Hero MotoCorp, the leading two-wheeler manufacturer in the country, has launched a brand-new scooter in India. The new Hero Xoom 110 has made its way to the Indian market with a starting price of Rs 68,599 (ex-showroom) for the base LX variant, whereas the VX and the ZX variants cost Rs 71,799 and Rs 76,699 (ex-showroom), respectively. The bookings for the scooter are going to commence from 1st February. After the Pleasure Plus and the Maestro Edge, the Hero Maestro Xoom, is the automaker's third 110cc gearless scooter in the lineup. Hero MotoCorp gave its dealers a first look at the scooter in September of last year at a private event where it showcased some of the model's features and styling. Both the invitation for the current launch event and photos from the September event already indicated that the Maestro Xoom will look very different from its sibling models. All set to compete in the 110cc market, the new Hero Maestro Xoom includes a number of upgrades and new features over the standard model. Let us have a quick look at what the model offers in terms of performance, styling, features, and more.

The all-new Hero Maestro Xoom 110 shares the same mechanical foundation as other 110cc Maestro Edge variants. It is propelled by a 110.9cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine with a CVT that produces 8.04bhp of maximum power at 7,500rpm and 8.75Nm of peak torque at 5,500rpm. Notably, Hero MotoCorp also features its patented i3S technology in this gearless scooter. According to the manufacturer, this cutting-edge technology will improve the fuel efficiency of the Maestro Xoom 110. The scooter also has a dedicated button located on the handlebar that can be used to turn it on.
The new Hero Maestro Xoom is the top-of-the-line 110cc Maestro variant with the most features. Since the Maestro Edge's headlamp is mounted on the handlebar fairing, the Maestro Zoom's headlamp now has a revised front apron with the headlamp placed low on the apron. Additionally, the scooter has a two-tone paint job, and the indicators are housed in the fairing on the handlebar. The headlamp is an LED component with an H-pattern LED DRL. A digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity will also be available. Hero is offering the Maestro Xoom in a variety of vibrant colours, and it will ride on 12-inch wheels. The suspension system of the scooter features telescopic forks, a monoshock, and a disc-drum braking system.
Commenting on the launch, Ranjivjit Singh, Chief Growth Officer (CGO), Hero MotoCorp, said, “Over the years, Hero MotoCorp has introduced iconic brands that have captivated the nation and continue to enjoy a strong consumer connect. With the unmatched style and performance of Hero Xoom, we are turning a new leaf in our journey to redefine the scooter segment. The new Hero XOOM is an outcome of our deep understanding of the needs of young India & our commitment to introduce future-oriented technologies which will help strengthen our scooter portfolio. The ones who are looking for an exciting ride, and are at the forefront of innovation will definitely be drawn to the dynamic character of the Hero Xoom.”
