We had a short spin astride the Hero Xoom, the latest sporty 110-cc scooter to enter the Indian market

Urban Buddy

THE XOOM IS A SCOOTER THAT HERO MOTOCORP have launched to appeal to the youth. It gets sharp styling and the first element you notice is the good-looking X-shaped LED DRL at the front. The rear of the scooter has been neatly designed with the grab-rails integrated into the rear panels, thus keeping the design as neat as possible. The rear LED light is also X-shaped. This scooter is quite compact and the flat seat is comfortable. It is easily accessible for short riders, although some of the taller riders did find their knees too close to the front end and the floorboard was a little too small for their liking. This is an easily manoeuvrable scooter with a kerb weight of 109 kilograms.
