In addition, the new Xoom 125 also has a couple of segment-first features like sequential LED turn indicators and an illuminated start switch, both exclusive to the more premium ZX variant. Additional features of the Xoom 125 include turn-by-turn navigation, front storage, a USB charging port, machined alloy wheels and a boot lamp, all restricted to the ZX variant.
Both variants of the Hero Xoom 125 are available in Metallic Turbo Blue and Matte Storm Grey colour choices as standard, with the ZX variant also being offered with Matte Neon Lime and Inferno Red colour schemes.

Verdict
Filling the shoes of the now-defunct Maestro Edge 125, the new Hero Xoom 125 follows a sportier approach than the former. With a new performance-oriented engine and several trendy features, the new Xoom 125 should give a tough rivalry to the established sporty 125cc scooters like TVS Ntorq 125, Suzuki Avenis 125, Aprilia SR 125, Honda Dio 125 and Yamaha RayZR 125 FI Hybrid.
