Hero MotoCorp has started accepting bookings for its new premium maxi-scooter, the Xoom 160, which carries a price tag of Rs 1.49 lakh (ex-showroom). First revealed at the Bharat Mobility Expo in early 2025, the scooter features an adventure-style design paired with a 156cc liquid-cooled engine producing roughly 14.6bhp and 14Nm of torque.
