Hero Destini design patent details

The patent reveals a redesigned rear and side, along with a new set of wheels. The rear still includes a backrest but now features a new tail lamp. The Destini carries forward the external fuel filler cap, but with a new design. The scooter boasts cleaner lines along the side and will likely be available in new colours to complement this design. It remains to be seen if the upcoming Destini will retain the same motor or feature any mechanical changes.

The outgoing Hero Destini is powered by a 124.6cc, air-cooled motor that produces 9hp at 7,000rpm and 10.4Nm at 5,500rpm. It is equipped with a telescopic fork at the front and a mono-shock at the rear. Currently, the Hero Destini Prime is priced at Rs 71,500 (ex-showroom, Delhi), while the Destini XTEC is available for Rs 86,538 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Upon its launch, the Destini will rival the Suzuki Access 125 and the TVS Jupiter 125.
