GET SET XOOM

The current crop of gearless scooters are flooded with a greater variety of designs and features than your average economy airline seat. And that's bound to happen, since scooters are becoming a preferred mode of personal transport on two-wheels, when compared to motorcycles. It is no surprise, then, that the scooter market is growing exponentially, and every two-wheeler brand wants a piece of that profitable pie. That said, Hero MotoCorp has brought the Xoom 110 to the table, a sporty and funky-looking scooter, and we'll try to find out whether it deserves your attention through some quick questions.

What is it?

The first of proper sporty-looking scooters from Hero to get a very appealing design. Until now, the gearless scooters rolling out of Hero have been largely commuter-centric and designed to cater to multiple types of buyers, rather than a specific one. Thankfully, that isn't the case with the Xoom. Designed keeping Gen Z in mind, I have to admit that Hero has done a fantastic job at sculpting such a good-looking scooter. Every panel on the Xoom, from the front apron to the side panels, have been designed with one singular thought. Even the split-type diamond-cut alloy wheels, along with the chunky-looking exhaust, go perfectly with the sporty attributes of the scooter. Besides the striking Sports Red livery as seen in these images, Hero also offers the Xoom with the choice of three other attractive shades of blue, pearl white, and matte orange.
