I still remember when bikes like the Hero Glamour first hit Indian roads. For many of us, it wasn’t just a commuter — it was a dependable partner for everyday rides, a machine that balanced style with mileage. Now, seeing the new Hero Glamour X 125 coming with futuristic features that we could only dream of in a budget-friendly motorcycle, I can’t help but feel excited. The way this bike has been teased and now leaked before launch makes me believe we are about to witness something that could change the face of 125cc motorcycles in India.
Futuristic Design With Fresh Appeal
The Hero Glamour X 125 is not just another commuter upgrade; it looks sharper, more premium, and comes with features you’d expect on bigger, more expensive bikes. The leaked images show a stylish fuel tank with muscular shrouds, sporty body graphics, and an overall modern stance. LED headlights and LED indicators give it that new-age character, while alloy wheels and an updated chassis setup add to its visual appeal. I’ve seen commuter bikes for years, but this one feels different, like Hero MotoCorp is trying to redefine what a 125cc commuter should look like.
Segment-First Features
What truly sets the Hero Glamour X 125 apart is the introduction of cruise control. Honestly, I never imagined a feature like this making its way to a 125cc commuter. It’s something we only hear about in premium motorcycles, and bringing it to the budget segment is a bold move by Hero. The bike also comes with a new fully digital colour TFT instrument cluster, similar to the Xtreme 250, packed with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and even a Type-C charging port. These are features that make daily commuting easier and more enjoyable, and it shows Hero wants to give riders more than just mileage.
Engine and Performance
Under the tank, the Hero Glamour X 125 is expected to carry forward the familiar 124.7cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. This motor produces around 10.39 bhp and 10.6 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The leaks suggest the possibility of an electronic ride-by-wire throttle, and if that’s true, the performance delivery will feel much smoother than the older models. There’s also talk about a slipper clutch, which would be another first for this commuter class. From what I’ve seen, Hero wants the Glamour X not only to deliver daily reliability but also to feel modern and refined when you ride it.
Rider Comfort and Modes
The Glamour X 125 isn’t just about flashy features; it’s also about how it feels when you’re on the road. Leaked details point towards three riding modes — Eco, Road, and Power. This kind of versatility in a commuter is unheard of and will help riders manage both performance and fuel efficiency. Add to that the telescopic suspension, a comfortable single-piece seat, and a small under-seat storage box, and you get a bike that’s practical yet premium.
Mileage and Everyday Usability
Mileage has always been Hero’s strongest point, and with the Glamour X 125, I expect nothing less. While the official figures are yet to be revealed, this bike should easily deliver the kind of fuel economy Indian riders look for in the 125cc class. Coupled with features like a gear shift indicator tuned for efficiency and riding modes, the Glamour X seems designed to stretch every drop of fuel without compromising on performance.
Expected Price and Launch
Hero has confirmed the launch of the Glamour X 125 on August 19, 2025, and the expected price range is between Rs 95,000 and Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom). This positions it perfectly against strong rivals like the TVS Raider 125 and Honda CB125 Hornet. I feel this bike could easily attract young commuters who want more than just mileage and are looking for technology and style in their daily rides.
