The 2026 Hero Xtreme 125R has been spotted in flesh with new TFT instrument cluster and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) features
Hero MotoCorp is all set to roll out the 2026 Xtreme 125R as the bike has been spotted undisguised ahead of its official launch in the Indian market. It will come loaded with several modern features, including TFT instrument cluster and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The 2026 Hero Xtreme 125R will be at loggerheads with TVS Raider 125, Honda CB125 Hornet, and Bajaj Pulsar 125. It is believed that the new premium features will only be offered with the range-topping variant, which is currently sold at Rs 1.08 lakh (ex-showroom).
TVS Raider 125 was the first motorcycle in the segment to get a TFT instrument console. Honda followed the suit and introduced the CB125 Hornet with a TFT screen. Bajaj Auto is also ready with the new-gen Pulsar 125 and it has been captured on camera with a TFT cluster. Hence, Hero has finally decided to equip the 2026 Xtreme 125R with the same feature as it doesn’t want to be seen left behind in this highly competitive segment.
Hero Xtreme 160R already comes with a TFT instrument cluster and now its smaller counterpart, the Xtreme 125R, has also been packed with the same feature. The ongoing model of the naked bike comes with a 4.2-inch coloured LCD screen as standard. Now, with the LCD unit being replaced with a premium TFT screen, the 2026 Xtreme 125R will become even more desirable and value-for-money model.
The 2026 Hero Xtreme 125R will be the only motorcycle in its segment to offer cruise control, TPMS and ride-by-wire throttle as a complete package. The bike will contnue to carry a few elements from the current model in the form of split seat setup, dual disc brakes, dual channel ABS, all-LED lighting, ride modes and wider rear tyre (120-section).
The suspension setup is likely to be retained from the existing model with the telescopic front forks and mono-shock rear unit at the helm. The 2026 Hero Xtreme 125R will miss out on USD front suspension, which is only available with Honda CB125 Hornet in the entire segment. Hence, we can expect the brand to notice this and perhaps introduce a new top-end variant in near future with USD forks.
Mechanically, the 2026 Hero Xtreme 125R will be equipped with the same 125cc single-cylinder petrol engine which belts out top power of 11.4 bhp at 8,250 rpm and peak torque of 10.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The engine is linked to a 5-speed gearbox. Presently, the bike is retailed in a price range of Rs 91,500-1,08,300 (ex-showroom) in the Indian market.
