Hero had showcased two new 125cc scooters, called the Maestro Edge 125 and the Duet 125, at the Auto Expo 2018. Now, however, leaked images of what looks to be a presentation slide reveals that the Duet 125 has been rebadged as the Destini 125.

While the Destini 125 (Duet 125) is positioned as a family scooter offering, the Maestro Edge, on the other hand, targets younger buyers with its comparatively sportier styling. Both scooters use a 125cc motor that makes 8.7hp and 10.2Nm of torque. They also come equipped with i3S (idle-start-stop) tech that, until now, was seen only on Hero motorcycles.

The Destini 125 will also feature an external fuel-filler cap, side-stand warning, service indicator and a pass switch. Furthermore, it comes with a boot lamp and mobile charging point. Styling-wise, the scooter gets body-coloured rear-view mirrors and a dual-tone seat.

As for the Maestro Edge, we will believe Hero will keep that moniker as it is a strong brand for them. Expect more details about the two upcoming scooters to emerge in the weeks to come.
