Latest leaked images show that Hero is readying a more affordable 125 cc derivative of its Xtreme motorcycle range with the model also likely to be unveiled at the upcoming Hero event. Interestingly, Hero seems to be giving the 125R an identity of its own with the leaked images revealing some notable design changes compared to its larger-hearted siblings.
The Xtreme 125R appears to get an edgy look with a sleek rectangular headlamp housed within a sharply sculpted cowl. The bike also seems to feature LED daytime running lamps as a pair of eyebrows positioned towards the top of the cowl. The sporty design continues with an angular and sculpted fuel tank replete with contrast-finished tank extensions housing the 125R graphics. As with the 160R 4V, the 125R looks to get a split seat and a two-piece pillion grab handle. The rear mono-shock too looks to be retained from its more premium sibling.
