Delhi : At the present EICMA 2023 motor exhibition in Milan, Italy, Hero MotoCorp introduced a brand-new adventure scooter. The maxi-scooter, known as the Hero Xoom 160R, will compete with the likes of the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Aprilia SXR 160, as well as act as Hero MotoCorp's flagship scooter when it arrives in the Indian market. The forthcoming Xoom 160R will be Hero MotoCorp's first foray into scooters larger than 125cc.
