Introduction
Hero has raised the bar for commuter motorcycles with the launch of the Hero Glamour X 125, a bike that defies every convention in the 125cc segment. Priced from Rs. 89,999 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the Glamour X comes loaded with features that are usually found in premium bikes. With its cruise control, ride modes, ride-by-wire throttle and a new design, this commuter has become aspirational.
Design and Style
The Hero Glamour X 125 looks far from ordinary. Its sharper fuel tank, angular panels and bold stance makes it look like a sporty street bike than a regular commuter. All-LED lighting including H-shaped tail lamp makes it stand out on the road. Five new color options adds to its personality.
Engine and Performance
At the heart of the Glamour X is a 124.7cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 11.4 bhp and 10.5 Nm of torque paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox. This engine is already proven on the Xtreme 125R but here its tuned for a mix of efficiency and everyday usability. Hero’s i3S idle stop-start system helps in better fuel economy and the engine has enough punch for city rides and highway cruising.
