Our take on this /// Verdict
The Hero Glamour Fi Disc (Old Model) is a mixed bag when it comes to overall performance and value. While it was a pioneering model in India as the first fuel-injected motorcycle, its execution has been somewhat lacking. The bikes 124.8cc engine, though refined, produces only 9 BHP, which is underwhelming compared to other 125cc bikes in the market. The fuel injection system does provide excellent fuel efficiency, but it comes at a higher maintenance cost, which might deter some buyers. The bikes design, though stylish with its aerodynamic styling and split-spoke alloys, feels slightly over-styled in some areas. However, it offers a comfortable riding position, well-tuned suspension, and decent braking with its 240mm front disc brake. Overall, while it has its strengths in terms of fuel efficiency and comfort, it falls short in terms of power and maintenance costs, making it a less compelling choice for those seeking more performance.
Price
The 2016 Hero Glamour Fi Disc (Old Model) was priced at around Rs 63,580 ex-showroom in India before it was discontinued. When considering the on-road price, you would need to add costs such as registration, insurance, and other local taxes, which could push the price up to around Rs 75,000 to Rs 80,000. This pricing is somewhat steep for a 125cc bike, especially when compared to other models in the same segment that offer similar or better performance at a lower cost. However, the price reflects the advanced fuel injection technology and the overall build quality of the bike.
Mileage
