Hero Xtreme 125R Single-seat Variant Launched in India at Rs 1 Lakh

Hero MotoCorp has introduced a single-seat variant of the Xtreme 125R in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1 lakh. This comes after the company introduced Glamour X with segment-first features such as cruise control and ride-by-wire. The Xtreme 125R Single-seat version slots above the split-seat IBS variant, priced at Rs 98,425, and below the top-end split-seat ABS variant, priced at Rs 1.02 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom. The new variant offers improved seating comfort for the rider and pillion, and competes directly against the single-seat version of the TVS Raider, which is available at a lower price of Rs 93,865. Other than the seat configuration, the Hero bike remains the same.
