    Hero Glamour X Details Leak Before Launch – Cruise Control, New TFT Screen

    New Hero Glamour X Details LeakHero MotoCorp is India’s de facto motorcycle manufacturer, all thanks to its vastly successful commuter bikes. The company has had a good run and is now working on their next generation 125cc commuter bike. Ahead of launch, details of this upcoming next gen 125cc commuter have been leaked, revealing interesting details. Let’s take a closer look.
    Hero Glamour X 125 Details Leak
    For starters, the new leaked video reveals the name of Hero MotoCorp’s upcoming commuter motorcycle. Glamour X. That’s what Hero is calling their next generation 125cc commuter bike. The company assures that Glamour X will be India’s most futuristic 125cc 2W offering.
    New Hero Glamour X Fuel Tank
    The claim might very well be true as Hero Glamour X is set to debut Cruise Control feature, which is unheard of in this 125cc commuter space. In fact, Cruise Control is unheard of even in sporty and premium 125cc motorcycles. Also, Glamour X is the first ever motorcycle from Hero MotoCorp to offer Cruise Control, which is quite a statement.
    New Hero Glamour X Cruise Control
    In latest leaks, we can see a toggle on right hand switchgear that operates Cruise Control features, which is unusual for a 125cc budget commuter. However, it could be a speed limiter function as well. Either way, an electronic throttle (ride-by-wire) is highly likely to be on this motorcycle.
    New Hero Glamour X LED Headlights, Indicators
    What else is new?
    While Cruise Control is the star of this show, other notable elements seen with Hero Glamour X include a new fully digital instrument cluster, which seems to be a colour LCD panel, similar to the one seen on Karizma XMR 210 Base variant and Xtreme 250R. There are tell-tale lights flanking this screen and there seems to be an gear shift light as well, probably tuned to eke out maximum fuel efficiency.

    This cluster might pack less features than Xtreme 250R. It is likely to support connected features via Bluetooth like notification alerts and turn-by-turn navigation. Also, Hero is offering a Type-C port on Glamour X, a first ever for a Hero MotoCorp bike. We can see LED turn indicators and one can expect a stylistic fuel tank with muscular tank shrouds too.
    New Hero Glamour X Engine
    Other notable elements include an upmarket-looking alloy wheel design, a front disc brake setup, telescopic front suspension, an engine kill-switch, full LED headlight and tail lights and an updated switchgear on left side to operate this new LCD screen. Hero seems to have employed an underbone chassis with Glamour X.

    Powering Hero Glamour X could be the same 124.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine with a peak power of 10.39 bhp and peak torque of 10.4 Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Considering there is an electronic ride-by-wire throttle and the ‘Most Futuristic 125cc’ promise, we can expect a slipper clutch too. Launch is tomorrow on 19th August, 2025. More

    Hero Teased India’s Most Futuristic 125cc 2W Vehicle
    The largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, Hero MotoCorp, seems to be upping its game commuter in India. The maker of Splendor commuter bike, has just teased a new vehicle that is promised to be India’s most futuristic 125cc 2W. All fingers are pointing towards the probable launch of 2025 Glamour 125 with Cruise Control feature. Let’s take a closer look.
    Hero To Launch India’s Most Futuristic 125cc
    The 125cc segment in India holds stark importance among 2W manufacturers. Especially where motorcycles are concerned, which holds immense sales potential. This is the segment where Bajaj, Honda, Hero and TVS compete to the highest level. Hero MotoCorp aims to up the game in this segment with a new offering which it promises will be India’s most futuristic 125cc two-wheeler.

    Cross-referencing to upcoming 125cc Hero MotoCorp vehicles, one product stands out, which is the next-gen Glamour 125 spied with cruise control. Hero has sent Block Your Date invites to media and the launch timeline is likely to be around this month, which is August 2025 and it seems to have all the makings of a segment disruptor.
    This spied 2026 Hero Glamour 125 has been one of the most sensational news in the automotive fraternity as it was quite unusual. We say unusual because it possessed Cruise Control, operated by a toggle on its right switchgear. Cruise Control on a budget commuter is a hard pill to swallow owing to the cost constraints.

    However, Hero MotoCorp offers Cruise Control on its affordable Vida V2 lineup of scooters and it might be a similar system designed to be affordable for the masses. Other notable element seen on the 2026 Glamour 125 was a fully digital colour LCD instrument cluster which might be shared with the unit seen on Xtreme 250R and now discontinued Karizma XMR 210 Base variant.
    What to expect?
    Prices are likely to jump a bit, considering the equipment on offer. Hero MotoCorp is known to come up with unique attributes on their products to make them stand out in the market. Splendor is a stark example of this as it is the country’s only 100cc commuter with a disc brake, LED headlights, fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and more.

    Same strategy could be implemented with Glamour 125 where it might emerge as the country’s most futuristic 125cc 2W vehicle. With 2026 Glamour 125, Hero may carry forward the same 124.7cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine with 10.39 bhp of peak power and 10.4 Nm of peak torque.
