ns125,raider, Xtreme 125r.
Request noted Harsha!
This type of design should launched with bigger engines like 400cc or 200cc with improved looks..btw best looking moto
Thanks for letting us know Shaurya!
We need a comparo on meteor 350 and mavrick 440 ❤
Request noted!
@@motorinc Big fan of your work. I am desperately waiting for your verdict between them 😍
Nice design should lauch 250 cc bike with same design
More people would buy extreme 160 with this design.
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
I was hoping if you could review TVS RTR 310 before i mame a purchase.
No word from TVS on test bikes for us yet, Ashish 🤷🏽♂️
looks good, wish they used 160R s engine
Thanks for letting us know Ramthang!
Still waiting for the Ertiga review 🥲
As soon as we can!
still a good take by hero
It's actually quicker than raider I feel how I don't know. It's feel closer to fz v2
😁😁having a same headlight unit of My maestro😅😅
🤣
up hill with pillion... Engine struggle??
TVS really forces other brands to step up their game.
Indeed. Sometimes.
Raider lacks comfort on long rides, Little sporty handle and short pillion seat,
And hero has given a good product for a daily ride.
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Hey, should i buy this bike, i need a commuter for a me and and my father, we already have a splendor but i want him to use a bike with abs for some sort of protection and ill also enjoy the sporty nature of this. Do you recommend this??? Are there any major issue???
Or any other recommendation??
This is by miles the best option it is agile and light,quick ,60 plus mileage easily even without engine break in @@whatareyoudoingaditya
But hero new vertical engine's are not well refined it has full of vibrations after mid range. Earlier hero horizontal engine are best in class for long term use . But now i don't believe that it will give long life reliability 😑😑🥱 hero is improving in their designs but they are not providing long term using engine's. It will hardly last 3,4 year.
Thanks for sharing your perspective GG! The 125R was pretty smooth though. We'll find out more when we test it properly
In the case of Xtreme 160r timing chains have to be replaced quite often. My friend had 4 changes within 20K Km although it's under warranty.
What does the R stands for in xpreme 125r?? 🤔🤔
Race?
Racist
@@satishteja5415💀💀💀
We'll have to ask Hero!
Same as what r in zmr stands for 💀
Not 11 tourqe... only 10.5 nm tourqe
NS 125 or Extreme 125r. Which one will you suggest me sir ???
Hey Kucchbhii! Please do wait for us to test the Extreme first. This was a very short ride -- please do see the linked video
Hero looks like triumph street triple in 144p 😅
🤣
How is pillion comfort,can i buy this bike for family purpose
Can you please make a video letting us know about pillion comfort as well
@@pavangurijala1312Pilion comfort is much better on the raider. As it can be used as family bike but its really hard to say for this one though.
Just put black tape over the drl's and it instantly improves the face of the bike. At least for me
Thanks for letting us know!
Looks like a shark
♥️
11bhp and 11nm torque is a flat lie by this Chacha 😅
Extreme 125r mileage koi correct bta skta h kiya toh plz koi correct btaado bro 😢
50-60kmph
@@Tanvir_x3 bro mai isme delivery ka kaam krskta hu kiya aapke thought se
Streetfighter V4s ultra pro max
🤣
Rear disc kaha hai 😅
Uska fayda kidhar hai?
@@motorinc looks enhance karta hai na
I personally don't like the sporty 125s that much. These bikes were supposed to be boring and functional. Like the Honda shine or passion pro, where you can have your slightly obese friend sit behind you while holding a gas cylinder all while 5 carry bags full of vegetables are hanging from the back rest.
Or sometimes 3 friends tripling on the splendor going down the village road to the canal side, to just hang out and skip stones...
Thanks for letting us know! All the scenarios you discuss are unsafe, Manoj. We would never even consider them as things you should do on a bike _at all._
Raider ko saf kr degi ye 😂
Thanks for letting us know!
Oy Honda, learn something.
(Worst looking 125s in the segment are from Honda 🤦♂️)
Back side look not good looking
I would rather buy a second hand R15 V2 than this so called sports commuters
Thanks for letting us know!
Didn't like the design..
Thanks for letting us know Govind!
very ugly design
Ye kya bawasir bana diyo be😂
