Hi friends, hope you are doing good today. You know sometimes we all want a scooter that is not just for daily use but also feels premium and powerful like a bike. Well, Hero has launched something exciting – the Hero Xoom 160. This is not your regular scooter; it is more like a maxi-scooter that gives you comfort, style, and performance together.
Bold and Stylish Design
So brother, let’s first talk about how it looks. The Hero Xoom 160 has a bold design. At first glance, it doesn’t even look like a normal scooter, it looks bigger and sportier.
It comes in colours like Matte Black, White, and Red. I personally like Matte Black because it gives a classy vibe, while Red is for people who like energy and sporty style. White, on the other hand, feels modern and clean.
Do you know its very special or unique? The front design with big LED headlamp and tall windscreen makes it look premium, almost like those international maxi-scooters you see in foreign countries.
Engine and Performance
Now let’s know something more interesting about the engine. The Hero Xoom 160 comes with a 156cc liquid-cooled engine. It produces around 14 bhp of power and 13.7 Nm torque.
That means it has enough punch for highway rides and also smooth performance in city traffic. Since it has CVT automatic transmission, you don’t need to worry about gears – just twist the throttle and go.
From my point of view, this engine is perfect for people like me who sometimes travel within the city and sometimes go out on longer rides. A normal 110cc scooter struggles at high speed, but this one will cruise comfortably.
Features and Technology
So friend, let’s check out the features. This scooter is loaded with technology:
- Fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth
- Turn-by-turn navigation (super useful when you don’t know the roads)
- LED headlamp and tail lamp for premium look
- USB charging port for mobile
- Front disc brake with ABS for safety
- Large windscreen to protect from wind
Do you know its very special or unique? The ABS in this scooter makes it much safer, especially when you ride in the rain or on slippery roads.
Comfort and Ride Quality
So brother, comfort is something very important in daily use. The Hero Xoom 160 has broad seats, good leg space, and soft suspension. The front telescopic suspension and rear mono-shock absorb bumps very well.
In our town, some roads are broken and full of potholes. A scooter like this will give a smooth ride without making you tired. Even if you ride 30–40 km daily, you will still feel relaxed.
Storage and Practical Use
Another thing is storage. The under-seat storage is large enough to keep a helmet or groceries. For people like me, sometimes after office I go to the market, and carrying bags on the handle is always a problem. But in this scooter, you can keep it inside easily.
Price in Our Town
Now let’s talk about money, because price always matters. The Hero Xoom 160 is expected to cost around ₹1.45 lakh to ₹1.60 lakh (ex-showroom).

In our town, the on-road price will be around ₹1.70 lakh including RTO and insurance. If you compare it with Yamaha Aerox 155 or Aprilia scooters, then this price is quite reasonable because Hero is giving good features at a fair price.
Real Life Example
Let me share a small story. My cousin travels daily from our town to a nearby city for his job, around 25 km one way. He was using a 125cc scooter but on highways it always felt underpowered. When I told him about the Xoom 160, he said this scooter looks perfect for his travel – powerful engine, big seat for comfort, and storage for his office bag.
This is how practical it can be in real life for many people.
Final Thoughts
So friend, after knowing all the features and price, I feel the Hero Xoom 160 is a very strong option for anyone looking for a scooter that is stylish, powerful, and modern.
It is not just a scooter, it feels like a bridge between a bike and a scooter. Whether you are a college student, office worker, or someone who enjoys long rides, the Xoom 160 can fit perfectly in your lifestyle.
If you are planning to buy a new two-wheeler, do check this scooter once. I’m sure it will impress you just like it impressed me.
