Hero MotoCorp has lined up several motorcycle launches this year, some of which were showcased either at EICMA or other events. These five two-wheelers, which include motorcycles and scooters, have either seen massive updates or are entirely new. Here are the five motorcycles and scooters Hero has lined up for this year.
Hero Xpulse 210
The Xpulse 210 is probably one of the most awaited launches for 2025, after it was showcased at EICMA. The Xpulse became popular with enthusiasts wanting a capable, light off-roader and the motorcycle hit the right spot. However, one of the biggest weak spots of the Xpulse was its underpowered engine and with the introduction of the new 210, Hero has addressed that with a 25bhp liquid-cooled motor from the Karizma XMR. The upcoming Xpulse 210 not only makes more power, but also gets a 6-speed gearbox to make it more touring-friendly.
Hero Karizma XMR 250
Hero tried the nostalgia route with its fully-faired motorcycle – the Karizma – by bringing back a popular name from the past. However, sales did not meet expectations and Hero was quick to address this by unveiling the updated version at EICMA, the Karizma XMR 250. Powered by a new 250cc liquid-cooled engine mated to a 6-sped gearbox, the new Hero Karizma XMR 250 looks sharper and more aggressive.
Hero Xtreme 250R
Every faired motorcycle needs a naked version and that’s what the Xtreme 250R is about. Banking on a brand name that has seen a lot of popularity, the Xtreme 250R follows the same mantra as the Xtreme 125R and the 160R. Powered by the new 250cc liquid-cooled engine as the Karizma XMR 250, the Xtreme 250R is ready to take the battle to KTM’s doorstep.
Hero Destini 125
The Hero Destini was unveiled last year and we have ridden it. It is a sensible family scooter with adequate performance and good looks. Having been updated extensively compared to the older version, the new Destini 125 gets a host of features and a lot of practicality. Set to rival the TVS Jupiter 125, Activa 125, and Suzuki Access 125, Hero is expected to announce the prices at the upcoming Bharat Mobility Expo.
Hero Xoom
Under the name ‘Xoom’, Hero is expected to launch two scooters — a 125cc and a more powerful 160cc. Both scooters were showcased earlier and the Xoom 160 is sure to gain a lot of attention with its styling. With its tall windscreen, large tyres and chunky suspension, the Xoom 160 looks ready for adventure and will be a great product to start a new segment.
