Hero Destini

Tuesday, 22 August 2023 02:10 AM

Hero Motocorp continued the trend by releasing a new, more affordable version of the Hero Destini 125 scooter in our domestic market. This recently announced Hero Destini 125 Prime model has an ex-showroom price of Rs 71,499 (approximately). The high-end Hero Destini 125 Xtec VX model, on the other hand, costs Rs 85,738 (ex-showroom). As a result, the recently released Hero Destini 125 Prime is over Rs 14,000 cheaper than the bike in its highest-specified configuration. 
 

Thursday, 14 November 2024 07:36 PM The Hero Destini 125 is set to launch on December 14, 2024, with several exciting updates. The scooter features a new design, including an LED headlight with a projector setup and H-shaped LED Daytime Running Lamps. It also boasts a larger seat, 12-inch alloy wheels, and improved suspension for better stability. The engine, though the same 124.6 cc unit, has been retuned for better fuel efficiency and rideability, achieving 59 kmpl. I think these updates make the Destini 125 a strong contender in the 125cc scooter segment.

Friday, 13 September 2024 01:05 PM Hero MotoCorp has made significant improvements to the 2024 Hero Destini 125, including a new frame taken from the Hero Xoom 110, which enhances stability. The scooter features a disc brake on the mid-spec ZX and top ZX+ trims, along with an engine cut-off feature in case of a crash. The top variants also get a fully digital LCD cluster with smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation. I think these safety features are a big plus.

Thursday, 12 September 2024 08:13 AM The 2024 Hero Destini 125 has received a major design overhaul, with a sleek and modern apron design and neatly-shaped side panels. The scooter retains the same 124.6 cc engine but has been tuned for improved fuel efficiency and rideability. It also features an illuminated start switch, boot lamp, and auto-cancel winkers. The higher variants come with a backrest for the pillion as an additional accessory.

Tuesday, 10 September 2024 06:25 PM Hero MotoCorp is expected to price the 2024 Hero Destini 125 around Rs. 90,000 for the base variant, with the top variants likely to be priced Rs. 4,000-6,000 higher. The scooter is set to compete with the Suzuki Access 125, Honda Activa 125, and TVS Jupiter 125. With its refreshed design and updated features, it looks like Hero is serious about capturing a larger share of the 125cc scooter market.

Monday, 09 September 2024 02:50 AM Hero MotoCorp has unveiled the 2024 Hero Destini 125 with a completely refreshed design and enhanced features. The scooter is available in three variants: VX, ZX, and ZX+, and comes in five color options. It features an LED headlight, auto-cancel turn indicators, and a fully digital LCD display with Bluetooth connectivity on the top variant. The scooter also includes turn-by-turn navigation, a first for a 125cc scooter. I believe this tech upgrade will attract a lot of young buyers.

Monday, 09 September 2024 12:25 AM The 2024 Hero Destini 125 boasts improved handling and ride quality, thanks to its new 12-inch alloy wheels and revised suspension tune. The scooter feels nimble around corners and stays planted at high speeds, inspiring confidence. The engine is smooth with minimal vibrations, and the CVT gearbox has been retuned for better performance. I believe this makes it a great option for daily commuting.

Sunday, 08 September 2024 12:15 AM The new Hero Destini 125 Xtec has been optimized with a new platform, increasing the wheelbase by 57 mm and introducing sharper rake. This scooter now rides on 12-inch alloy wheels and features an external fuel-filler tank for added convenience. The design is more modern, with copper-chrome inserts and H-shaped DRLs around the LED headlight. Hero claims it has the largest seat in the segment and best-in-class fuel efficiency of 59 kmpl.

Sunday, 08 September 2024 01:45 AM Hero MotoCorp has emphasized the comfort and practicality of the 2024 Hero Destini 125, highlighting its longest-in-segment seat and improved ergonomics. The scooter also features a semi-digital instrument cluster in the base and mid-spec variants, while the top variant gets a fully digital LCD display. This focus on comfort and technology could make it a favorite among family scooter buyers.

Saturday, 07 September 2024 06:50 AM The new Hero Destini 125 Xtec includes several convenience features such as an external fuel-filler tank, mobile connectivity via Bluetooth, and turn-by-turn navigation. The top variant also comes with a backrest for the pillion, which can be purchased as an accessory for lower variants. These features make the scooter more appealing to a wider audience.

Friday, 06 September 2024 08:31 AM Hero MotoCorp has confirmed that the 2024 Hero Destini 125 will have i3s technology to aid fuel efficiency, which cuts off the engine when idling and restarts it when the rider presses the brakes and twists the throttle. However, it lacks a silent starter, which would have made the i3s operation smoother. I think this is a minor oversight in an otherwise well-rounded package.
