Hero Xtreme 125R TFT
The newly-launched Hero Xtreme 125R Stealth Edition gets an understated black shade as its base; the red alloy wheels elevate its sporty stance. The tank shrouds further elevates its character, giving the sporty commuter a good balance between design and practicality.
It is powered by a 125 cc air-cooled engine, which pushes 11.4 PS and 10.5 Nm. The motor is paired to a 5-speed gearbox. The bike is suspended on a telescopic fork with a rear monoshock at the back. Braking hardware includes disc brakes at both ends.
In terms of features, the bike gets a 4.2-inch TFT display, which enables connectivity features such as mobile connectivity, call/SMS and turn-by-turn navigation. The TFT display looks minimal and easy to read. Also, the sporty commuter gets a cruise control, which comes in handy while riding long distances.
The bike gets a ride-by-wire throttle, which enables 3 ride modes: Rain, Road, and Sport; these modes alter the throttle response of the bike according to the mode selected. Additionally, the bike gets a TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System), which is a very convenient feature that helps you monitor real-time air pressure in the tyre. Also, the bike gets dual-channel ABS but misses out on traction control.

BikeDekho Says
If you want a sporty commuter with aggressive styling, the Hero Xtreme 125R is a good choice. The Xtreme 125R also gets cruise control, three ride modes and TPMS, making it a feature-rich package. However, it misses out on traction control, which the Raider offers.
The TVS Raider, on the other hand, makes more sense if you prioritise safety features and don't mind missing out on TPMS. It is also Rs 12,730 more affordable than the Xtreme 125R Stealth Edition, making it a better value-for-money option.
