      Hero Glamour X 125 First Ride Review – Cruise Control For The Masses!

      by

      Hero Glamour X 125 First Ride ReviewIndia’s leading motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp is set to rewrite the script of the country’s budget commuter motorcycle segment. The company promised to deliver “Most Futuristic 125cc” offering and launched Glamour X 125 in the country for a starting price of Rs 89,999 (Ex-sh). After riding this Glamour X 125 in Jaipur for around a day, this is what we think about it.
      Hero Glamour X 125 First Ride Review
      Where pricing is concerned, Glamour X is positioned above the rest of Hero’s 125cc motorcycles other than Xtreme 125R. The base variant of standard Glamour undercuts Glamour X by around Rs 3k, while base variant of Super Splendor undercuts Glamour X by around Rs 1k. Glamour XTEC is slightly pricier than Glamour X.
      Hero Glamour X Design
      The top-spec Disc variant of Glamour X is priced at Rs 99,999 (Ex-sh), which is around Rs 5k to 8k pricier than Super Splendor, Glamour and Glamour XTEC. For the extra price, Glamour X delivers an upmarket design along with extra features and technology which is never heard of in the 125cc motorcycles that cost more than twice the price of Glamour X.
      Disc variant gets all bells and whistles including the LED tail lights, LED turn indicators, Panic Braking feature, fully digital LCD instrument cluster with advanced Bluetooth features and improved switchgear with Glamour X’s pièce de résistance, the Cruise Control feature. LED headlight setup is common between both variants.
      Hero Glamour X Design
      Design-wise, Glamour X has a muscular fuel tank with extended tank shrouds, a tall windscreen over the stylish LED headlight setup, striking LED DRLs, a belly pan under the engine compartment, a smart-looking single-piece seat, single-piece rear pillion grab rail, stylish LED tail lights, sleek LED turn indicators and attractive dual-tone graphics all around. Alloy wheel design is quite interesting too.
      One can spruce up the design of Glamour X with official accessories. Some of them are quite useful including tank knee pads, pillion backrest, rear tyre hugger, knuckle guards, engine guards and a belly pan. Interestingly, Hero offers a shorter windscreen as an accessory, while taller windscreen comes as standard, which was a ‘huh’ moment for me when I first saw it.
      Hero Glamour X Design
      Added Features
      Now that appearances are out of the way, we can dig into the juiciest part of this Glamour X, which is its features list. Starting with its fully digital LCD instrument cluster, it is a similar unit as Xtreme 250R and it shows quite a lot of information for a 125cc motorcycle class. There’s even a gear position indicator that also advises upshifts and downshifts depending on the speed and gear you are in.
      Hero Glamour X Instrument Cluster
      Speedo, tacho, twin trip computers, distance to empty, avg fuel efficiency, date, time, i3S on/off, Ride Modes and Bluetooth connectivity are some of the notable features of this cluster. This cluster also gets an ambient light sensor that can adjust brightness based on lighting conditions. Bluetooth connection with a smartphone enables notifications and turn-by-turn navigation. First in any Hero product, we have a USB Type-C port. On left switchgear, two buttons operate cluster menus, while the third Mode button cycles through Eco, Road and Power riding modes.
      Hero Glamour X Switchgear – Cruise Control
      Cruise Control
      This is a baffling feature that is expected to shake the market and make the world stand up and take notice of Hero Glamour X. From what we saw, it has worked. From initial spy shots to the actual launch, Glamour X has created and maintained tremendous buzz and it surprisingly delivers. For cruise control to work, Hero MotoCorp is offering ride by wire technology and this electronic throttle body still retains a kick starter, combination of these is a world’s first.
      Using cruise control is fairly simple and is operated by the toggle on right switchgear. Base speed for cruise control to work is 30 km/h and it will maintain set speeds reliably until a manual override from user in the form of clutch, brake and throttle activation. After manual override, one flick of cruise control toggle re-activates and resumes previously set speed seamlessly. So, cruise control is not a gimmick on this motorcycle if users really want to make use of it.
      Hero Glamour X Wheels
      Ride & Dynamics
      Other than the added features, Glamour X is a commuter offering through and through, as signified by its cycle parts. It continues to get 30mm RSU telescopic front forks, and 5-step preload adjustable rear twin shock absorbers. Front disc brake is optional, while rear drum brake is standard. Alloy wheels are 18-inchers at both ends, wrapped with 80/100-18 front and 100/80-18 rear tubeless tyres. All these are mounted on a Diamond-type frame.
      Hero Glamour X Tyres & Brakes
      Wheelbase is 1,267 mm, seat height is 790 mm and ground clearance is 170 mm. Depending on variant, kerb weight is between 125.5 kg to 127 kg. Handlebar is wide and footpegs are forward set, offering a relaxed riding posture. Swinging the leg over Glamour X’s saddle is relatively easy for both rider and pillion.
      Hero Glamour X Powertrain
      Glamour X shares the 124.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine with Xtreme 125R. This powerplant is capable of delivering 11.4 bhp of peak power at 8250 RPM and 10.5 Nm of peak torque at 6500 RPM, mated to a 5-speed gearbox that comes with a heel-and-toe shifter, common among commuter motorcycles.
      Hero Glamour X Suspension
      Performance is brisk and is on par with other 125cc budget commuters on sale in India. On the highway, I could even manage to strike 100 km/h indicated speed reading on the instrument cluster in 5th gear. Ride quality is balanced in typical Hero fashion and it offers a comfortable commuter to users. It handles like a commuter running on skinny tyres, which is par for this segment. Also par for this segment is braking performance.
      Hero Glamour X Design
      Some Reservations
      While Hero Glamour X is a great overall package with a lot of potential to shake the entire world’s commuter segment, there is room for improvement.
      1. If we divide Glamour X’s design into four quarter, the top right quarter is downright sporty and attractive along with radiating an upmarket feel. Top left quarter looks like a premium commuter. However, bottom quarters are nothing to write home about. Maybe fatter tyres would have helped the cause significantly.
      Hero Glamour X Design
      2. We didn’t touch on the Bluetooth features in depth because just like every other Hero product we reviewed (except for Vida scooters), we could not connect our smartphone with this system. I personally own a Xoom 125 and I am not able to get this app working even as an owner.
      Conclusion
      Other than these two grievances, Hero Glamour X 125 comes off as a compelling product. Overall fit and finish is par for this segment and it bears quite a few upmarket features and first-in-the-world technologies that work as advertised. Especially the Cruise Control feature which could reshape the whole commuter motorcycle landscape.
      Hero Glamour X Features
      Glamour X is such a compelling product, it makes standard Glamour and Glamour XTEC obsolete and might even eat into the pie of Super Splendor. It has great potential to shake up the 125cc commuter segment as it aims to be an aspiring vehicle for many commuters to own.

