Hero MotoCorp has expanded its popular commuter lineup by launching the Hero Xtreme 125R Single Seat Variant in India. Priced at ₹1 lakh (ex-showroom), this new version offers a fresh choice for buyers who prefer a unified single-seat design over the previously available split-seat option. With this update, Hero aims to give customers more flexibility while keeping the bike stylish, practical, and affordable.
Available in Three Variants
With the new update, the Hero Xtreme 125R is now offered in three different variants. The base IBS version is the most budget-friendly, priced at ₹98,425 (ex-showroom). The Split Seat ABS version comes in at ₹1.02 lakh (ex-showroom), targeting riders who value sportier looks and enhanced safety.
The newly launched Single Seat Variant is placed right in between at ₹1 lakh (ex-showroom), making it a balanced choice for those who want a sporty yet cleaner design with solid safety features. This wider range ensures that buyers can choose a model that fits both their needs and their budget.
Engine and Performance
At the heart of the Xtreme 125R is a 124.7cc engine paired with a 5-speed gearbox. This engine delivers 11.5HP of power and 10.5Nm of torque, striking a good balance between performance and efficiency.
The same powertrain has also been used in the Hero Glamour X, which proves the company’s confidence in its reliability. Whether for city commutes or occasional highway rides, the bike provides a smooth experience with enough power to handle daily needs. Designed with young riders in mind, the bike blends performance with practicality.
Features, Safety, and Technology
The Xtreme 125R doesn’t compromise when it comes to modern features. It comes equipped with a full LED setup, including the headlamp, tail lamp, and turn indicators. A Bluetooth-enabled digital instrument cluster keeps riders connected and informed.
On the safety front, it is one of the few bikes in its segment to offer single-channel ABS. Suspension duties are handled by 37mm front forks and a hydraulic monoshock at the rear, ensuring stability and comfort. Braking power comes from a 240mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum. The bike rides on 90/90-17 front and 120/80-17 rear tyres, giving it a confident road presence.

Design and Style
Hero has designed the Xtreme 125R to appeal especially to young riders and college students. The single-seat layout gives the bike a more sporty and unified design, compared to the split-seat version. Sleek graphics, sharp body lines, LED lighting, and new color options make it stand out in the crowded 125cc segment.
By offering both comfort and style, Hero has created a bike that doesn’t just serve as daily transport but also reflects the personality of its rider. Competing against strong rivals like the Honda Shine, Bajaj Pulsar 125, and TVS Raider, the Xtreme 125R has now become an even more attractive option.
Final Thoughts
The launch of the Hero Xtreme 125R Single Seat Variant strengthens Hero’s position in the competitive 125cc category. With three variants, modern features, reliable performance, and youthful styling, it caters to a wide range of riders. Priced at ₹1 lakh, the single-seat version offers a blend of comfort, safety, and sporty looks, making it one of the most promising choices in its class for 2025.
