      2026 Hero Glamour 125 Spied – Gets Cruise Control, New Cluster

      by

      2026 Hero Glamour 125 SpiedCommuter motorcycles are usually not the first to get cutting-edge features—especially those found in flagship models. But Hero MotoCorp seems to be rewriting that script. The brand is currently testing what appears to be the next-gen Hero Glamour 125, and it surprisingly features cruise control—a feature even the company’s flagship Mavrick 440 doesn’t offer yet.
      2026 Hero Glamour 125 Spotted on Test
      While cruise control might seem like a feature better suited to the Mavrick 440, the Xpulse 210, or the upcoming Xpulse 440 (unofficial name), Hero is testing it on a budget commuter. The test mule—believed to be the 2026 Glamour 125—was spotted with full camouflage, which interestingly looks more like brown duct tape than traditional test covers.
      2026 Hero Glamour 125 Spied
      The inclusion of cruise control on this test bike hints that Hero might be adapting a similar system to what’s already available on its Vida electric scooters. And although there’s no official confirmation, the test unit’s fuel tank lid matches that of the current Glamour 125, and sources familiar with the project confirm it is indeed the next-gen Glamour.
      What Does the Test Mule Reveal?
      The spied motorcycle bears all the trademarks of a budget commuter: basic triple-tree setup, conventional RSU telescopic forks, commuter-style foot pegs, saree guard, fully-enclosed chain cover, single-piece seat, and a functional rear grab rail. It’s clearly designed for daily usability.
      2026 Hero Glamour 125 Spied
      That said, there are several upgrades over the current Glamour 125. These include:
      – LED turn indicators– Fully digital color LCD instrument cluster (possibly borrowed from the Xtreme 250)– Updated switchgear– Cruise control system
      Powering the motorcycle is likely to be the same 124.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine producing 10.7 bhp and 10.6 Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
      2026 Hero Glamour 125 Spied
      Why This Is a Big Deal
      Hero’s decision to test cruise control on a 125cc commuter rather than reserving it for premium models indicates a shift in how technology trickles through its lineup. If this system is being validated successfully, expect to see cruise control on more premium Hero bikes like the Xpulse 210, Mavrick 440, Xtreme 250R, and even the upcoming Xoom 160 scooter.
      When launched, the 2026 Hero Glamour 125 will compete against other premium 125cc commuters such as the TVS Raider 125 and the soon to be launched Honda CB125 Hornet. There’s no confirmed launch timeline yet, nor do we know if this version is intended for the Indian market. Stay tuned for more updates as testing continues. More

      2025 Yezdi Roadster Spied Ahead Of 12th Aug Launch – New Details

      by

      2025 Yezdi Roadster Spied Ahead Of LaunchWhile receiving multiple design updates, the new Yezdi Roadster will remain mechanically unchanged for the most part
      Following the launch of 2025 Yezdi Adventure, it’s now the turn of Yezdi Roadster to receive new updates. The 2025 version is scheduled to debut on 12th August. Ahead of that, test mule spy shots reveal some interesting details about the potential changes. Let’s take a closer look.
      2025 Yezdi Roadster – Key changes
      Primary design changes are with tail lamp and turn indicators been moved up, integrated with the rear section of the seat assembly. Rear fender has been chopped off, likely to give the motorcycle a more compact and agile-looking profile. This necessitates the registration number plate to be mounted on the swingarm.
      While the test vehicle does not have a pillion backrest, it could be offered as an accessory. In the spy shot, it also appears that the pillion seat is smaller in size. This change could be aimed at achieving a cruiser-like look and feel. There can be other updates as well, but these are not evident since the image only captures the rear section.
      2025 Yezdi Roadster continues with the dual exhaust setup and round rear-view mirrors. Tail lamp and turn indicators with the current model have a round shape. Since the 2025 Yezdi Roadster gets sharper indicators at the rear, a similar treatment can be expected at the front as well.
      Current Yezdi Roadster
      Other retro features will be carried forward such as the round headlamp and circular instrument dial. The features list of Yezdi Roadster varies based on the variant. For example, the Chrome variants see liberal use of metallic finish on the rear-view mirrors, engine, exhaust and rear suspension.
      In comparison, the Dark and dual-tone variants have these parts in a blacked-out finish. While the Yezdi Roadster already offers ample colour options, its visuals could be further enhanced with the addition of bold new graphics. A similar approach was seen with select variants of the 2025 Yezdi Adventure.
      Specs, performance
      There are unlikely to be any major changes to the hardware. Powering the bike is a 334 cc, single cylinder, liquid cooled, DOHC engine. It generates 29 PS and 29.40 Nm of peak torque and is paired with a constant mesh, 6-speed gearbox. Similar to the recently launched 2025 Yezdi Adventure, the engine of the updated Roadster can see optimizations to its gear ratios and fuel mapping. Primary objective would be to achieve a smoother ride experience and potentially some gains in fuel efficiency.
      Current Yezdi Roadster Colour Options
      Yezdi Roadster uses a double cradle frame, with 41 mm telescopic front forks. At the rear, the bike has gas-filled twin shock absorbers with 5-step adjustable preload. Wheel setup is 18-inch front and 17-inch rear, wrapped in 100/90 and 130/80 tubeless tyres, respectively. Braking setup comprises 320 mm and 240 discs at front and rear, with dual-channel ABS. The bike has a seat height of 790 mm, useful for enhanced control and agile manoeuvres.
      2025 Yezdi Adventure could see a slight bump in its pricing. The current model is available at a starting price of Rs 2.11 lakh. Updated Yezdi Roadster will continue to rival the likes of Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Honda H’ness CB350. Yezdi will also be launching the 2025 Yezdi Scrambler on 12th August.

