The Adventure Begins: Hero Xoom 160 Deliveries Finally Kick Off
The long-awaited Hero Xoom 160 is finally hitting the streets, with customer deliveries officially commencing in September 2025. After months of anticipation since its grand unveiling at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in January 2025, Hero’s flagship adventure maxi-scooter is set to redefine the premium scooter segment in India.
Priced at an aggressive ₹1.48 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the Xoom 160 is a direct challenger to the Yamaha Aerox 155, and it’s poised to shake up the market with its unique blend of adventure-ready performance and urban practicality.
A Bumpy Road to a Smooth Ride: The Delivery Timeline
The journey of the Xoom 160 from showroom to street has been a bit of a rollercoaster. While bookings opened in February 2025 with an initial delivery promise of March, production and strategic delays pushed the timeline to September. However, Hero MotoCorp’s decision to space out its launches and open fresh bookings in July has ensured a smooth and well-managed delivery process.
Power and Performance: The Heart of the Adventure
The Xoom 160 is powered by a brand-new 156cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that churns out an impressive 14.6 bhp and 14 Nm of torque. This, combined with a CVT automatic transmission, promises a thrilling and responsive ride, whether you’re navigating city traffic or exploring winding country roads. And with an ARAI-claimed fuel efficiency of 40-41 kmpl, the Xoom 160 is as economical as it is exciting.
