Hero Xoom 110

The Xoom makes use of the same 110cc engine that Hero uses in other scooters. However, expectedly, the motor has been tuned slightly differently. It makes peak power of 8.15 bhp and max torque of 8.70 Nm. While power is more than Dio, Activa and Jupiter, torque of the Xoom is the lowest even if by a tiny margin. During our riding stint it was apparent that the Xoom does offer peppy performance. Twist the throttle and it does zip ahead in traffic easily. Engine isn’t the most smoothest around though with some vibrations coming in at lower speeds. That said, once you get going in traffic, little vibrations do iron out. Twist the throttle and the Xoom hits 80 km/h pretty quick with another 5-10km/h possible if the road perits. Hero claims the Xoom is one of the most fuel efficient scooters in the segment. It also comes with i3S start stop tech wherein the engine shuts off at red-lights / when you stop the scooter. Twisting the throttle again will wake up the engine again : all this happens in a very smooth manner. 

The Xoom 110 is offered in three versions of LX, VX and ZX. The base Xoom LX comes with steel wheels, LED headlamp, H shaped LED tail lamp, semi digital speedometer console, mileage indicator and just one colour option. The mid version Xoom VX additionally offers diamong cut alloy wheels, full digital speedometer console, i3S technology, wider rear tyre, front USB charger, boot light and 3 colour options. The top end ZX further adds a front disc brake, Hero’s intelligent cornering light, Bluetooth connectivity and as many as four colour options. Overall, the Hero Xoom 110 is pretty loaded for the segment. 

We rode the new Hero Xoom 110 in a mix of city traffic and open roads. The larger 12-inch wheels both at the front and rear do help a lot in making this feel secure and planted. The telescopic front forks and off-set monoshock at the rear have been picked up from the Maestro and Pleasure scooters but tuned differently for the Xoom. The ride quality is slightly on the firmer side, keeping up with its sporty design. This firm ride aids when riding with a pillion - the suspension aids confidence around corners / curves and likewise, at higher speeds. In traffic, it is easy to close in on gaps and the riding posture felt comfortable. The floor board is also big which means riders with large shoes / boots will not have an issue.
