Engine and Performance
The new Glamour is powered by a 124.7cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It produces around 10.7 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 10.6 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox, which makes gear shifts much smoother than the older 4-speed unit. Hero has also added i3S (Idle Stop-Start System) technology, which improves fuel efficiency in stop-and-go city traffic.
This bike is designed for city commuting, with a good balance of power delivery and mileage. Though it is not designed for high-speed highway rides, it is suitable for daily office commute and urban use.
Features
The Hero Glamour now gets a digital-analogue instrument cluster that displays speedometer, odometer, trip meter, and fuel level. Some variants also feature Bluetooth connectivity for call and SMS alerts, which is useful for modern-day riders. The bike comes with side-stand engine cut-off, a feature that enhances safety by preventing the engine from starting if the stand is engaged.
Price and Variant
The new Hero Glamour is offered in multiple variants. Prices may slightly vary across regions, but here is the approximate range:
- Drum Brake Variant: ₹82,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi)
- Disc Brake Variant: ₹86,500 (ex-showroom, Delhi)
This pricing keeps the Glamour competitive against rivals such as Honda SP 125, Bajaj Pulsar 125, and TVS Raider.
Final thought
The Hero Glamour 125cc continues to be a reliable option for riders who want an everyday motorcycle with good fuel economy, simple handling, and a touch of modern features. It may not be loaded with high-end technology, but for city riders and office-goers, it offers practicality at a competitive price. With Hero’s strong service network, maintenance and running costs also remain budget-friendly.
