Hero MotoCorp, one of the biggest names in India’s two-wheeler market, has given its popular commuter motorcycle, the Hero Glamour X 125, a fresh update. The bike is now available in five new colour options, which might seem like a small change but adds to its overall appeal. The Glamour has always been known for its practicality, efficiency, and reliability, and this refresh is designed to keep it relevant in the crowded 125cc commuter segment.
Key Takeaways
- Now offered in five colour options: Matte Magnetic Silver, Candy Blazing Red, Metallic Nexus Blue, Black Teal Blue, and Black Pearl Red
- Powered by a 124.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with a 5-speed gearbox
- Features include a digital instrument cluster, Bluetooth connectivity, and turn-by-turn navigation
- Safety features include a side-stand engine cut-off and panic brake alert
- Claimed mileage of around 63 kmpl with Hero’s i3S idle stop-start system
New Look and Features
The new colours give the Glamour X 125 a fresher personality. Shades like Matte Magnetic Silver and Black Teal Blue, in particular, add a slightly sportier and more premium feel. Combined with its sharp front fairing, LED headlamp, sculpted fuel tank, and updated graphics, the design looks more aligned with younger commuter preferences.
Beyond the visuals, Hero has also ensured the bike stays practical. The digital LCD console shows gear position, real-time mileage, and service reminders. Bluetooth connectivity allows smartphone pairing for call and SMS alerts, while turn-by-turn navigation makes daily commutes simpler. On the safety front, the Glamour comes equipped with a side-stand engine cut-off and a panic brake alert system that warns vehicles behind during sudden braking.
Engine and Performance
The mechanicals remain unchanged. The Glamour X 125 continues with its 124.7cc engine that produces 10.72 bhp at 7500 rpm and 10.6 Nm of torque at 6000 rpm, paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox. It strikes a good balance between performance and fuel efficiency. Hero’s i3S idle stop-start system helps save fuel in traffic by switching off the engine when idling. The company claims a mileage of about 63 kmpl, which should appeal to cost-conscious riders.
Built on a diamond frame, the bike uses telescopic front forks and adjustable twin hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear. It runs on tubeless tyres and is available with either drum brakes or a front disc option. With this package, the Glamour X 125 continues to stand strong against rivals like the Honda SP 125 and TVS Raider 125.
