    2024 Hero Destini 125All new Hero Destini 125 will be launched in a few days – Ahead of that, here is a new teaser revealing more details
    Hero MotoCorp has once again teased the highly anticipated new Destini 125 scooter, which is set to launch in just a few days. The latest teaser, showcased on their social media platforms, highlights a dual-tone color scheme of white and bronze chrome, offering a fresh look for the updated model.
    A Retro Twist with Contemporary Features
    Hero MotoCorp is the dominant player in the commuter motorcycle segment, but its scooters haven’t garnered the same level of popularity. However, the new Destini 125 aims to change that, with its retro-inspired design that caters to users looking for a blend of classic aesthetics and modern functionality.

    In the teaser, the scooter’s curvy, minimalistic body panels seem to take inspiration from iconic brands like Vespa and Lambretta. The front apron has received a significant redesign, featuring a sleeker lighting setup and smoother layers that elevate the scooter’s visual appeal. The teaser also reveals updated rear-view mirrors, a new headlight cowl, and a redesigned front fender. Previously, the dual-tone Pearl Black color option was revealed, and now with the new white shade with bronze chrome styling, it’s likely that other vibrant color options will follow.

    The scooter also features a new stepped seat in a sporty dual-tone theme, smooth side panels, and a striking 3D ‘Destini’ logo, giving it a dynamic profile. The updated scooter has also seen improvements in practicality, such as a newly designed pillion backrest and a fresh exhaust shield. Alloy wheels may get an upgrade, with a hope that Hero opts for 12-inch wheels over the existing 10-inch setup.
    What to Expect Under the Hood
    Mechanically, the new Hero Destini 125 is expected to retain the same 124.6cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, producing 9 bhp and 10.4 Nm of torque. However, there could be a significant upgrade in braking, as certain variants may come equipped with a front disc brake, enhancing overall performance. Suspension duties will remain the same with telescopic forks at the front and a spring-loaded hydraulic damper at the rear.
    The Destini 125 may also get a fully digital instrument cluster, replacing the current digi-analog display. The scooter is set to launch during the upcoming festive season, likely at a slightly higher price than the current model. Nevertheless, it will still be one of the most affordable 125cc scooters in the country, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers seeking a retro-modern scooter. Stay tuned for the official launch of the new Hero Destini 125 as it promises to bring a refreshing change to Hero MotoCorp’s scooter lineup. More

    New Hero Destini Scooter Launch Soon – First Official Teaser

    New Hero Destini ScooterAll existing Hero scooters have a contemporary profile, which is why there’s scope for a new scooter with a classic design format
    Although Hero MotoCorp is a market leader in the commuter motorcycle segment, its scooters are relatively less popular. One of the reasons could be the lack of a truly unique design and styling. A positive change is expected in consumer perceptions with upcoming products such as the new Destini.
    New Hero Destini scooter – Official Teaser
    As of now, Destini 125 is the top selling scooter from Hero MotoCorp. Last year in August, a new variant, Destini Prime, was launched. It is currently the most affordable Destini model. Hero is now working on the new Destini facelift model that has significant changes to its design and styling.
    New Hero Destini Scooter – LED DRL, Headlight
    Latest teaser has revealed a tilt towards retro aesthetics. From the curvy, minimalistic body panelling, it appears that the new Hero Destini facelift is following the design approach used with brands such as Vespa and Lambretta.
    Front apron has undergone a major design overhaul, featuring a new lighting setup and curvy layers. Changes are evident across the front fender, headlight, cowl, and rear-view mirrors. We have already seen a new dual-tone Pearl Black colour option for the new Destini.
    New Hero Destini Scooter – LED Tail Light
    And there could be more such vibrant colour options for the updated scooter. Moving to the sides, we see a new dual-tone stepped seat that helps achieve a sporty look and feel. Side panels come with smooth surfacing, a signature feature of popular retro scooters. The 3D ‘Destini’ logo on the side panel further enhances the scooter’s dynamic profile.
    New Hero Destini Scooter – Turn Indicator
    While the exhaust pipe is the same as the current model, the new Destini gets a new exhaust shield. The pillion backrest has a new design and it could also be functionally relevant with improvements to overall comfort. Alloy wheels are new and it would be better if Hero offers 12-inch units instead of the existing 10-inch wheels.
    New Hero Destini Scooter
    At the rear, the overhang too gets the retro touch. The bulky tail lamp and indicators seen with the existing model have been replaced with much slimmer units. The external fuel filler cap has transformed from a circular to a square unit.
    New Hero Destini Scooter – Disc Brake
    New Hero Destini 125 – Hardware specs
    It is unlikely that there will be any changes to the engine. New Hero Destini 125 will continue using the existing 124.6cc, air cooled, SI engine. It delivers 9 bhp and 10.4 Nm. However, there will be a change in the braking setup, where select variants of the new Destini will get a front disc brake. As of now, all models are equipped with 130 mm front and rear drum brakes. Suspension setup will be the same, telescopic forks at front and unit swing with spring loaded hydraulic damper at rear.
    [embedded content]
    Design sketches have indicated the possibility of a new instrument cluster. It could be a fully digital display instead of the existing digi analogue cluster. New Hero Destini is expected to be launched during the upcoming festive season. It could be offered at a slightly higher pricing. That shouldn’t be a concern since Hero Destini is one of the most affordable 125cc scooters in the country. More

