Well balanced performance
The raider gives a well balanced performance while boosting the comfort the rider it’s really easy to handle. Its has good controlling. And on the bumpy roads it makes sure that the rider is comfortable. The only concern is that it’s middle stand hits on the speed brakers. If that problem is solved its a really good bike

Review for Hero Xtreame 125R
Seat accomodation was worst and engine heating issues arrived within 7 days of bought, the minor issue was clutch movement was very tight even after servicing , if we start and just put a side for 1 min the whole engine gets over heated and starts white smoke. The breathing of engine was nice at last

My experience of Hero Xtreme 125R bike
Hero Xtreme 125 r is a good bike according to my perspective with premium features in reasonable price with comfortablility, great performance and sporty look. I also have this bike with ABS varient . Sales after service provided by hero is good but time taken,so after all the riding experience of mine I would suggest that you can also prefer this bike in 125 cc segment.

Review of bike
I had a good experience with xtreme 125r. company claim mileage is 66kmpl but it gives on average 55- 60 kmpl . Best bikes for city rides but it lacks power on the highway. Its the best bike for beginners who are just starting to ride a bike . Best affordable 125cc bike . It could be uncomfortable for pillion rider because of split seat.
