Hero MotoCorp has started nationwide deliveries of the new Xoom 110 scooter. Launched in India on January 30, 2023, the new Hero Xoom is the latest sports scooter from the manufacturer in the market. This is also the brand’s third launch in the 110 cc segment, which is said to still account for over 63% of the total scooter market share.
Hero Xoom 110 adopts H-shaped LED daytime running lights and projection lens-type LED headlights, highlighting the sporty style, and the H-shaped taillights also make it stand out from the crowd. The biggest feature update, though, is the segment priority cornering lights on the scooter. This makes the Xoom the first and only 110 cc scooter in the world to be equipped with cornering lights, a feature more commonly found on premium motorcycles. We recently rode the Hero Xoom, and you can check out our review of the scooter and its capabilities below.

Power, says Hero, comes from an updated 109 cc single-cylinder fuel-injected engine tuned for 8 bhp and 8.7 Nm of peak torque, mated to a CVT setup. The scooter Hero Xoom weighs 109 kg and has telescoping front forks and a single shock absorber at the rear.price from ¥68,599 for the base LX variant, rising to ¥76,699 for the top-spec ZX variant. All prices are ex-showroom Delhi.
The Hero Xoom competes primarily with the Honda Dio in this segment, but will also compete with the Honda Activa 6G and TVS Jupiter 110 models. The Xoom aims to bring some freshness to a segment whose offerings have been largely conservative. That said, the company is betting that existing demand for gasoline-powered scooters will sustain sales despite the emergence of electric scooters in the space. The Xoom is priced competitively, which does give it an edge over the competition.
