Indian outlet BikeWale measured the real-world fuel economy of Hero MotoCorp's sport scooter, the Xoom 160, using its own test cycle. The results were reportedly impressive. In the practicality-focused Indian market, fuel economy is a key factor influencing purchase decisions.
From a market perspective, fuel economy numbers speak louder than anything else in India. Not the spec sheet, but how far you go on one liter — that single point sways sales. The Xoom 160 posting good real-world test results is a powerful weapon for Hero. What the numbers show is that practicality is the actual currency in one of the world's largest two-wheeler markets.

It says the Xoom 160 is a sport scooter, but what class is it in by displacement?
Seems like the Xoom 160 is gaining a good reputation not just for design but for practicality too.
'Good results' is pretty vague wording — curious exactly how good.
I'd like to see a fuel economy comparison against other scooters in the same class too.
Fuel economy deciding a purchase is a harsh reality typical of the Indian market.
A real-world measurement from an in-house test cycle is more trustworthy info than a catalog figure.
This article alone doesn't give the actual numbers, so that's what I'm curious about.
