I do love scooters. I can get super swiftly through traffic on them and I can honestly say, I ride them better than I do motorcycles. I get very excited to test new ones. And man, the Xoom looks fresh. Everyone at MotorInc took a second look at it while it was on test with us. Small niggles side, I really enjoyed riding it too, although it became clear that Hero's missed a trick or two in creating it too. Like I read somewhere that a fuel filler cap on the tail unit would mess with the clean lines. But there are scooter with filler caps on the front apron too. But I kept returning to the big picture the more I rode. Indian automotive history says products that take on market leaders without sufficient differentiation tend not to get beyond a certain level of sales over their lifecycle. And increasingly, it seems normal to accept that once you have X% of the market leader's sales, you're doing well. But tell me this: shouldn't brands be thinking more ambitiously and focussing on differentiating the products further instead? Oh and just to clarify, the numbers of sales/market shares I used for the story are all from February 2023 because March and April numbers have movements upwards and downwards as the arrival of BS6 Phase II vehicles interfered with production and sales across segments. This is probably because brands tapered off production to control dealer inventories for the April 1 transition, and in April, some brands took a week or two to start delivering BS6-II units.
After booking my conti gt I took test drive of a few scooters too, as the delivery period of conti was too long, and I needed something more practical too. The only thing I liked about xoom is the looks though. Ended up buying jupiter 125 for the practical bits and its riding dynamics.
my only concern would be, if going to buy in a hero showroom, would they make the same designed scooter for next 10 years?? so that there would be no problems in parts. plastic body here and there, design is definitely not timeless!
Valid concern and no answer that we can give at this time. How long will this design last, what problems will people face are all unknowns unfortunately.
There was a time when Hero was the second largest scooter seller in India after Honda..Then came TVS,Suzuki,Yamaha all with so many good models and Hero was just sitting idle happy on splendor sales..I think the way they did with Vida and Xoom Hero may be late to the party but surely they are trying to concentrate on scooters as well which is a good thing..
Well said! Shumi does feel that trying to keep up is a failing strategy though and Hero needs a disruptor that does something _wildly_ different from the norm
Recently, I had that itch to upgrade my 2009 Honda Aviator. 125 cc seemed to be the decent default choice instead of the almost similarly priced 110 cc. Took test drives of Activa 110, Activa 125, Grazia 125, Ntorq, Access, Burgman, Jupiter and Fascino. Gave a good thought about everything and shortlisted Activa 125, Burgman, Jupiter and Fascino. Activa 125 seemed too dull eventually and the sales outlets didn't even care to sell the product...more like "Yeh Activa hai, le jao". Jupiter with its bottom mounted fuel tank would have always ended up with anxiety over bumps and pot holes. Burgman is basically Access with a body kit (which I liked!)....and the wild card Fascino, although quite stiff, seemed fun. Finally it was Burgman v/s Fascino, a fight which Burgman won hands down in the excel sheet I had created 😂. But then I gave a good thought about investing approx. 1.2 lakhs on the Burgman. Eventually ended up spending 6000 on my Aviator. New tyres and all filters, lubricants and oils changed properly. Has been 6 months now and I still choose my 2009 Aviator amongst a 6 vehicle garage as my default short cruising option.
Couldn't have asked anything better than a MotorInc review with Shumi as a host on a Sunday morning, truly a delight! forget about the scooter as I was totally invested in minimalistic editing, presentation and ofcourse Shumi's ASMR voice!!!
Recently bought Hero XOOM ZX top end for family minimal usage. I am impressed by the design and a few aesthetics (Great job Hero). It's been a month and am impressed with the performance, maintenance, mileage(50+km/l), and riding experience. As you said, it would gain more traction and numbers if there was a 125cc option. Great video with fantastic editing, script, and presentation Shumi:)
I have been riding HX 110 since June 2023. I got the top end model in the red and black combination. I have a mixed experience until now. Firstly the design is great and there is no doubt about it, secondly the HX provides a good mileage. I have been getting 40+ kmpl until now. The led DRLs looks very attractive and are bright. However there are few things you should know if you are planning to buy this scooter. It has a lot of vibration in low speeds. You will feel the vibration on the footboard and on the handle bars, to add to it the grunty noise when you try to rev it get past the low speeds and then the vibrations and noise seems to slowly fade out. The engine definitely needs refinement, the vibration is to that extent that you might sometime feel not to ride this anymore or just live with it. The underseat space is not pratical, as you can only keep a half helmet. Cornering lights are not that useful to be honest. The fuel tank is under the seat along with the lid, so you have to open your seat everytime you have to refill, that is a inconvenience to me. The front disk brakes have a lot less bite than i would have loved. Overall this might be a good option for many buyers with the sporty looks and design, but personally I would not recommend buying HX 110 only becuase of its engine lacks refinement which detoriates your riding experience. By the way you guys are doing an awesome job. The presentation, detailing, background audio, editing ( the subtle sarcastic criticism) is just top notch. Best automobile reviewers in YT.
