Our take on this /// Verdict
The Hero Destini 125 100 Million Edition is a mixed bag when it comes to overall performance and user experience. On the positive side, the scooter boasts a stylish and exclusive red and white dual-tone paint scheme, which certainly enhances its visual appeal. The addition of the 100 Million Limited Edition logo and red floorboard adds a touch of exclusivity. However, several users have reported issues with the scooters performance, such as poor pickup, starting problems, and reliability concerns with the i3s technology. The handling and fuel efficiency also seem to be below par compared to other scooters in the same segment. While Hero MotoCorp has made efforts to improve aesthetics and features, the mechanical aspects and overall reliability need significant attention. If you are looking for a scooter with strong performance and reliability, you might want to consider other options, but if aesthetics and exclusivity are your priorities, the Destini 125 100 Million Edition could be a consideration.
Price
The Hero Destini 125 100 Million Edition is priced at Rs. 72,250 ex-showroom in Delhi, making it the most expensive variant in the Destini 125 lineup. When it comes to on-road pricing, you can expect to add around Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 7,000 for registration, insurance, and other costs, bringing the total to approximately Rs. 77,250 to Rs. 79,250. While the price is competitive within the 125cc scooter segment, the value for money is questionable given the performance and reliability issues reported by some users. If you are willing to pay a premium for the exclusive design and limited edition badges, then this might be a good choice, but otherwise, there are more cost-effective and reliable options available in the market.

Hero MotoCorp achieved the significant milestone of producing 100 million vehicles, with the final unit being an Xtreme 160R model rolled out from their Haridwar manufacturing facility.

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.
