This new Glamour sports some big changes, including mechanical ones, when compared to the model that it replaces. Firstly, the 125cc commuter now features a diamond frame instead of the tubular double-cradle frame seen on the outgoing version. The biggest mechanical update comes in the form of the gearbox that now has an additional gear, making it a 5-speed unit. The Glamour 125 comes with a start-stop system and real-time fuel efficiency indicator as well. The 5-speed BS6 Glamour 125 is a direct rival to other 5-speed 125cc motorcycles in India – the Honda SP125 and the Bajaj Pulsar 125.

The Glamour looks a lot like the bike it’s replaced, but Hero has also made some tweaks to the style with redesigned body panels. Overall, the changes have resulted in a more mature-looking motorcycle. The updated engine and new gearbox haven’t brought about a drastic change in performance, however, the presence of an additional gear allows for a more stress-free ride at highway speeds. The Glamour is available in two variants – one with a drum brake at the front and the other with a disc brake - and is more affordable than its rivals.

After the death of the two-strokes, a segment I always thought would go unnoticed by enthusiasts is the 125cc commuter one. Any four-stroke motorcycle below 150cc has no business being anything but basic, ordinary commuters. However, with fuel and motorcycle prices soaring, this segment’s getting a lot more attention. And motorcycle companies are trying to make their products more interesting, just as they should.

The new Hero Glamour Xtec is essentially a kitted-out version of the one that was launched just shy of two years ago. One of the biggest changes the Xtec brings is the display that it borrows from the Xpulse 200. This LCD offers basic navigation assist in the form of arrows and a small readout underneath for remaining distance. It also has a readout for call and SMS-related information.

LCD shows nav, call and SMS alerts.

Two other ‘tec’ additions come in the form of a side-stand engine cut-off function and a USB charging socket. Like the standard variant, it also gets Hero’s start-stop and ‘Auto-Sail’ functions. Specific to this version of the motorcycle is the LED headlight, which looks quite cool with the blacked-out internals. The dark theme also extends to the paint schemes, as the Xtec is only available in gloss black and matte grey. The rest of the body remains rather commuter in its design.

LED headlight is a premium touch.

Powering the Glamour Xtec is a 124.7cc, single-cylinder engine that comes paired to a 5-speed gearbox. This engine isn’t as smooth as the Honda SP 125’s, but it’s quite refined. The Glamour is quite straightforward when it comes to its chassis, with neutral dynamics, commuter-like ride quality and adequate braking performance on the disc brake-equipped variant.

This variant is priced at Rs 85,100, while the drum brake-equipped Xtec costs Rs 80,500. Pricing is at par with those of its rivals, the SP 125 and the new TVS Raider 125. The Xtec certainly isn’t as youthful and sporty as the latter, but it offers a focus on fuel efficiency, while throwing in some nice features to spice up its essentially commuter experience.
