Hero Glamour X 125

The Hero Glamour X 125 isn’t just another commuter—we can confidently say it’s one of the most feature-rich motorcycles in this segment right now. You don’t usually expect features like ride-by-wire, cruise control, and multiple ride modes in a 125 cc bike, but here we are. And once you actually ride it, you realise these aren’t gimmicks—they genuinely change how the bike feels in daily use.

As Preetam Bora puts it, “The new Glamour X brings an ‘X factor’ with features like cruise control, ride-by-wire, and ride modes—something you simply don’t expect in a 125cc motorcycle.”

If you want modern tech without losing everyday practicality, this one clearly stands out.

Expert Context

When you’ve spent over a decade riding motorcycles across India, you stop chasing spec sheets and start trusting feel—and that’s exactly how we approached the Hero Glamour X 125. Preetam Bora, who’s been riding for over ten years and has clocked more than 300,000 kilometres, brings that real-world perspective to this review.

Our test wasn’t limited to one kind of road. We started in Pune city traffic, moved onto the Mumbai–Bengaluru highway for steady cruising, then headed towards Pirangut and Lavasa for twisty sections and downhill braking. This mix gave us a clear picture of how the Glamour X behaves, where you’ll actually ride it every day.
