5 Reasons Why Hero Xoom 110cc is Perfect for Evergreen City Rides

What actually makes a scooter good for city riding? Sure, everyone talks about fuel efficiency. But is that really all that matters when you're stuck in traffic five days a week? Our Xoom 110cc thinks differently. And honestly, after looking at what it brings to the table, it's hard to argue.

This isn't about fancy marketing speak. It's about a scooter that actually gets what city riders go through. The morning chaos. The evening rush. Those random midnight rides when you're craving biryani from that one place across town.

Get ready to explore why our Xoom is making waves as the best performing scooter in India right now.

Lights That Actually Work When You Turn

You know that moment when you take a turn at night and your headlight keeps pointing straight? Suddenly, you're steering blind into a corner, hoping there's no pothole waiting to wreck your day. It's ridiculous that we've just accepted this as normal.

Xoom fixes this with corner-bending lights. First time anyone's done it on a scooter. The way it works is simple but brilliant. As you lean into a turn, the lights on the side kick in and actually illuminate the curve ahead. You see what's coming before you're already in it. Think about those tight colony roads with barely any streetlights. Or the turns near markets where there's always something unexpected. Maybe it's a parked rickshaw. Maybe someone's walking their dog. Maybe there's a crater-sized pothole the municipality swears they'll fix next week. With Xoom, you spot these things in time to react. Not after you've already committed to the turn.

It sounds like a small thing until you ride at night regularly. Then it becomes the thing you can't imagine living without.

Speed That Actually Matters in Real Traffic

Have you noticed how some scooters just feel sluggish? The light turns green, you twist the throttle, and nothing happens for what feels like forever. Meanwhile, everyone else has already moved ahead, and you're stuck trying to find a gap.

Xoom goes from 0 to 60 km/hr in 9.35 seconds. That's the fastest in the entire 110cc segment. Not by a little bit. By enough that you actually feel the difference every single time you ride.

This matters way more than it sounds on paper. When you need to merge into moving traffic. When that autorickshaw ahead is crawling, and you need to get past. When you're trying to make it through an intersection before the light changes, Xoom just responds. Immediately.

The engine puts out 8.05 bhp at 7250 rpm and 8.70 Nm of torque at 5750 rpm. If those numbers mean nothing to you, here's the translation: it has proper punch when you need it. City riding is all about acceleration, not top speed. And this is where Xoom becomes a 110cc scooter with the best mileage that also doesn't feel slow. Rare combination.

Tyres That Handle Whatever the Road Throws at You

Most people don't think about tyres until something goes wrong. But here's the thing. What's between your scooter and the road makes a massive difference to how your ride actually feels.

Xoom runs bigger and wider tyres than anything else in its segment. Front is 90/90-12. Rear goes up to 100/80-12 on the VX and ZX variants. Nobody else is doing this combination in a 110cc scooter. Why does this matter? Because Indian roads are chaotic. You'll be riding on decent tarmac one second, then suddenly you're navigating a section that looks like it survived a bombing. Wider tyres mean more contact with the road. More contact means better grip. Better grip means you don't feel like you're gambling every time you brake or turn.

During monsoons, this becomes even more obvious. Roads get slippery. That extra width helps you stay planted. Confidence goes up. Those nervous moments when you're not sure if the scooter will hold or slide? They happen way less often. Plus, the ride just feels more stable. Less vibration. Fewer surprises. It's one of those things where once you experience it, going back to narrower tyres feels weird.

Tech That Doesn't Get in Your Way

How often do you miss calls because you can't check your phone while riding? Or worse, how often have you seen people trying to use their phones at 40 km/hr in traffic? It's insane and dangerous.

Xoom has Bluetooth connectivity with a fully digital speedometer. When someone calls, their number shows up on your console. Right there. You glance down for half a second, see who it is, and decide if it's worth pulling over. No reaching into your pocket. No taking your eyes off the road for five seconds. Same deal with SMS alerts. They pop up on the screen. You see enough to know if it's urgent or if it can wait.

Then there's the Real Time Mileage Indicator. Want to know your Hero Xoom mileage per litre right now, based on how you're currently riding? It tells you. In real time. So if you're curious about improving your efficiency, you get instant feedback on what works and what doesn't.

The i3S technology is another smart touch. The engine automatically cuts off when you're idling at a signal. Restarts the moment you hit the brake and throttle. Saves fuel without you having to think about it. No complicated process. It just works.

And there's a low fuel indicator. Seems basic, but you'd be surprised how many times this saves you from that panicked hunt for a petrol pump during rush hour. When people ask about Xoom mileage, they're really asking if it's practical. All this tech makes it very practical.

Design That Doesn't Apologise for Looking Good

Should a commuter scooter look boring? Most manufacturers seem to think so. Xoom completely disagrees with that philosophy.

Those H-shaped LED headlamps and tail lamps are instantly recognisable. You see one on the road and you know it's Xoom. The aerodynamic body isn't just for show either. It actually helps with stability at speed and cuts through wind resistance better.

Diamond-cut alloy wheels give it a premium look that most scooters in this segment don't even attempt. You get five colour options. Sports Red if you want attention. Pearl Silver White, if you prefer something clean and classy. And if you really want to stand out, there's the Combat Edition with its matte shadow grey and fighter jet-inspired graphics.

But the design thinking goes beyond just looking sharp. The under-seat storage is huge. You can actually fit a full-face helmet without playing Tetris. The front glove box has USB charging, so your phone doesn't die during long rides. There's even a boot light, which sounds small, but try finding something in your storage at night without one.

Xoom manages to look expensive while being packed with practical features. That's not easy to pull off. Most scooters pick one or the other. This does both without compromise.
