      New Hero Glamour X vs TVS Raider – Features, Specs, Prices Compared

      by

      New Hero Glamour X vs TVS RaiderWith multiple segment-first features, the new Hero Glamour X is well-positioned to capture a larger share of the 125-cc motorcycle market
      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 Hero Glamour X is India’s first 125cc motorcycle to get cruise control. This is generally seen with premium bikes, but Hero has now set a new standard in the 125cc segment. 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. It includes Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, adaptive brightness, fuel efficiency and range to empty. 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.
      In comparison, rival TVS Raider 125 is available with either a reverse LCD display with 85+ features or a TFT console with 99 features. This is based on the variant. 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.
      Glamour X has 18-inch wheels, as compared to 17-inch units on TVS Raider. Tyre sizes are 80/100 and 100/80 and 80/100 and 100/90, respectively. 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. In comparison, TVS Raider 125 base variant with drum brake is available at a starting price of Rs 87,375. The top-spec SX variant is priced at Rs 1,02,665. 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.
      [embedded content]
      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 To Launch India’s Most Futuristic 125cc – Glamour With Cruise Control?

      by

      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.
      Hero Teased India’s Most Futuristic 125cc 2W Vehicle
      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.
      2026 Hero Glamour 125 Spied
      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.
      2026 Hero Glamour 125 Spied
      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.

      New Hero 440cc Bike Launch Very Soon – More Coming In 2026

      by

      New Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler VariantWith a strategic partnership with Hero MotoCorp, American bike manufacturer, Harley-Davidson, has entered the country’s premium single-cyl 350cc to 450cc segment. This also allowed Hero MotoCorp to carve out a motorcycle under their brand, the Mavrick 440, which seems to be currently discontinued in India.
      Hero MotoCorp CEO, Vikram Kasbekar, has now revealed that a new motorcycle developed under its partnership with Harley-Davidson will launch in Q2. As per Mr Kasbekar, one of these 440cc motorcycles will launch ‘very soon’ and more exciting products will come in 2026. Let’s take a closer look at what these could be.
      Hero Mavrick 440
      New Hero 440cc Bike Launch
      As revealed in a recent interview, Hero MotoCorp has spilled the beans, revealing details of current developments and upcoming projects in the pipeline. The most interesting among these upcoming vehicles was a new motorcycle based on the 440 platform shared with American brand Harley-Davidson.
      Mr Kasbekar revealed that the company will launch a new 440cc motorcycle ‘very soon’. He did not spill out whether it will be launched under Hero brand or Harley-Davidson brand. Former is the more likely outcome. We say this because Hero’s only 440cc bike, Maverick 440, seems to have been discontinued recently.
      New Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler Variant
      What could it be?
      Analysing the recent test mule sightings, there doesn’t seem to be any new 440cc Hero MotoCorp offerings to be launched ‘very soon’. However, the company has trademarked the Mavrick 440 Scrambler name and has even patented design of this vehicle in India, which may be the motorcycle Mr Kasbekar is mentioning. If this is true, Mavrick 440 Scrambler will feature scrambler-worthy hardware at a slightly higher price tag and will rival Royal Enfield Scram 440.
      Because Xpulse 440 test mule sightings have not been reported recently, another possibility could be the re-launch of Mavrick 440, but in a more premium avatar, packing more features and equipment. This variant of Mavrick 440 was showcased at 2024 EICMA and it packed a TFT instrument cluster along with USD telescopic front forks, finished in a lovely Gold shade.
      Hero embraced similar strategy with Karizma XMR 210 as the ‘Base’ variant was discontinued, leaving only the better equipped ‘Top’ variant on sale. If this is true, one can expect a slight price hike with Mavrick 440 owing to its more premium equipment. Last recorded prices started from Rs 2 lakh and went till Rs 2.25 lakh (both prices Ex-sh).

      Hero Mavrick 440 Discontinued? Or Will There Be An Updated Version?

      by

      Hero Mavrick 440Hero MotoCorp, one of India’s largest 2W manufacturers, is known for its budget commuter motorcycles more than its premium motorcycles. Even the company’s scooters have a better sales proposition than Hero’s premium motorcycles. So, the company is revising its premium motorcycle lineup to establish a streamlined portfolio.
      In that regard, Hero MotoCorp recently de-listed or discontinued the base variant of Karizma XMR 210 and now, a similar approach seems to have been taken towards the Mavrick 440. Only, the entire Mavrick 440 motorcycle seems to be discontinued, rather than some variants. Let’s take a closer look.
      Hero Mavrick 440
      Hero Mavrick 440 Discontinued?
      One look at Hero MotoCorp’s official website and you can still see Mavrick 440 listed along with all of its variants. Speaking of, Mavrick 440 was sold in three variants conveniently named Base, Mid and Top. Prices range between Rs 1,99,500 for Base, Rs 2,14,500 for Mid and Rs 2,24,500 for Top (all prices Ex-sh).
      However, Hero MotoCorp seems to have discontinued its flagship product, the Mavrick 440. This was Hero’s first proper big displacement motorcycle and was based on the same platform as Harley-Davidson X440. But at an affordable price point with Roadster design and less premium components.
      Hero Mavrick 440
      While the Ex-sh prices were already attractive, Hero Mavrick 440 garnered attractive discounts on E-Commerce platforms like Flipkart, sweetening the deal further. However, the bike’s overtly simplistic design seems to have worked against it and it didn’t find many takers. Sales were often in double digits, single digits and even 0 from the past three months.
      Will it make a comeback?
      There are three ways as to how the company might tackle the Mavrick 440’s future. One is to discontinue it completely and make way for boosting sales of Harley-Davidson X440. Second is to bring it back with updated components, which were showcased at 2024 EICMA Show. These include USD telescopic front forks and a TFT colour instrument cluster among others.
      Hero Mavrick 440 Scrambler
      Also, there’s a probability of Hero bringing it back in a Scrambler avatar. Design and names of which have already been trademarked in India (Mavrick 440 Scrambler). Either way, Hero Mavrick 440 will remain one of the most underrated motorcycles of India, as we found out during time with it. More
