THE SPORTY XTREME 125R IS THE LATEST PRODUCT to roll out of the Hero MotoCorp assembly line. It is positioned below its elder sibling, the Xtreme 160R. With its aggressive front end and a clutter-free rear that has a neat tyre-hugger, the bike looks good. Bits like the thoughtfully designed sari-guard in the shape of a semi-circle stand out. This bike is powered by a 125-cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine capable of 11.4 hp at 8,250 rpm and a peak torque of 10.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm and it is paired with a five-speed gearbox.
The little Xtreme comes with proper equipment such as an LCD instrument cluster that has been borrowed from its bigger sibling, one that is laid out in a neat manner and makes you appreciate it every time you take a quick look at things. The bike also gets LED lighting all round, including blinkers, which goes well with the modern theme. The headlight looks sleek and sharp, although we did not get an opportunity to test it in the dark. The tail-light comes with a smoked finish and sort of lurks under the rear cowl. As for the brakes, a 276-millimetre disc takes care of the front while the rear is handled by a 130-mm drum. There is single-channel ABS and both the front and rear brakes have adequate bite. The beefy fuel-tank has a capacity of 10 litres and is painted in two-tone with multiple panels adding to the aggressiveness of the bike.
