Hero Glamour Xtec — Overview

The Hero Glamour Xtec is a commuter bike available at a price range of Rs. 84,352 - Rs. 88,569 in India. It comes in 2 variants and 4 colours. It is powered by a 124.7 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a user reported mileage of 53 kmpl. With both front and rear drum brakes, the Hero Glamour Xtec comes with combined braking system on both wheels. The Glamour Xtec bike weighs 122 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 10 liters. It develops a power output of 10.72 bhp and a torque of 10.6 Nm.

The Hero Glamour Xtec was the first 125cc commuter in India to pack Bluetooth-connected turn-by-turn navigation into a sub-Rs 90,000 package - a genuine segment-first that landed back in July 2021. Today it sits at Rs 84,352 for the drum variant and Rs 88,569 for the disc, and if you can find one at a Hero dealership, it's still a compelling daily runner. The 124.7cc fuel-injected engine returns a claimed 63 kmpl, real-world owners report 50-55 kmpl even in city traffic, and the 122 kg kerb weight makes it easy to thread through Mumbai rush hour or squeeze into a Bangalore parking spot. That said, a cluster of owner complaints around engine stalling and starting reliability mean you should test ride thoroughly before signing anything - this is not the unbothered hero of the 125cc class.

Hero Glamour Xtec Latest Updates

View all

  • Hero Glamour Xtec has been discontinued as of March 26, 2026. Both the Drum (Rs 84,352) and Disc (Rs 88,569) variants have been pulled from Hero MotoCorp's official lineup, with remaining dealer inventory being cleared.

  • Hero launched the Glamour X 125 on August 19, 2025 as the successor to the Glamour Xtec, priced at Rs 89,999 (Drum) and Rs 1,00,000 (Disc) ex-showroom. The new model adds a TFT display, segment-first cruise control, ride-by-wire throttle, and three ride modes (Eco, Road, Power) over the Xtec.

What We Like

  • Fuel efficiency that actually delivers - real-world owners report 50-58 kmpl, putting 10-litre tank range close to 550 km
  • Segment-first Bluetooth instrument cluster with Google Maps turn-by-turn navigation - genuinely useful in unfamiliar cities
  • Comfortable, upright ergonomics with a 798 mm seat height that works for a wide range of rider heights
  • Lightweight at 122 kg - noticeably easier to handle in stop-start city traffic versus heavier 125cc rivals

What Could Be Better

  • Engine stalling in traffic - multiple owners report the engine cutting off mid-ride while in gear, which is a real safety concern
  • Self-start and kick-start reliability issues flagged by several owners, particularly in warmer months
  • Disc variant at Rs 88,569 inches uncomfortably close to the Hero Xtreme 125R, making the value case harder to justify

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Hero Glamour Xtec?

The Glamour Xtec earns its place as a thoughtfully specced 125cc commuter - the Bluetooth navigation cluster is genuinely useful, the fuel efficiency is real, and the light weight makes city riding less tiring than most rivals. The engine stalling and starting reliability reports are too consistent to ignore, though, so treat a thorough test ride as non-negotiable. If the disc variant's price feels steep, the Honda SP 125 or TVS Raider 125 are worth shortlisting alongside it.