    Hero Destini 125 Facelift Sketch Leaks – Rear Design Revealed Before Launch

    Hero Destini 125 Facelift Sketch Leaks – Current vs NewHero MotoCorp is getting ready to launch the facelifted Destini 125 scooter – Ahead of that, new details have leakedAfter losing the No 1 spot to Honda, Hero MotoCorp, is on a mission to increase its market share in scooter segment. Hero wants to democratise 125cc scooters further by updating its Destini 125 scooter. Spy shots of the front-right quarter of this scooter had already leaked. Now we get to see the rear section in design trademarks filed by the brand.Hero Destini 125 Facelift Sketch LeaksIf we take a look at India’s 125cc scooter segment, every other contender has a price tag upwards of Rs 82,000 (Ex-sh). However, Hero MotoCorp is being the good guy here and offers Destini 125 Prime (base model) for a starting price of Rs 71,499 (Ex-sh, Delhi). This is big for Hero MotoCorp as rival 125cc scooters cost about Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 46,000 more (ex-sh).Hero Destini 125 Facelift Design TrademarkSo, there is potential in Destini platform, but it needs some sprucing to significantly boost sales and feature in top 10 scooters. That’s exactly what Hero is doing. From the previous leaked images of the Destini facelift, we can see a radically more mature product than what Destini currently is.There has been an attempt to transform Destini 125 into a more stylish and sophisticated product than before. Front apron has been significantly overhauled to establish a unique design. There are new alloy wheels and depending on variants, Hero is also offering a front disc brake as well.Hero Destini 125 Facelift. Image – TeamBHPThe new design trademarks from Hero MotoCorp shows the Destini facelift from the back and reveals most of its side profile too. We can see more minimal side body panels with a new exhaust cover. From this angle, there seem to be similarities with Yamaha Fascino. Current Destini’s large and awkward tail lights and rear turn indicators have been made sleeker on facelift.There is a stepped seat for a sporty look and pillion backrest has been redesigned too. The large storage behind the apron has been removed and we now get a small cubby where one can place their phone. There doesn’t seem to be any smart key implementation here and the external fuel filler lid has also been redesigned.Next-Gen Hero Destini Scooter Vs Current ModelWhat to expect?Hero will continue to offer XTEC Bluetooth connectivity in top models. As seen from the new design trademarks, there seems to be a new instrument cluster and we hope there is a TFT screen with turn-by-turn navigation too. Along with that, LED headlights, USB charging port, boot lamp, front disc brake, i3S stop start system,Mechanically, Hero Destini 125 facelift is likely to retain its powertrain from current Destini. It is a 124.6cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine. This engine generates 9 bhp of peak power at 7,000 RPM and 10.36 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 RPM. Fuel efficiency claimed by Hero MotoCorp on current model is 56 km/l.Current Hero Destini 125 XTECWe can expect a slight price hike as opposed to current Hero Destini 125 Prime and Destini 125. But it will continue to significantly undercut its immediate 125cc rivals. Launch is likely to be right around the corner. Say September 2024.Also read – Hero Xpulse 210 with Karizma engine spied More