@@motorinc and then be surprised as you contemplate which 100-110cc scooter is the best. I have said it before I'll say it again, just this ability of you guys to spark that thought, it's like Clarkson Hammond or May talking about a ferrari
I have purchased this scooter and I am using it from last 1 year. Everything I like about this scooter, but not the engine. It's engine has sound even at 10 km/h and increases as you will increase the speed. And I have ridden activa as well and it is so smooth. As we know, engine is the brain of vehicle, so one should not compromise with the engine quality. Conclusion - don't go with hero xoom, go with either activa or Jupiter.
It looks like an Avenis which people say looks like an Ntorq, WHICH people say look like a Honda Dio. (based on my months researching what to buy after settling for a black Avenis) Point being.. I guess sporty scooters can't really do much form factor wise; kind of like how all smartphones look the same'ish and you should gauge what you want based on performance and utility as much as you can.
@shumi: R&D is an iterative process and we used to cross our fingers with TVS too 5 years back. While sales may not add up yet for Hero, would you say R&D is getting its act together finally.
My feeling is that the steps being taken are a little small-minded. Instead of aiming to fight the war, they're focussing on the little battles as it were. To wit, our history says incrementally better products never match sales leaders' volumes. So where's the stand out 110cc scooter? 23 years after Activa, they're all still fighting that same losing battle... - Shumi
Simple and sober is what people go for when buying a scooty it seems. Activa and jupiter are elegantly designed, after years, one cannot see the difference in design. Same as vw polo. I dont even know how many scooters hero have come up with.
@@motorinc very niche, those who cannot argue with their parents to go for the bike. Even then ntorq and aprilla can make a case. i have recommended ntorq to few and they been happy about it. Ather is my new fav.
It'd be great if you could mention how good is the review vehicle for people of different stature. I have a feeling that this looks bigger than it actually is.
@@motorinc exactly! It's kinda annoying who usually ride in 25_35km/h! There's an vibration comes from that that upper part of front end! IDK u all felt it or not! It feel the engine well characterized at higer speed like 40> & less than
The past month sales of Xoom was about 13k+ and when it came it was only 1k. And it managed to take over the sales of Burgman and Ray125. What expect from hero is to launch Xoom 125 with 3valve head. Another suggestion is to move the fuel tank to the footrest board like what we see in Jupiter 125. Because it will give more space to the under seat storage(which is one of the problem of Xoom) and the fueling at the front is always better than the rear for me(the left end pocket at the front seems unnecessary though). For this they have to work on the board and have to increase its size which will eventually make more space at the front(two mangoes in one shot). Also then hero won't have to compromise the rear end design.
I am hugely impressed by the way shumi presents us his automotive journalism. And I am eagerly waiting for his review on the not so popular suzuki avenis 125cc which happens to be my first scooter 🛵 with which i am slowly but surely falling in love with riding and his idea of a single bike garage ❤
My toxic bias towards bikes will prevent me from getting a scooter. Scooters are practical, easy to ride; I agree. No matter how good a scooter is, my mind say "but it's not a bike". I think, if you don't take your mom/ partner often as your pillion, don't share the vehicle with family members or don't carry groceries regularly - getting a bike is a better choice. I would choose bikes like platina or splendor over current gen scooters everyday.
hero lags in build quality i have personally owned a maestro and its just feel like a kids cycle and i after that I moved to activa and i know it doesnt have feature and it do the work for which it is used
Shayad Hero me hi multi use keyhole introduce kiya tha Maestro 110 ke saath 2015 me seat fuel filler aur ignition ke liye. Tab maine wo scooter liya tha. Ab Hero do do keyhole aur internal fuel filling ke saath gya. Thoda ajeeb h. Par scooter acccha h. Mai apne Maestro ko replace krne ki soch raha hun isse.
