The Hero Glamour X 125 is almost here, and fresh leaks have given us a clear picture of what to expect. Set to launch soon, this new commuter motorcycle from Hero MotoCorp will introduce segment-first features that could redefine the 125cc category in India.
Hero Glamour X 125 – What’s New?
Hero has positioned the Glamour X 125 as “India’s most futuristic commuter”, and the leaked details justify the tagline. Key highlights include:
- Cruise Control: For the first time in the commuter segment, Hero will offer cruise control, making long rides more comfortable.
- Riding Modes: Three modes – Eco, Road, and Power – allow riders to adapt performance to their needs.
- Digital TFT Instrument Cluster: Borrowed from the Hero Xtreme 250, this new cluster provides full-colour display and added functionality.
- Switchgear Console: New buttons for cruise control, start-stop, and riding modes, offering a premium feel.
- LED Headlamp: Brighter and more efficient lighting for safer night rides.
- Under-Seat Storage: A small box for keeping documents and essentials safe.
Engine & Performance
The upcoming Glamour X 125 will continue with the familiar 124.7cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, producing 10.7 bhp and 10.6 Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. While the power figures remain unchanged, the added tech and features make it stand apart in the commuter space.
Design Updates
Expect subtle design tweaks, including new graphics, colour schemes, and a fresh emblem on the tank. The Glamour X 125 will be positioned as a more premium offering, likely to sell alongside the current Glamour 125.
Expected Price & Rivals
The Hero Glamour X 125 price in India is expected to fall between ₹95,000 – ₹1,00,000 (ex-showroom). Once launched, it will compete with the likes of:
- TVS Raider 125
- Honda CB125 Hornet
Why It Matters
By introducing cruise control and riding modes in a 125cc commuter, Hero MotoCorp is aiming to revolutionize the budget commuter segment. This move could attract young buyers who want modern tech without breaking the bank.
