For quite a long time, most of the scooters on sale in India have not breached the 125 cc threshold, save for the expensive maxi-scooters from foreign OEMs. In 2021, Yamaha launched the Aerox 155 in India, which was the first higher capacity, liquid-cooled, maxi performance scooter. The Yamaha Aerox 155 proved to be a sales success in the country. Now, India's biggest two-wheeler manufacturer Hero MotoCorp has followed suit with the Xoom 160, launched at the Auto Expo 2025.

Hero MotoCorp aims to ramp up its effort to grab more stake in the bulging premium two-wheeler market in India. The newly launched Hero Xoom 160 comes as a key model in that strategy, which sits on top of the Xoom lineup of the OEM, which also comprises Xoom 110 and Xoom 125 models.
