Hero MotoCorp, one of India’s leading motorcycle manufacturers, has been caught testing a new 125cc bike, providing enthusiasts with a glimpse of what’s to come. From the spy images, it is evident that Hero is developing a 125cc premium motorcycle, positioning it to compete with the likes of the TVS Raider and Pulsar 125.
Hero 125cc bike looks
In terms of aesthetics, the test bike showcases a muscular design approach, setting it apart from the typical 125cc commuter bikes in the market. The motorcycle exudes a sense of strength and solidity, appealing to the eyes of onlookers.
Targeting younger riders, Hero’s new 125cc or Xtreme 125 premium motorcycle features a wide tank that seamlessly integrates with the seat. The seat itself adopts a split-style design, adding a touch of sportiness to the overall appearance. Additionally, shrouds on the tank enhance the bike’s visual appeal, further contributing to its distinctiveness.
The spy images also reveal the presence of LED lighting technology, including the headlight, tail light, and indicators. The handlebar follows a traditional single-piece design, while a digital instrument cluster adds a modern touch to the bike’s cockpit.

While exact details about the powertrain are yet to be disclosed, it is expected that the engine will be mated to a 5-speed gearbox, ensuring smooth and efficient power delivery. Braking duties are likely to be managed by a disc brake at the front and a drum unit at the rear, providing reliable stopping power.