If you want to make it look sporty then make it sporty these half measures don’t work quite as well. It’s like making a hunting knife and finishing it like a butter knife. I don’t understand why motorcycle manufacturers don’t go into a concept with both feet in it. Ntorq and Aerox being an exception.
Scooters present an interesting proposition in the present day market where a performance-oriented 150CC bike sits at 1.3-1.5 lakhs at a minimum. Most scooters are extremely agile due to their shorter wheelbase and smaller tires, giving a “minibike” feel to the riding and the engines, while small, are lively enough to get through most riding situations. And the new wave of “performance scooters” a-la TVS and Aprilia has meant that most beginner riders on a small budget can get their first shot of the joys of motorcycling with a scooter. And let’s not forget the comfort of life features most scooters come with, like underseat storage and footwell space and actual pillion seat space. And maintenance is relatively easy as well. So it’s more down to the rider’s choices and needs.
I think they should looks at scooters in Indonesia, bigger boot space better features, why can't anyone have a bigger boot space except Jupiter 125? I'm waiting for a scooter to launch with that feature
The J125 moved the fuel tank under the floorboard (where EV scooter batteries sit) and that released the space. Until other makers redesigned the chassis, a larger boot is hard to do for the rest
@@motorinc if you see the new launches in the East Asian countries, all brands Honda Yamaha and Suzuki have multiple options big boot, front filling, lcd dash and here we are stuck with 15 yr old design with only cosmetic upgrades like graphics on the body
Topgear india back in the day had a few pages at the end of each issue with a brief editorial on each vehicle in the market. It's great that you folks are doing the same in video form, but an easily accessible site/page somewhere with this opinions, that would be great!
When will be the Dominar 400 2023 version review will be out???waiting to get yours opinion on that before finalizing the product. Thank you. Hope you see this.
Hey Bhushan, we're not in a position to offer you a timeline for when a story might release, unfortunately. We'll get to the Domi when we can in a video. But the short version of our opinion of the Domi is pretty clear -- we don't like how it feels to ride and we don't recommend buying one.
The Ntorq makes more power that the Xoom and it has established itself as proven and reliable 125cc scooter. The Xoom is promising but it is relatively new to the market. In the end, the choice should boil down to how good either of these scooters felt during the test ride.
First of all , previous hero scooters used to have cheap quality plastic and body frame. Even worse than Honda at times. Why a subcontinent market is still using black seats and carbon colored hard plastic ?? Suzuki comes to the resuce with beige and coffee brown seating which are much more comfortable in this 45 degree heat. F nobody pays attention to this small detail .
Hey Guys love your videos. I am going to start my first riding experience soon. I am looking for a good helmet under 8k. I learned the basics of getting a good helmet from your prev videos. But still I thought if you can give me some options. I have looked into MT helmets , thunder pro 3 to be specific. Do let me know your thoughts. Cheers !!
@@motorinc Good to know it’s coming soon…. I’m checking your channel daily for newer reviews…. It’s detailed but minimalist…. Just the way I like it…. Anyway thank you for making these videos and being connected to the community at such a level ♥️ wishing you all a successful year 💥
Please avoid buying Xoom scooter. I have been using it. Too many quality issues. Handle wobbling, seat lock not working, brake cable holder broken, battery discharge frequently, too much engine noise, too much vibrations . Now I feel like selling it and regret buying it
In my state tripura Hero zoom costs at 104k on road agartala (top model) Whether honda dio 125 previously grazia costs somewhere around 103k (base model) I will prefer dio 125 over this anyway And also activa costs somewhere around 100k(top model)
I am in big confusion..... whether to sell my current hornet 160r to buy tvs ntorq... thinking will i be missing any major advantage of a bike over 125cc scooter... main reason to switch is for riding comfort as my major use case is typical (Indian) city commuting. Please share opinion.....
U may end up gettin back pain ridin on scooters! Only added benefit is storage. Scooters can't match comfort levels because bikes have better suspension & bigger wheels. Mileage will also be less.