      Hero Karizma XMR Base Variant De-Listed From Website – Discontinued?

      by

      Hero Karizma XMR 210
      Despite having a lot of potential, Hero Karizma XMR 210 continues to be an underrated motorcycle in India. This supersport machine packs a sporty design, attractive colourways, impressive equipment and came at an attractive price point of Rs 1.81 lakh (Ex-sh) for the base ‘Base’ variant.
      We said came instead of comes because Hero has de-listed this base ‘Base’ variant from the website, hinting at a possible discontinuation. As per data available from Hero website, Karizma XMR 210 now starts from Rs 2 lakh (Ex-sh) for the top ‘Top’ variant which packs all the bells and whistles. Let’s take a closer look.
      2025 Hero Karizma XMR 210 Combat Edition
      Hero Karizma XMR Base Variant
      Just a couple of months ago, Hero MotoCorp updated Karizma XMR 210’s ‘Top’ variant with improved features. We’re talking about a new fully digital colour TFT instrument cluster which is similar to the one seen on Xpulse 210. This cluster comes equipped with Bluetooth and a host of features including music control and turn-by-turn navigation.
      Also, componentry saw a major upgrade as the 2025 Karizma XMR 210 ‘Top’ variant came equipped with USD telescopic front forks that are finished in a lovely Gold shade. This was a much-needed upgrade for Karizma to fully unlock its potential as a supersport machine.
      2025 Hero Karizma Updated – Top Variant Colours
      We’re mentioning these because this is the new identity of Karizma XMR 210 as the previously offered ‘Base’ variant seems to have been discontinued. Priced at Rs 1.81 lakh (Ex-sh), this base variant packed RSU telescopic front forks and its older LCD instrument cluster which was functional, but lacklustre.
      One Fully-Loaded Variant
      With this move, Hero Karizma XMR 210’s pricing starts from Rs 2 lakh (Ex-sh) and there is only one fully loaded top-spec ‘Top’ trim level to choose from. Colour options are Iconic Yellow, Turbo Red and Phantom Black. Hero also offers a special edition with Karizma XMR 210 ‘Top’ called Combat Edition which costs Rs 2.02 lakh (Ex-sh).
      2025 Hero Karizma Updated TFT Instrument Cluster
      The discontinuation of ‘Base’ variant is likely to streamline Karizma customers’ buying decision as there are no variants anymore. All bells and whistles are now standard. Karizma XMR 210 continues with the same liquid-cooled DOHC 4V/cyl engine that is capable of generating 25.5 PS of peak power and 20.4 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox.

