Hero Destini 110: Acceleration
During our test, the conditions were mainly dry.
The Destini 110 offers decent performance for daily commuting. The scooter took 3.83 seconds to get to 40kph, 8.59 seconds to 60kph, and 18.18 seconds to get to 80kph. It feels in its sweet spot between 30 and 60 km/h. It can also get to highway cruising speeds but overtakes do require some planning.
Hero Destini 110: Roll-on acceleration
It offers friendly performance for city commuting.
The power delivery feels linear and the throttle response is gentle, making it easy for beginners as well as older users to manage. In the city, it feels smooth while cruising, but some vibrations are felt on the floorboard at higher speeds.
Hero Destini 110: Braking
The top-spec variant gets a disc brake at the front.
Braking is decent for the performance it offers on this top-spec variant with a disc brake. It is not the sharpest setup but gets the job done decently well in the city. What I did notice while emergency braking and getting on both levers urgently is that it can cause the front to lock and slip.
