Hero’s sporty 110cc scooter is here! Joining the Maestro Edge 110 and the Pleasure+ that are targetted at other niches within the ever-growing 110cc space. The Hero Xoom though is the sportiest of the three siblings and is targetted square at the younger spectrum of the segment, as you can probably tell by the bright colour and the sharp, edgy and angular design. We’ve finally had some time in the saddle, and these are our thoughts on Hero’s sportiest new 110cc scooter.
The Hero Xoom is an eye-catching scooter, the sharp lines on the bodywork, and bright paint schemes, maybe a little busy visually for the older generation, but it’s exactly right for the audience that Hero has in mind for it. There are LED projector headlamps with the H-shaped LED DRL paired with an LED DRL at the back, with standard halogen indicators integrated into the cowl. There’s even a small flyscreen that adds to the sporty appeal of the Xoom.
The flanks on a scooter are usually minimal, but on the Xoom, Hero has gone above and beyond to add sporty details that add to the Xoom’s presence. One of the most standout details in my opinion is the flush rear grab handle that’s integrates into the bodywork, and a little design element that looks like a diffuser. The bodywork and panels do look very premium from far away but a closer look does reveal some modicum of cost-cutting like the quality of plastic used on the other side of the fairing and even some of the button cubes on the switch gear that don’t really allign with the premium-ness that the Xoom exudes from afar.
