The starting price of the Hero Xtreme 125R continues to be Rs.98,425 ex-showroom for the IBS version.

Apart from the single-piece seat, there are no changes to the motorcycle. The new seat should offer better support and comfort to the rider and pillion. However, it does reduces the sport appeal and the road presence of the motorcycle.