      Hero Xtreme 125R Gets Single Seat Variant – Cruise Control Coming Soon

      by

      Hero Xtreme 125R Gets Single SeatNew single seat variant of Hero Xtreme 125R is around Rs 1,600 costlier than the base model and Rs 2,000 cheaper than the top variant
      Hero MotoCorp is taking steps to strengthen its presence in the 125cc motorcycle segment. The company recently launched the Glamour X, which is India’s first 125cc bike with cruise control. In the latest development, Hero Xtreme 125R has been updated with the option of a single seat variant. Let’s check out the details and pricing.
      Hero Xtreme 125R single seat variant
      In the 125cc segment, Hero offers the Glamour, Glamour X, Glamour XTEC, Super Splendor XTEC and Xtreme 125R. Among the lot, Xtreme 125R stands out with its sporty design and striking presence. A split-seat setup complements its sporty profile and has been there since its launch.
      Hero Xtreme 125R Gets Single Seat
      For buyers who may be looking for the best of both worlds, Hero has now launched a single seat version of the Xtreme 125R. As even the single piece seat has a prominent step-up design, the overall silhouette does not change dramatically. The bike’s striking presence remains largely the same as earlier even with the single piece seat. Depending on the individual, the single piece seat could even be more attractive than the split seats.
      With a single piece seat, pillion riders can expect better overall comfort. It is also better suited for practical applications in daily life. Colour options for the single seat Xtreme 125R are the same as available with other variants. Users can choose from three colour options – Cobalt Blue, Firestorm Red and Stallion Black.
      Hero Xtreme 125R Gets Single Seat
      Hero Xtreme 125R single seat variant is available at a starting price of Rs 1,00,100. In comparison, the top variant costs Rs 1,02,100. The base variant of Xtreme 125R starts at Rs 98,425. Hero’s move to add a single seat option with Xtreme 125R could be aimed at boosting competencies against rival offerings. For example, the primary rival TVS Raider 125 is also available with the option of a single seat variant. It is priced at Rs 93,865.
      Hero Xtreme 125R Cruise Control
      Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to make the Xtreme 125R even more feature-packed, as the bike is set to become the second 125 cc motorcycle in India to get cruise control after the Glamour X. The upcoming variant is expected to include ride-by-wire throttle, three ride modes (Eco, Road, and Power), and a new colour LCD, essentially carrying forward all the tech seen on the Glamour X. A dedicated cruise control switch will make it easier for riders to maintain consistent speeds, while mode and menu buttons will enhance overall usability. With these upgrades, Hero will position the new top-spec Xtreme 125R variant above the current range, which already includes single-seat, split-seat, and ABS trims.
      Hero Xtreme 125R Cruise Control Variant
      No mechanical updates
      Core hardware specs for the single seat Xtreme 125R variant are the same as other variants. Powering the bike is a 124.7 cc air cooled engine that generates 11.55 PS and 10.5 Nm of torque. This engine is the same as seen with the Glamour X. It is paired with a 5-speed transmission. Rival TVS Raider utilizes a 124.8 cc air & oil cooled engine that generates 11.38 PS and 11.75 Nm. It is mated to a 5-speed transmission.
      Hero Xtreme 125R has a diamond frame, with 37mm telescopic front forks and monoshock rear suspension. Both ends have 17-inch wheels, with 90/90 front and 120/80 rear tubeless tyres. Braking setup comprises 276 mm disc at the front and 130 mm drum brake at the rear. Single channel ABS is offered as standard with the single seat and top variant of Xtreme 125R. The base variant has 240 mm disc and 130 mm drum combo with IBS.

