Monday, 18 September 2023 05:47 AM

Hero MotoCorp will soon update its India portfolio with the launch of the Glamour 125 BS6 Phase-2. In fact, this new version of the motorcycle has already been spotted, and thus we expect to hear a launch announcement very soon. This new variant of the Glamour 125 will comply with the OBD2 emission standards and E20 fuel requirements. Meanwhile, the styling will remain unchanged, and the upcoming Glamour 125 will retain a single-pod headlight a muscular fuel tank with shrouds, a single-piece seat, a single-piece grab-rail, and alloy wheels on both ends. The hardware will comprise telescopic front forks and twin rear springs to handle the shock absorption tasks. 

Wednesday, 28 August 2024 08:22 PM The 2024 Hero Glamour has been launched in India with several updates, including new color options and features. The bike now comes in four colors: Black Sports Red, Candy Blazing Red, Black Techno Blue, and the new ‘Black Metallic Silver’ with a triple-tone finish. It also features an LED headlamp, hazard lights, and a new engine start/stop switch. Prices start at Rs 83,598 for the drum brake variant and go up to Rs 86,598 for the disc brake variant. I think these updates make the Glamour a more appealing option in the commuter segment.
Wednesday, 28 August 2024 09:38 PM The 2024 Hero Glamour features a fully digital instrument console with a blue backlight, which includes a speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, and trip meter, along with a real-time mileage readout. This console enhances the bikes modern appeal and provides riders with all the necessary information at a glance. I think this digital console is a significant upgrade for the Glamour.
Wednesday, 28 August 2024 11:57 AM Hero Glamours engine and underpinnings remain unchanged, with the same 125cc air-cooled engine delivering 10.87PS and 10.6Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The bike rides on 18-inch alloy wheels with 80-section front and 100-section rear tubeless tires, ensuring a smooth ride. I believe the unchanged engine specs will provide consistent performance that existing users are familiar with.
Wednesday, 28 August 2024 10:09 AM The 2024 Hero Glamour has been equipped with a USB charging port, a convenient feature for riders who need to keep their devices charged on the go. This addition, along with the hazard light feature and start/stop switch, makes the Glamour more user-friendly.
Friday, 23 August 2024 09:41 AM Hero MotoCorp has introduced the 2024 Hero Glamour 125 with a new Black Metallic Silver paint scheme, along with the existing colors. The bike retains its mechanical specifications, including a 125cc air-cooled engine producing 10.68 bhp and 10.6 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The Glamour also features a fully digital instrument console, a USB charging port, and Heros i3S system for improved fuel efficiency.
Friday, 23 August 2024 06:34 PM The 2024 Hero Glamour comes equipped with enhanced safety features, including an optional 240mm front disc brake and a 130mm rear drum brake. It also boasts a hazard light feature, which is a welcome addition for commuter bikes. The bikes braking performance is complemented by telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. I believe these safety upgrades will make the Glamour more attractive to safety-conscious buyers.
Friday, 23 August 2024 10:35 PM Hero Glamours design has been slightly tweaked with the addition of chequered body graphics and black and grey accents, which complement the new color schemes. The bike retains its overall design but looks more vibrant with these new graphics. The LED headlamp and bulb-type tail light and indicators add to its modern look.
Friday, 23 August 2024 01:13 PM The 2024 Hero Glamour continues to compete in the 125cc commuter bike segment, going up against rivals like the Honda Shine 125, Bajaj Pulsar 125, and TVS Raider 125. Despite the competition, the Glamours updated features and color options are expected to help it maintain its market share. I think the Glamours balance of features and price will keep it a strong contender.
Friday, 23 August 2024 05:32 AM Hero MotoCorp has priced the 2024 Hero Glamour competitively, with the drum brake variant starting at Rs 83,598 and the disc brake variant at Rs 86,598. This pricing strategy is aimed at attracting budget-conscious buyers who are looking for a reliable commuter bike. The slight price increase over the previous model is justified by the new features and color options.
Friday, 23 August 2024 02:26 PM Hero MotoCorps decision to retain the same mechanicals for the 2024 Hero Glamour suggests a focus on reliability and cost-effectiveness. The bikes proven engine and chassis ensure that it remains a reliable choice for daily commuting. I think this approach will appeal to buyers looking for a hassle-free riding experience.

Hero Glamour Review

03 Jun, 2016 06:47 PM

Quick Review by Maxabout Team

Hero Glamour is the most successful 125cc bike of Hero. This bike is also available with Fuel Injection technology. After the separation from Honda, Hero has recently launched the upgraded version of this bike. Let’s know more about these changes.

