Hero Glamour X 125 Launch: Cruise Control & Updated Design

The Hero Glamour X 125, a bold new entry in India’s 125cc commuter motorcycle segment, arrives with standout features—most notably cruise control and a comprehensive design overhaul—that aim to reinvigorate this long-standing model. Positioned as a premium commuter, the Glamour X 125 stakes its claim with future-forward tech, sporty aesthetics, and competitive pricing.

Engine & Performance

Powered by a 124.7 cc air-cooled Sprint-EBT single-cylinder engine, the Glamour X 125 delivers approximately 11.4 bhp at 8,250 rpm and 10.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. The refined engine setup—featuring tuned cam profile, optimized gear ratios, a silent cam chain, and balancer shaft—enhances throttle response while minimizing vibration. The bike also retains a kick-start function, enhanced with a low-battery kick-start capability, part of the AERA platform.

Chassis & Handling

Built on Hero’s trusted Diamond-type frame, the Bike maintains its commuter foundation. Ergonomic upgrades include a 30 mm wider handlebar, an upright riding posture, forward-set footpegs, and a 790 mm seat height with 170 mm ground clearance. The pillion experience improves too—with a larger, better-cushioned seat and wider rear grab rail.

Technology & Features

Where the Glamour X 125 truly shines is in its advanced tech suite:

• Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle ensures precise control.
• Cruise Control, a first-in-segment feature, allows effortless long-distance riding.
• Three Ride Modes—Eco, Road, and Power—help tailor performance to conditions.
• Panic Brake Alert to warn vehicles behind during sudden braking.
• A multi-color LCD/TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth, navigation, gear-position indicator, distance-to-empty, ambient-light sensor, and over 60 functions.
• All-LED lighting, with signature “H”-shaped DRLs and tail lamp, for modern aesthetics.
• Practical touches: Type-C USB charging port, enclosed under-seat utility box, and a refined exhaust note for added character.
• The platform builds on AERA (Advanced Electronic Ride Assist), integrating multiple first-in-segment technologies.

Conclusion

With its premium features, the Hero Glamour X 125 redefines expectations for 125cc commuters. The combination of cruise control, ride modes, ride-by-wire, and a high-tech TFT display makes it particularly attractive to urban riders and long-distance commuters who desire modern convenience in a practical package. Starting at ₹89,999 for the drum variant and ₹99,999 for the disc variant (ex-showroom), the Glamour X 125 stands out as a value-packed choice.
