Hero MotoCorp just rolled out the Glamour X 125—touted as the most futuristic 125cc bike in India. With the solid reputation of the Glamour brand, which already boasts over 8 million happy riders, the Glamour X 125 promises a sleek new look, high-tech features, standout performance, and plush comfort, all aimed at today’s go-getters.
Hero Glamour X 125 Tech and Style
Hero didn’t just tweak the old; they’ve reimagined what a Deluxe 125cc can be. The Glamour X introduces a bunch of category-firsts, including the world’s first Low Battery Kick Startability enabled by AERA (Advanced Electronic Ride Assist) Tech. That means smoother starts and improved safety. It’s also packing Ride-by-Wire for sharp throttle response, Cruise Control for easy-breezy highway runs, three ride modes (Eco, Road, Power), and a Panic Brake Alert for emergency braking situations. However the company has missed the addition of ABS and that surely back fires on the narrative of tech and feature loaded.
You can grab the Glamour X 125 in two options—Drum at INR 89,999 or Disc at INR 99,999 (ex-showroom Delhi), available across Hero MotoCorp dealerships nationwide.
The Glamour X draws attention wherever it goes with its muscular, sculpted build and aggressive lines. Lighting is next-level, too—you get a Signature ‘H’ LED setup (headlamp, position lights, and a striking tail lamp) for a premium look and top visibility. The bike is loaded with a Multi-Colour LCD instrument cluster featuring Bluetooth, Turn-by-Turn Navigation, Distance-to-Empty, Gear Position Advisory, and an ambient light sensor—bringing smart tech right to your dashboard. The fresh new tactile switchgear with an easy-to-access hazard switch adds an upscale feel and functional convenience.
Hero Glamour X 125 Performance
Under the hood, the advanced Sprint-EBT engine pumps out 11.4BHP at 8,250RPM, delivering punchy power, smooth acceleration, and fuel efficiency in one go. With a revised cam profile and optimized gearing, the throttle snaps to life, and the silenced cam chain plus balancer shaft keep the ride super smooth and quiet (no annoying rattles here). Bonus: Its deep, bassy exhaust note gives it real big-bike energy, and the trusty kick-start means you’re never left stranded.
Hero Glamour X 125 Features
The Glamour X 125 truly leads the pack with state-of-the-art tech. It’s the first-ever 125cc bike with low-battery kick start—thanks to a smart solenoid valve working off Hero’s AERA Tech. It’s also the only one to boast four segment-first features: Ride-by-Wire (for accurate throttle), Cruise Control (for relaxed long rides), Three Ride Modes (Eco, Road, Power), and Panic Brake Alert for those “just-in-case” moments. Together, this makes it the smartest, safest, and most convenient ride in its class.
Rider comfort is top priority. Thanks to a wide handlebar and optimal ground clearance, you’ll feel in command and relaxed—even on rough patches. The premium pillion grab rail, inspired by bigger bikes, keeps your passenger safe and steady.
Comfort & Daily Practicality
Long rides or daily commutes, Glamour X has your back. The spacious pillion seat, plush cushioning, bigger grab rail, and improved comfort make sure no journey feels like a chore. Clever practical touches include a handy under-seat utility box (fits two phones, a toolkit, and a first-aid kit), plus a 2 Amp Type C USB port for on-the-go charging. The sturdy nylon rear grip, echoing Hero’s premium lineup, blends rugged utility with polished looks.
