Looks-wise, the best bike in the 125cc segment, and the mileage is very good at 50 kmpl. Riding comfort is good for daily city usage, and the servicing cost is very low. It is a low-maintenance bike with good looks. I have done very long trips of about 250–300 km in one stretch, and the performance was very good, that too in mountain areas.Read More
This is all ok with comfort, did not face any problem and the engine of 125cc is the best, enjoy the fast speed and give the feel of super bike. This is the best bike in terms of performance at the highways and best for the off roading. I did't face any problem in my entire 2 years of experience. I love hero Xtreme 125R.Read More
