Ride and Handling
We tested the all new Hero XOOM 110 scooter mostly on urban roads and highways. The scooter was quick, agile and quite nice to ride. The rider can comfortably sit and keep riding. Since it is an automatic scooter, the riding job is easy- accelerate and brake. Initially, we felt the throttle input is quite hard and then got used to it. The scooter felt nice while riding on small streets and within the traffic, the weight is less, so it is quick and sporty.
We got a mileage around 40 kmpl. It could have been better – the mileage depends on your riding style. The pillion comfort at the back was comfortable as well, Talking about the practicality, the storage spaces (pockets) in the front can be used to store your shopping items like milk packets etc, The under seat storage was small but good enough to hold a full-faced helmet. Overall, the ride quality offered by Hero XOOM 110 was quite satisfying. The XOOM combat edition offered a feature called cornering lights, however we could not understand its impact on our ride. The cornering lights is supposed to light up when the scooter is bending through corners, we did not notice any significant functional use from that feature.
The i3S feature is available in Hero XOOM 110 scooter, it is an amazing feature that works flawlessly and brings the scooter’s engine to halt whenever your scooter is idling at conditions like traffic signal. You can again bring the engine to life by holding and releasing the brake gently. It is quite a useful feature to save fuel, extremely nice to have feature especially for those who live in city. There is a dedicated i3S feature on the right side of the handlebar, you can turn it on or off, depending on your requirement.
Braking and Suspension
The combat edition of Hero XOOM 110 features 190mm disc brake in the front and 130mm drum brake at the rear. The disc brake in the front gives more confidence for the rider to take on scooter under rainy conditions. The stopping distance is quite good, the brakes are responsive and has a good bite.
