The 4 Best 110cc Scooters To Buy In India

The 110cc scooter segment in the Indian two-wheeler market is a pretty competitive one. The scooters in that segment offer greater mileage compared to 125cc scooters, which is very essential as scooters are mainly used for daily commutes and most of the times, entire families are dependent on them as their primary mode of transportation. And these scooters offer all of these conveniences at a much more affordable price tag than 125cc scooters. So, if you are looking to buy a 110cc scooter soon, there are the 4 best options to choose from: 

Hero Xoom 110

The Hero Xoom 110 is available in four variants: LX, VX, ZX and Combat Edition. Here are the prices

The Xoom 110 is powered by a 110.9cc, single-cylinder engine producing 8.05PS and 8.07Nm, making it among the most powerful scooters in its segment. The suspension setup consists of a telescopic fork and a monoshock. The LX and VX variants get 130mm drum brakes at both ends while the ZX and the Combat Edition variants get a 190mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum brake.

The ZX and Combat Edition variants get Bluetooth connectivity for call and SMS alerts. The USB charging port and the front glove box are available as optional on the LX variant while the rest of the variants get them as standard. 

The Hero Xoom 110 gets a youthful and sporty design language and the upswept, sharp lines give this sporty scooter an aggressive stance. The LED projector headlight along with the H-shaped LED DRL and the sporty looking alloy wheels makes it quite distinct from other 110cc scooters available in the current two-wheeler market. The newly launched Combat Edition gets a gorgeous Matt Shadow Grey colour scheme and the subtle yellow and grey graphics accentuate the sporty styling very well. 

As a sporty scooter, the Xoom 110 is quite quick. The engine provides peppy performance and combined with the great low-end torque, the scooter is quite fun to ride in city traffic conditions. The engine is refined as well and feels quite smooth at city speeds. The suspension setup is a bit on the firmer side and offers sporty riding dynamics. It is easy to flick the scooter through traffic and the tyres offer good grip to complement that character. The Xoom’s larger 12” front and rear wheels not only gives it plenty of stability when turning, it also ensures that it rides over bad roads and bumps really comfortably. The braking setup offers good bite and the stopping performance is controlled and progressive, offering good confidence to the rider in the result. Despite being a sporty scooter, the Xoom 110 is quite frugal too with a claimed figure of 53.4kmpl. All in all, if you are looking for a sporty, 110cc scooter, then the Hero Xoom 110 is a good option to consider.
