The Hero Glamour X 125 is redefining the premium commuter motorcycle segment in India with its blend of smart technology, advanced features, and bold design. Introduced in August 2025, this model draws attention with innovations usually reserved for higher-end bikes, making it a versatile choice for daily riders and city adventurers.
Hero Glamour X Design and Features
Hero Glamour X showcases a muscular and athletic style with edgy tank shrouds, a sharp front fascia, and a robust stance enhanced by deep body creases and modern graphics. The bike rides on 18-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, and features full-LED lighting throughout—headlamp, indicators, and tail-light—improving visibility and upping the premium quotient.
Central to its technological upgrade is the segment-first cruise control system, operated via a dedicated handlebar toggle, allowing you to set and maintain speed for stress-free highway rides. The 4.21-inch color TFT instrument cluster offers Bluetooth connectivity with 60+ functions, including turn-by-turn navigation, adaptive display brightness, gear-position indicator, call/SMS alerts, and a USB Type-C charging port. This digital console marks a leap in rider convenience and connectivity for the segment.
Other significant firsts include ride-by-wire throttle technology and three selectable riding modes—Eco, Road, and Power—each optimizing engine response for fuel efficiency or performance based on demand. Additional safety and practical features are low battery kick-start ability (thanks to Advanced Electronic Ride Assist or AERA) and a panic brake alert, which flashes the indicators during sudden braking for extra visibility.
Hero Glamour X Engine and Performance
The Glamour X borrows its engine from the Hero Xtreme 125R: a 124.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected motor generating 11.4 bhp at 8,250 rpm and 10.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The five-speed gearbox and ride-by-wire system enable smoother throttle response and gear shifts. Designed for both city commutes and short highway rides, this engine offers impressively refined NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) levels thanks to features like a silent cam chain and balancer shaft. Hero claims an outstanding fuel efficiency of 65 km/l, making it a top pick for cost-conscious riders.
A bass-heavy exhaust note provides a sporty auditory experience, adding character without disturbing the urban environment.
Hero Glamour X Comfort and Handling
With a kerb weight of 127 kg, a seat height of 790 mm, and a 10-liter fuel tank, the Glamour X strikes a comfortable balance for a wide range of riders, offering both stability and ease of maneuverability. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front forks and 5-step adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear, providing a well-damped ride over city streets and uneven roads.
Hero Glamour X Safety, Variants, and Colors
Hero Glamour X is offered in two variants:
– Drum (Matt Magnetic Silver, Candy Blazing Red)
– Disc (Metallic Nexus Blue, Black Teal Blue, Black Pearl Red)
Both get alloy wheels, tubeless tyres, and a combined braking system for enhanced safety. The disc variant adds sharper stopping power for those who want more control.
Hero Glamour X Pricing and Value
The Hero Glamour X starts at ₹89,999 for the Drum variant, with the Disc variant costing ₹99,999 (all ex-showroom Delhi). Hero’s reputation for reliability, strong dealer network, and reasonable ownership costs further reinforce the Glamour X’s value proposition.
