Must buy for this price segment
Very good for city use and very good quality of accelerator and brakes. it has a nice and good seat quality. It comes with wide tyres which gives it a good grip on the road and help to prevent from falling from the bike. The posture can be more good but it can be manageable for longer rides. And it's sound is also good.

Best bike in this price range best features in this bike Overall, while the Hero Xtreme 125R has its flaws, it's still a solid choice for anyone looking for an affordable and stylish commuter bike. With a few improvements in build quality and fuel efficiency, it could truly shine in its segment. Best bike in this budget for the 125 cc segment. The mileage is 60+ km.
