Hero Glamour — Overview

The Hero Glamour is a commuter bike available at a price range of Rs. 84,613 - Rs. 88,300 in India. It comes in 2 variants and 4 colours. It is powered by a 124.7 cc BS6 Phase 2B engine and has a user reported mileage of 55 kmpl. With both front and rear drum brakes, the Hero Glamour comes with combined braking system on both wheels. The Glamour bike weighs 121.3 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 10 liters. It develops a power output of 10.39 bhp and a torque of 10.4 Nm.

At ₹84,313, the Hero Glamour is one of India's best-selling 125cc commuters - and for good reason. It's lightweight, fuel-efficient in city traffic, and backed by Hero's massive service network. But beneath the updated OBD 2B badge, some persistent issues remain: real-world mileage that falls well short of the claimed 65 kmpl, vibrations that many owners can't get resolved at service centres, and no ABS at a price where rivals are beginning to offer it. If you're looking at the 125cc segment in 2026, the Glamour is a safe, familiar choice - but it's no longer the default best option.

Hero Glamour Latest Updates

View all

  • Hero Glamour (combined Glamour 125 + Glamour X 125) retailed 25,522 units in March 2026, a 135.62% year-on-year jump, making it one of the top-selling bikes in the 125cc segment for the month.

  • Hero Glamour and Hero Xtreme were credited as the key drivers behind Hero MotoCorp's FY26 record of 64,68,834 total dispatches - a 10% year-on-year increase, with the 100-125cc segment leading the growth.

  • Hero Glamour retailed 22,677 units in February 2026, up 185.5% year-on-year from 7,942 units in February 2025, ranking among the top-selling 125cc motorcycles in India - growth attributed largely to the Glamour X 125 variant.

What We Like

  • Real-world fuel efficiency of 50-60 kmpl in city conditions - keeps running costs low
  • Lightweight 121 kg frame makes it easy to handle in Mumbai or Bangalore traffic
  • Full LED headlamp, LED tail lamp, and a digital console feel premium for the price
  • Hero's pan-India service network means parts and labour are never far away

What Could Be Better

  • Vibrations at 40-60 km/h reported by a large number of owners - and service centres often can't fully resolve it
  • No ABS - only CBS - at a price point where TVS Raider 125 and Honda SP 125 are compelling alternatives
  • Claimed 65 kmpl ARAI mileage rarely matched in real riding; expect 45-55 kmpl in mixed conditions

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Hero Glamour?

The Hero Glamour is a solid city commuter with a proven track record and unmatched service availability. It's the right bike if you want predictable, low-maintenance daily transport and live near a Hero dealership. But if vibration-free cruising, ABS, or a higher fun-to-ride ratio matter to you, the TVS Raider 125 or Honda SP 125 are worth the short stretch in budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the price of Hero Glamour in India?▾
The Hero Glamour is priced at ₹84,313 for the drum variant and ₹88,001 for the disc variant (ex-showroom Delhi, 2026 OBD 2B). On-road prices in Delhi are approximately ₹97,000 - ₹1,02,000 depending on the variant and insurance selected.
QWhat is the mileage of Hero Glamour?▾
Hero Glamour's ARAI-certified mileage is 65 kmpl. In real-world city riding, owners consistently report 45-55 kmpl depending on traffic conditions, riding style, and engine condition - the gap between claimed and actual is one of the most common owner complaints.
QDoes Hero Glamour have ABS?▾
No, the Hero Glamour does not have ABS. Both drum and disc variants come with CBS (Combined Braking System), which links front and rear brakes proportionally. At this price point, the absence of ABS is one of the bike's notable drawbacks compared to some rivals.
QWhat is the on-road price of Hero Glamour in Delhi?▾
The on-road price of Hero Glamour in Delhi is approximately ₹97,000 - ₹98,000 for the drum variant and ₹1,01,000 - ₹1,02,000 for the disc variant. This includes road tax of around ₹6,745, insurance of approximately ₹6,000 - ₹7,000, and dealer handling charges of ₹3,500.
QWhat is the EMI for Hero Glamour base variant?▾
At 85% financing over 36 months at approximately 9.5% interest, the Hero Glamour drum variant's EMI works out to around ₹2,700 - ₹2,800 per month. The exact EMI depends on your down payment, the lender, and your credit profile.
QWhat is the service cost and interval for Hero Glamour?▾
Hero Glamour's service interval is every 3,000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first. A standard paid service at a Hero dealership typically costs ₹500 - ₹800 including labour, with engine oil change (recommended: Hero's 10W-30 grade) adding approximately ₹300 - ₹400.
QHero Glamour vs Honda SP 125 - which is better?▾
The Honda SP 125 is lighter (117 kg vs 121 kg), more refined, and commands a better resale premium, but is priced higher at around ₹93,000+ for the disc variant. The Hero Glamour wins on service network reach and its lower entry price. Choose the SP 125 for refinement and resale; choose the Glamour if Hero service availability is important to you.
QIs Hero Glamour good for long distance riding?▾
The Hero Glamour is primarily built for city commuting. It handles short highway runs adequately, but the reported vibrations above 60 km/h and the 10-litre tank (roughly 550-600 km range at real-world mileage) make it less ideal for extended highway touring. For regular long-distance use in the 125cc segment, the TVS Raider 125 offers a more comfortable ride.
