Hero Glamour Expert Reviews
car&bike Expert Take
“The Hero Glamour has swayed from the basic commuter vibe for a more assertive presence and segment-first features with its newer variants. You get ride modes and cruise control from the bike’s latest edition, something rarely seen in its segment, while the standard variant keeps its high-mileage efficiency alive and kicking.”
Hero Glamour Overview
Hero Glamour and Indian roads; this has been one long-lasting union for two decades now. Launched in 2005, the 125 cc bike was meant to attract riders who were content with frugal fuel economy back then. But as time went on, and buyer demands began to change throughout generations, Hero Motocorp completely reinvented the popular motorcycle to keep its relevance intact.
Even today, this bike’s chassis remains reassuringly balanced for navigating chaotic traffic, while the suspension easily adjusts to broken Indian roads. The new variants also feel far more premium than their older versions. For example, the newer Hero Glamour X offers something more besides fuel economy, such as segment-first cruise control and ride modes. However, while the names across the standard model, the ‘X’, and the ‘Xtec’ variant share the same name and the exact engine platform, they’re interestingly not included in the same family by Hero.
Going back to the base variant, the original Glamour, Preetam Bora constantly kept track of its performance and newer launches throughout the years. We have added a few of those reviews and news pieces into this analysis to help you understand the bike’s position in the current market today.
This motorcycle relies on its proven 124.7 cc engine and its five-speed gearbox to deliver its punchy, reliable performance. This setup has always meant basic functionality, but it has always been comfortable enough for the rider to daily hit the road.
Preetam speaks about its commuter-level performance,
“55 to 65 kilometres per hour is where the Glamour is happiest, with enough punch in reserve to make a quick overtake and hit over 80 kmph.”
Engine & Transmission
| Specification | Details |
| Engine | 124.7 cc, Air-Cooled, Single-Cylinder |
| Power | 10.7 bhp @ 8,250 rpm |
| Torque | 10.6 Nm @ 6,500 rpm |
| Transmission | Five-Speed Manual |
City Riding Experience
The bike’s throttle response is crisp and energetic inside the city. It’s easy to engage and manage, as the engine is peppy enough for quick bursts and reliable enough for slow traffic crawls without shutting down.
Preetam observes,
“The clutch is light, the five gears slot into place quickly and accelerating through the gearbox gives an experience which does not have any unpleasant vibrations or stress.”
Highway Riding Experience
The engine is remarkably consistent on the highways. It cruises comfortably at 70-80 kmph without feeling strained. But continuously pushing it past 90 kmph can be a real challenge since it's a basic, entry-level commuter motorcycle. We wouldn’t recommend that you check whether the engine can go for triple-digit overtaking or not; at 60-70 kmph, it’s fine, though.
Pros
- High, segment-leading mileage
- Very refined 124.7 cc engine
- USB-C charging port
- Fully equipped instrument cluster
Cons
- No single-channel ABS
- The extended seat design may not appeal to all
- Plastics and switchgear feel a bit flimsy in certain places
Verdict
The Hero Glamour has successfully withstood the competition for two decades, proving that everyday commuters do not have to be boring. Hero’s package was, and always will be, desirable considering how it handles city traffic with absolute ease while returning excellent fuel economy.
No ABS, however, means that it feels like a missed opportunity for a bike with so much potential. Besides that, the panel gaps and slightly distorted rear-view mirrors also remind you that it is built to a strict price. Yet, the overall riding experience easily outshines these minor flaws. If you want a daily driver that offers brilliant comfort and does not force you to visit the petrol pump often, this one is hard to ignore.
Glamour Colour Options

But it has starting problem at morning & choke need to be used, though i have not taken 1st servicing, hope the problem will be gone after 1st service.