      Hero HF Deluxe Pro LaunchedBy introducing new versions at regular intervals, Hero MotoCorp has strengthened its dominance in the 100cc motorcycle segment
      In the entry-level commuter motorcycle segment, Hero MotoCorp has a range of options such as Splendor+ and XTEC variants, Passion+, HF Deluxe and HF 100. Hero has now introduced another great option in the form of HF Deluxe Pro. Launched at Rs 73,550 (Ex-sh), HF Deluxe Pro is more accessible than the best selling Splendor+ and comes with distinctive features. Let’s check out the details.
      Hero HF Deluxe Pro – What’s special?
      One of the key highlights is a segment-first LED headlamp with crown-shaped high-intensity position lamp. In addition to being functionally relevant by ensuring enhanced illumination, the LED headlamp also complements the bike’s visual appeal. Another important update is an advanced digital speedometer.
      Hero HF Deluxe Pro Launched
      This is a premium feature, as compared to the analogue meter seen with Splendor+. It becomes even more relevant since the HF Deluxe Pro is available at a lower price point than Splendor+. Shape of the digital speedometer used for HF Deluxe Pro is the same as that of Splendor+ XTEC and Splendor+ XTEC 2.0.
      It could have the same internals, but the user interface has been refreshed. The speedometer is displayed in the centre, whereas the odometer is placed at the centre bottom. Other indicators such as neutral and i3S are placed on the left, whereas turn indicators, low fuel indicator, etc. are placed on the right. The digital speedometer has an all-black border trim, as compared to the chrome finish seen with XTEC and XTEC 2.0.
      Hero HF Deluxe Pro Colours
      New colours, sportier graphics
      As compared to the standard version, the HF Deluxe Pro gets more distinctive graphics. These have sharper lines and come across as more impactful. The updated graphics give the bike a cleaner look by reducing visual clutter. Hero has also introduced four new colour options with the HF Deluxe Pro. In broad terms, these can be classified as dual-tone shades of red, yellow, silver and blue.
      HF Deluxe Pro also focuses on using an exciting mix of black and chrome elements. The blacked-out treatment can be seen across the alloy wheels, engine and grab rail. This heightened contrast theme helps achieve a sportier profile for HF Deluxe Pro.
      Hero HF Deluxe Pro Headlight
      Specs, performance
      Hardware specs of HF Deluxe Pro are the same as the standard variant. The bike has large 18-inch wheels at both ends, wrapped with tubeless tyres.

      Royal Enfield Sales Breakup June 2025 – YoY
      At the top of the sales chart is Classic 350, which continues to be the brand’s best-seller. It recorded 29,172 units in June 2025, up 17.61% YoY from 24,803 units and 1.9% MoM from May 2025. Bullet 350 posted a significant jump in year-on-year sales, with 17,092 units sold in June 2025, up by 77.86% from 9,610 units last year.

      Royal Enfield Sales Breakup June 2025 – MoM
      Super Meteor 650, Royal Enfield’s premium cruiser, recorded 1,012 units, down 53.68% YoY from 2,185 units but up 18.92% MoM from 851 units in May 2025.

The growth was largely driven by the strong performance of its 350cc motorcycles and the addition of new models like the Guerrilla 450 and Shotgun 650.
      Royal Enfield Sales Breakup Q2 2025 – YoY
      At the top, Classic 350 remained the brand’s best-selling model, with 84,601 units sold in Q2 2025 — an 8.38% YoY increase over 78,058 units in Q2 2024.

      Hunter 350 also continued its consistent run with 50,342 units, growing by 7.39% from 46,879 units in the same quarter last year. On the other hand, Meteor 350 saw a decline of 13.44% YoY, dropping to 22,856 units from 26,406 units, possibly due to overlapping price points or changing buyer preferences.
      Royal Enfield’s 650 Twins (Interceptor and Continental GT) saw a steady rise, posting 8,740 units, an 11.52% YoY growth over 7,837 units sold in Q2 2024. Among adventure and touring models, Himalayan registered a significant 43.61% YoY drop, selling only 5,240 units compared to 9,293 units last year, potentially due to supply constraints or customer shift to newer models.
      Super Meteor 650, RE’s premium cruiser, also saw a decline with 2,831 units sold, down 31.05% YoY from 4,106 units. Recent entries like the Guerrilla 450 and Shotgun 650 contributed 2,651 units and 658 units respectively in Q2 2025, boosting overall volumes and expanding Royal Enfield’s portfolio across segments.
