Our take on this /// Verdict
The 2024 Hero Destini 125 XTEC, particularly with its alloy wheels, marks a significant upgrade over its predecessor. The new model features 12-inch alloy wheels, a notable improvement from the 10-inch alloys of the older version. This change, coupled with a slightly extended wheelbase of 1302mm, enhances the scooters handling, comfort, and stability. The larger wheels and wider tyres make the Destini more sure-footed, especially when navigating corners or riding on uneven roads. The addition of disc brakes in the ZX and ZX variants further boosts braking performance, making it a safer and more confident ride. Overall, the new alloy wheels and other updates make the Destini 125 XTEC a more appealing and practical choice for everyday commuting.

The 2024 Hero Destini 125 is expected to be priced between Rs 85,000 to Rs 90,000 (ex-showroom), making it competitive with other family-oriented scooters like the TVS Jupiter 125 and Honda Activa 125.

It's very good when it comes to performance and also I think the mileage provided by this scooter is also amazing. There are no such big grievances about this scooter. The seating at the back is also something to be appreciated. The only issue with this scooter that I have found so far is that it doesn't have any side stand that actually degrades the experience, this needs to be taken into consideration by the makers.
