The Xoom 160 sports a tall and robust design, resembling an off-road-ready maxi-scooter. It features an LED headlight nestled between a transparent visor and a secondary beak, a single-piece seat, and a top box mount, which may be available as an add-on. The two-wheeler is equipped with LED lighting, a smart key, remote key ignition, an ignition dial, and a smart find feature.
It uses a 156cc, single-cylinder engine
The new Xoom 160 is powered by a 156cc, single-cylinder engine. Although the power figures have not been released yet, they are expected to be announced tomorrow. The scooter comes with standard telescopic front forks, dual rear shocks, and front and rear disc brakes mounted on 14-inch wheels with block-pattern tires. The official price of the two-wheeler is estimated to range between Rs. 1.2-1.3 lakh (ex-showroom).