Design and Style

The most noticeable changes are made to the front styling of this bike. It now features a new tinted visor and sleek cowl which goes really well with its new crystal clear headlight and clear lens indicators. To complement, the new model features body coloured rear view mirrors. Its alloy wheels, engine, front leg guard and silencer are painted with black colour. Rear styling is also slightly tweaked with new indicators and fender. Glamour gets new graphics and tank shrouds with FI written on it which adds sporty character to this bike. The long and stepped up seat on this bike also looks fine. Despite these changes, we still don’t think it looks as sporty as its other rivals including recently launched Bajaj Discover125. However, it looks better than before but more or less; it’s like the other commuter bikes. This bike is not as glamorous as its name but certainly has acceptable looks.

Instrument Console

Hero Glamour has a very trendy analogue-digital combo meter console. It features an analogue speedometer with digital trip meter and fuel gauge. Real time mileage indicator is a new feature added to this bike to check its fuel efficiency. There are also other indicators on this console and the LCD uses orange back light for display.

Engine and Gearbox

The new model uses the same 124.7cc engine which is available with carburettor and Fuel injection technology. It’s an air-cooled, 4-stroke, OHC engine which is capable of yielding a power output of 9.1 bhp at 7000 rpm. Its torque output of 10.35 Nm is achievable at 4000rpm. This engine is mated with a four speed manual gearbox with all gears up-shift pattern.

Acceleration and Performance

The biggest problem with this bike continues with its less powerful engine. This engine only pumps out 9.1 bhp which is very less in comparison to its other rivals. The bike is surely not an enthusiast and it gets clear as soon as you get on to this bike. The power to weight ratios is not impressive and that’s quite visible in city traffic. Throttle response is slow and lazy as this bike takes over 7.5 seconds to reach 0-60km/ltr. The power band is also very short and there is not pretty much left in this bike after 5000 rpm. Once you take this bike on highways, you can sense the need of a fifth gear. The taller gear ratios delay the power output. In city traffic also you will have to adapt yourself to this bike for optimum utilization. Sadly, the technical specifications are same in the FI variant and you can hardly notice the benefit of this technology. There is slight different in the throttle response which can easily be neglected. When rev hard, the bike feels thirsty for power and it’s a major setback for this bike. However, you will be glad with its refinement and stability. There are no signs of vibration and the gear transitions are also smooth. If you push Glamour really hard then it can reach the top speed of 100km/hr.

Mileage

Hero Glamour’s fuel efficiency is the best thing about this bike. In city, you can expect this bike to return a fuel efficiency of around 60 kmpl while on long runs it may return you a mileage of around 70 kmpl. Its fuel efficiency increases by 5-6km/ltr with the help of FI technology.

Comfort While Driving

Hero Glamour is a commuter bike which is designed to give you optimum comfort. It has very well padded seat which is very comfortable. Foot pegs are also set in a way to give you a relaxed posture with perfect grip of handlebar. The buttons on its handlebar are also easy to use.

Storage Space and Safety Features

There is storage space under its seat and it also has a bag hook near the rear fender. It has front leg guard for safety.

Suspension and Brakes

According to the weight of this bike, it has an adequate suspension system which is capable enough to give you comfortable rides. It features telescopic front forks while it has hydraulic shock absorbers at the back. Apart from the optional front disc brake of 240mm, its standard variant features drum brakes of 130mm on its both wheels.

Ride and Handling

Hero Glamour has a very light handling and that’s quite efficient in city traffic. One can easily use this bike and the bike feels very stable also. Suspension system is not best in class but it’s quite capable to impress you on our Indian roads. However its low ground clearance of 150mm can bother you as big potholes and speed breakers don’t let it go easily. Its tyres stick firmly to the road and give you extra confidence on highways. The bike has no sporty characteristics and it’s quite clear around corners. Its wheelbase (1265mm) provides less stability in comparison to others and it feels really scary around corners and at high speeds.

Tyre Size

This bike sports 5-spoke 18 inch alloy wheels.

Variants

Hero Glamour is available in four variants: Glamour, Glamour Disc, Glamour Fi and Glamour Fi Disc.

Shades

Hero Honda has launched new Glamour in five attractive dual-tone shades: Black with vibrant orange, Black with tornado grey metallic, Black with frost blue metallic, Black with sports red and Candy blazing red.

Verdict

Hero Glamour is a well-built bike with a very refined and silent engine. Yes, it’s not powerful but you get an incredible fuel efficiency which makes it extremely economical. The ride and handling is also very comfortable. Similar to other FI bikes, its FI variant is not successful in India. You will have to pay around 10K more for its FI variant which makes no sense as it has similar specifications and it will be hard for you to spend extra money for slightly better fuel economy. If you can compromise on power then you can always opt for its regular variant which is perfect for daily usage and comes with the trust of India’s largest selling two wheeler manufacturer.
