Hero Glamour X 125 — Overview

The Hero Glamour X 125 is a street bike available at a price range of Rs. 88,137 - Rs. 95,731 in India. It comes in 2 variants and 5 colours. It is powered by a 124.7 cc BS6 Phase 2B engine and has a user reported mileage of 60 kmpl. With both front and rear drum brakes, the Hero Glamour X 125 comes with combined braking system on both wheels. The Glamour X 125 bike weighs 125.5 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 10 liters. It develops a power output of 11.4 bhp and a torque of 10.5 Nm.

The Hero Glamour X 125 is Hero's attempt to modernise one of its most recognisable commuter nameplates. The "X" signals the new design language - sharper body panels, contemporary LED lighting - and the top variant adds Bluetooth connectivity via the Hero Companion app. At Rs 88,391 for the base and Rs 95,891 for the connected disc variant, it slots between the standard Glamour XTEC and the sportier Bajaj Pulsar 125 and TVS Raider 125. The FI engine is smooth and fuel-efficient; the power output (10.76 bhp) is honest but not segment-leading. What the Glamour X 125 trades in outright excitement it compensates with refinement, Hero's unbeatable service network, and the kind of sensible ergonomics that make a daily commuter comfortable across years of ownership.

Hero Glamour X 125 Latest Updates

View all

  • Hero MotoCorp has revised prices on the Glamour X 125 range for 2026. The Drum CBS variant is now Rs 88,391 and the Disc CBS Connected variant is Rs 95,891 ex-showroom Delhi - incremental adjustments reflecting input cost changes. No mechanical or feature changes have been made to the 124.7cc SOHC air-cooled FI engine, the Bluetooth connectivity system, or the full-LED lighting setup.

What We Like

  • Bluetooth connectivity in the disc variant links to Hero Companion app - navigation alerts, call and message notifications, trip data - at a competitive price for the feature set
  • Full LED lighting front and rear on both variants - better night visibility and a more premium look than halogen-equipped rivals in this price range
  • Smooth fuel-injected 124.7cc engine starts cleanly in all weather and delivers consistent city pull without the throttle jerkiness of carburettor 125cc bikes
  • Updated 'X' design language sheds the old Glamour's dated silhouette - sharper headlamp, revised tank, and cleaner panel lines give it a more contemporary identity
  • Hero's service network is unmatched in India - more authorised centres than any other brand, reaching tier-3 cities and small towns where other brands are absent
  • Real-world mileage of 52-58 kmpl is reliable and predictable - one of the more consistent performers in mixed city and highway use among 125cc FI commuters

What Could Be Better

  • 10.76 bhp is the weakest power output in the premium 125cc segment - the Bajaj Pulsar 125 makes 11.8 bhp and the TVS Raider 125 makes 11.38 bhp
  • CBS-only braking with no ABS option in any variant - a meaningful gap at Rs 88,000-95,000 in 2026
  • Conventional telescopic front fork and twin-shock rear - no premium suspension feature to differentiate from budget alternatives
  • 122 kg kerb weight is not the lightest in the segment - TVS Raider 125 at 123 kg is similar but the Glamour X 125 feels less nimble at low speeds
  • Instrument cluster readability in strong direct sunlight is below average - the display washes out in outdoor conditions at midday
  • The 'X' premium over the standard Glamour XTEC can be narrow - compare features carefully before assuming the X 125 is meaningfully different

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Hero Glamour X 125?

The Hero Glamour X 125 is a well-rounded 125cc FI commuter for buyers who value smoothness, reliability, connected features, and Hero's service network over outright power. It's not the most exciting choice in the segment - the TVS Raider 125 and Bajaj Pulsar 125 are more fun to ride - but few 125cc bikes match it for daily usability over a long ownership period. The Rs 95,891 disc + connected variant is the version to buy if you can stretch to it: the Bluetooth features, disc braking, and LED package make the full price point sensible for a commuter you'll keep for years.

QWhat is the difference between Hero Glamour X 125 and Glamour XTEC?▾
The Glamour X 125 is the newer model with updated 'X' design language - sharper bodywork, revised headlamp, and contemporary graphics. The Glamour XTEC was the connected variant of the previous generation Glamour. The Glamour X 125 supersedes the XTEC in Hero's lineup with fresher styling and potentially updated features. Confirm current pricing at your dealership as the XTEC may still be sold alongside the X 125 in some markets.
QDoes Hero Glamour X 125 have ABS?▾
No. The Glamour X 125 uses CBS (Combi-Brake System) on both variants - drum CBS in the base, disc + drum CBS in the top variant. ABS is not available. Indian government ABS mandates apply above 125cc displacement, so the 124.7cc Glamour X 125 is not required to offer ABS.
QHero Glamour X 125 vs Honda SP 125 - which is better?▾
The Honda SP 125 is slightly lighter, has Honda's reputation for engine longevity, and has a stronger resale value. The Hero Glamour X 125 offers Bluetooth connectivity in the top variant (Honda SP 125 doesn't), has a wider Hero service network in rural India, and is slightly more affordable.

The Glamour X 125 wins on Hero's deeper service network in smaller towns. For sporty character and modern features: Raider 125. For service confidence and conventional commuter ergonomics: Glamour X 125.

Yes - it's purpose-built for this. The upright ergonomics are comfortable for 30-50 km daily runs, the FI engine delivers smooth low-speed pull in traffic, fuel costs at 52-58 kmpl are predictable, and Hero's service network means you're rarely far from an authorised centre. For buyers who commute daily on varied roads in Indian cities, the Glamour X 125 is a well-considered choice.