      While Hero MotoCorp holds a dominant position in the 100cc motorcycle segment, it has yet to achieve similar success in the 125cc category. Things could change with the all-new Glamour X, positioned as India’s most futuristic 125cc motorcycle. Let’s compare the new Hero Glamour X vs. primary rival TVS Raider to understand how they stack up in terms of features, performance and value.
      Segment-first features, tech kit

New Glamour X also comes with 1st-in-segment ride modes of Eco, Road and Power. Another segment-first feature is the panic brake alert, which activates the winker when the user brakes hard. This improves safety, as other road users get a clear message.
      New Hero Glamour X vs TVS Raider
      New Glamour X is equipped with AERA (Advanced Electronic Ride Assist) with ride-by-wire technology. Another key USP is a 4.2-inch multi-colour fully digital LCD instrument cluster with 60+ functions.

Also, call/SMS alerts, gear indicator and advisory, ride mode selection and cruise control indicator. A Type-C USB charging port has also been provided.

Some of the key features include navigation, call management, voice assist, sports updates, weather updates, low fuel alert and on-console notifications. A USB charging port is available and safety is enhanced with a side stand engine cut-off function.
      New Hero Glamour X vs TVS Raider
      TVS Raider 125 also has riding modes of Eco, Power and Boost. While Glamour X has an all-LED setup, TVS Raider has LED headlamp and tail lamp. Both bikes have kick start in addition to the self-start switch. The kickstart was recently introduced with TVS Raider with the 2025 model and is available with only the base variants.
      Performance, specs, pricing
      New Hero Glamour X gets power from a 124.7 cc air cooled engine that generates 11.55 PS and 10.4 Nm of torque. In comparison, TVS Raider 125 has a 124.8 cc air & oil cooled engine that generates 11.38 PS and 11.75 Nm of torque. Both bikes have a 5-speed transmission.

While telescopic front forks are common for both bikes, the rear suspension is dual rear shock absorbers with Glamour X and a gas-charged monoshock unit with TVS Raider. Drum and disc brake variants are available with both bikes.
      New Hero Glamour X is available at a starting price of Rs 89,999 (Drum brake variant). The Glamour X Disc brake variant starts at Rs 99,999.

      New Hero Glamour X 125
      It will be available in both Drum and Disc brake variants.
      Market Positioning
      With these additions, the Hero Glamour X aims to redefine what a 125cc commuter can offer—balancing mileage, comfort, and advanced features. Features like ride modes, cruise control, and panic brake alert bring in tech usually reserved for larger premium motorcycles, giving Glamour X a unique edge in the segment.
      Commenting on the launch, Ashutosh Varma, Chief Business Officer, India Business Unit – Hero MotoCorp, said, “The 125cc segment continues to be a growth engine for the motorcycle industry, attracting both the aspirational first-time buyers and value-conscious upgraders. While the Xtreme 125R leads in performance and the Super Splendor in fuel efficiency; the new Glamour X introduces innovative technology, first-in-segment features, and a bold new striking design. This strategy expands the brand’s reach across various subsegments; boosting volumes and market share while further strengthening the company’s leadership.” More

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

      by

      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.
      New Hero Glamour X LCD Instrument cluster
      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
