Back in 2008 when Hero and Honda were best of friends and strong as ever, they had launched the HeroHonda Glamour. A 125 cc motorbike which had a bit of styling for this segment rather than the regular design and the much-needed mileage donor and boy this was a success. Almost a decade old and numerous changes later we have a new avatar. Hero now that it has separated from Honda, it still holds a major market share of the commuter segment. Glamour now comes with fuel injection(FI) Let us check and see if this bike makes their hold stronger or let’s go.  Read further to know more about the new Hero Glamour 125cc Price in India, Specifications and other details.

Hero Glamour 125cc Design

The Hero Glamour 125cc will get an update in styling. The styling will be completely different. It will get new panels, better decals, and a sleeker stance. The new Hero Glamour 125cc will be bigger than the current bike and have better road presence too. It’s better looking too. In terms of design, there will minor updates in the vinyls used. There will be iSmart badging and even dual colour options. The alloy wheels will be matte black in colour and even the quality of paint will improve. The other areas of improvement for this bike will be the materials used on the handles, switches and other controls. Hero has been working to make its bikes more premium.

The new Hero Glamour 125cc gets a single downtube chassis in which the engine is cradled. It has shorter swingers and different suspension setup. The result is a more neutral weight distribution on the entire bike.

Hero Glamour 125cc Price

City Price (on-Road)
Delhi INR 71,654
Mumbai INR 78,298
Pune INR 72,297
Bangalore INR 76,154
Hyderabad INR 73,857
Kolkata INR 74,428
Chandigarh INR 69,660

At the moment, the Hero Glamour 125cc is priced at INR 62,000 and INR 64,560 (on-road, New Delhi). With the additional power, we expect the price to increase by about INR 2,000 or INR 3,000 at the most. As iSmart is an affordable technology, there won’t be a major increase in the price. We expect the pricing to be about INR 71,000 to INR 75,000. The increase will be due to the BS-IV engine. Other than that there won’t any other reason to see a jump in the pricing. This will make it a good option to pick in the 125cc as it will be more efficient than other 125cc due to the i3S technology. The iSmart version shall be launched later on.

Hero Glamour 125cc Engine

The Hero Glamour 125cc is powered by a single-cylinder, 125cc engine. This engine will develop 11.4bhp of power and about 11Nm of maximum torque. The engine has been re-tuned for about 27% increase in the power and about 6% in torque. The new Hero Glamour 125cc shall be offered with as a carburettor and also fuel injection options. The Hero Glamour 125cc will have a BS-IV compliant engine and a four-speed transmission. A five-speed unit would have been preferred, however, as of now what we will get is the four speed one.

There shall be i3S technology on the engine. The engine will switch off when at idle. It will restart after you press the clutch. This function will improve the fuel efficiency of the bike. Hero has plans to add the i3S technology to all its commuter bikes to make it more fuel efficient and easier on the pocket.  The Hero Glamour 125cc will not just have better performance, but even better mileage and lower NVH too. Similar to what we have seen in the Splendor iSmart 110.

The Hero Glamour 125cc can manage 0-60km/hr in 6.03 seconds on the carb version and 5.46 seconds in the fuel injection version. We reckon the fuel-injection version will be more expensive as well. There shall even be Combi-braking on this bike. We can expect single-channel ABS, however that will prove to be more expensive. The tyres and wheels will remain the same as the earlier version.

Hero Glamour Colours

The new 125cc bike will be offered with an array of colour options. To begin with, there shall be Candy Blazing Red and Black combo, Black and Techno Blue combo, Black, Black and Sports Red combo, and Black and Tornado Grey combo. These should be the new colours on offer. The idea of the company to enhance the bike’s styling and make it more appealing it has ever been.

Engine 125cc
76mm 9 bhp @7000 rpm
Torque 10Nm @ 4000 rpm
Transmission 4-speed
Bore 52mm
Stroke 58mm

This small 125 cc engine produces a generous 9 bhp. Only drawback I see here is the 4 gears. In the current era where bikes have 6 gears. The power output on paper doesn’t look exciting, but the engine is peppy for a 125cc motor. This engine is responsive and is very easy to ride in city without too much need to shift gears, making it easy to ride in comfort.

City 60 km/l
Highway 64 km/l

The i3S technology will help to increase the fuel efficiency of the bike. As the new engines will be BS-IV compliant, there will be a reduction in efficiency because of that. The fuel efficiency of this engine will about 60 km/l. At the moment, even the Splendor iSmart 110 has an efficiency of about 68 km/l, so we expect the 125cc to be a bit lower.

Hero Glamour 125cc Ride and Handling

Hero never intended the Glamour to be your sports bike. What it is supposed to do is take you from one place to another with least maintenance, comfortable ride and exceptional mileage and that is exactly what the Glamour has been doing and will continue to do. It’s 125 kgs weight makes it light and extremely rideable in city traffic. The 4 gears won’t let you attain much speed but reduces the amount of gear shifts as they have a taller ratio. Bad undulations and potholes are smoothly taken care off. I am truly surprised Hero continues to work magic with the suspension at this cost.