You cannot upgrade comfort by going from a bike to a scooter Creed. You can upgrade ease of use and utility at best. Look at the new 160s and 200s. They've got even better suspension and they might offer you more comfort than the Ntorq.
None of the scooters in India have a half decent suspension. If every scooter makes a hard suspension, everyone would always want to choose a bike over it

I don’t understand why motorcycle manufacturers don’t go into a concept with both feet in it. Ntorq and Aerox being an exception.
Spot on! Wholehearted purpose always produces superior experiences than let's over our bases
That last hmm was unexpected but lovely 😅..
Can't say "cute" anymore😂😂
Ahaha!
Scooters present an interesting proposition in the present day market where a performance-oriented 150CC bike sits at 1.3-1.5 lakhs at a minimum.
Most scooters are extremely agile due to their shorter wheelbase and smaller tires, giving a “minibike” feel to the riding and the engines, while small, are lively enough to get through most riding situations.
And the new wave of “performance scooters” a-la TVS and Aprilia has meant that most beginner riders on a small budget can get their first shot of the joys of motorcycling with a scooter. And let’s not forget the comfort of life features most scooters come with, like underseat storage and footwell space and actual pillion seat space. And maintenance is relatively easy as well. So it’s more down to the rider’s choices and needs.
Spot on! Scooters do so many things well for sure!
@motorinc pls make vid on triumph and harley new launches
We need more scooter reviews from Shumi🤩
Coming soon!
I think they should looks at scooters in Indonesia, bigger boot space better features, why can't anyone have a bigger boot space except Jupiter 125? I'm waiting for a scooter to launch with that feature
The J125 moved the fuel tank under the floorboard (where EV scooter batteries sit) and that released the space. Until other makers redesigned the chassis, a larger boot is hard to do for the rest
@@motorinc exactly, need some innovative in this dull scooter market, where we didn't see any innovative features since their launch.
Absolutely.
@@motorinc if you see the new launches in the East Asian countries, all brands Honda Yamaha and Suzuki have multiple options big boot, front filling, lcd dash and here we are stuck with 15 yr old design with only cosmetic upgrades like graphics on the body
@@kalyand25Aerox is very good I own one
Khatarnak English...Britian ke viewers ko sure samaj ayega
Topgear india back in the day had a few pages at the end of each issue with a brief editorial on each vehicle in the market. It's great that you folks are doing the same in video form, but an easily accessible site/page somewhere with this opinions, that would be great!
Thanks for the suggestion!
When will be the Dominar 400 2023 version review will be out???waiting to get yours opinion on that before finalizing the product. Thank you. Hope you see this.
Hey Bhushan, we're not in a position to offer you a timeline for when a story might release, unfortunately. We'll get to the Domi when we can in a video. But the short version of our opinion of the Domi is pretty clear -- we don't like how it feels to ride and we don't recommend buying one.
@@motorinc then which bike will you suggest me??
That design in a 125 at or slightly above the Jupiter's price ? Hero might have their hero.
Should I go for xoom or ntorq?
The Ntorq makes more power that the Xoom and it has established itself as proven and reliable 125cc scooter. The Xoom is promising but it is relatively new to the market. In the end, the choice should boil down to how good either of these scooters felt during the test ride.
First of all , previous hero scooters used to have cheap quality plastic and body frame. Even worse than Honda at times. Why a subcontinent market is still using black seats and carbon colored hard plastic ?? Suzuki comes to the resuce with beige and coffee brown seating which are much more comfortable in this 45 degree heat. F nobody pays attention to this small detail .
HX 125 Sounds Good 🔥
HX250 sounds better!
@@motorinc 😌🔥
Sundays with Shumi ❤
♥️
A new style of reviewing ❤
♥️
I have never ridden Aprilia Scooters but I want to knw why they are never into consideration whn it comes to sporty Scooters😂😅
can you guys make an comparison video with scooters like activa, Jupiter and access. just like that 3 ev scooter video please 😁
Can do! Short version:
100-110cc choice: Activa (safe purchase). Xoom (great, reliability unknown) Jupiter (safe purchase, best)
125s: Access 125 (best, safe purchase, family). Ntorq (best sporty)
Bigger : Aerox (Smashing! stiff suspension)
Electric: Ather 450X Top model (expensive! Great), iQube S (Safe family purchase)
@@motorinc thank you ♥️
I want to buy a bike which one to prefer hero Xtreme 160r vs Honda x blade??
Y no video’s about Dominar 400? Is it not a worth machine?
Hey Guys love your videos. I am going to start my first riding experience soon. I am looking for a good helmet under 8k. I learned the basics of getting a good helmet from your prev videos. But still I thought if you can give me some options. I have looked into MT helmets , thunder pro 3 to be specific. Do let me know your thoughts. Cheers !!
Make a video on Aprilia sir
When are you making a video on the meteor 350?
Very soon! We're a small team and things take time 🤷🏽♂️
@@motorinc Good to know it’s coming soon…. I’m checking your channel daily for newer reviews…. It’s detailed but minimalist…. Just the way I like it…. Anyway thank you for making these videos and being connected to the community at such a level ♥️ wishing you all a successful year 💥
You're so welcome!
Could you make a video on FZs v4?
I think TVS Ntorq Has started Trend of sporty scooter in India
At the very least, it was the first scooter that was serious about being sporty for sure
external fuel lid is a BIG miss
Yes for sure
Words on the street: hero zoom 125cc coming soon!❤
Sir do you think scooters should get manual gearbox with cluth like that of a bike so that riders could get that thrill? 🤔
No one would buy it. Scooters remain a utility oriented thing in India. No one's looking to change gears on it that we know of
Can you make video on Jupiter, Activa, access
We can!
Indian brands can try affordable maxi scooters with say 160-200cc engines. I feel there is a market for those here.
We agree!
How about the performance in hills
Please avoid buying Xoom scooter. I have been using it. Too many quality issues. Handle wobbling, seat lock not working, brake cable holder broken, battery discharge frequently, too much engine noise, too much vibrations . Now I feel like selling it and regret buying it
Oh god. That sounds terrible. Would you like us to try and help?
Kindly make a video regarding the BMW G310 GS.
Whether its worth in 2023 or not.
Hey. We can try making a video on it as soon as possible.
@@motorinc Thanks for the response.
Love your content.
SHUMI, a neutral review and good presentation
Thank you!
can y'all plz do rtr 200 4v I'm looking forward to it
Can do!
Was to buy Suzuki Avenis,simply bcoz its the best looking in its segment and not as dull as Activa...but now i thnk i should wait for Xoom 125r
Get the Avenis! It’s the better scooter!
"It's a decent option in a market full of decent options" how wonderful
😊
Waiting for hero xtreme 160r 4v review from motorinc!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️
As soon as we can get to it!
In my state tripura
Hero zoom costs at 104k on road agartala (top model)
Whether honda dio 125 previously grazia costs somewhere around 103k (base model)
I will prefer dio 125 over this anyway
And also activa costs somewhere around 100k(top model)
Thanks for sharing @RupaBhowmikNag!
I am in big confusion..... whether to sell my current hornet 160r to buy tvs ntorq... thinking will i be missing any major advantage of a bike over 125cc scooter... main reason to switch is for riding comfort as my major use case is typical (Indian) city commuting. Please share opinion.....
U may end up gettin back pain ridin on scooters!
Only added benefit is storage.
Scooters can't match comfort levels because bikes have better suspension & bigger wheels.
Mileage will also be less.
@@The.Dark.Knight. 👍
You cannot upgrade comfort by going from a bike to a scooter Creed. You can upgrade ease of use and utility at best. Look at the new 160s and 200s. They've got even better suspension and they might offer you more comfort than the Ntorq.
@@motorinc thanks 👍
What about per lt I think it should makes difference?
🤔
Man I need a scooter again, bored of shifting gears in Bangalore
Aerox/Ntorq/450X for fun
Access125/Jupiter/iQube S for practicality
♥️
None of the scooters in India have a half decent suspension. If every scooter makes a hard suspension, everyone would always want to choose a bike over it
Please make a review on the new hero xtreme 160r 4v
Once we get a test bike!
Shumi is looking like George Clooney’s Bruce Wayne from the movie ‘The Flash’.
Abt new xpulse 2023 pls 🙏
Really waiting
