Glamour Xtec Specifications

The Hero Glamour Xtec is powered by a 124.7cc single-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine that produces 10.72 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 10.6 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. It is paired with a 5-speed gearbox. These numbers sit in the middle of the 125cc commuter pack - the TVS Raider 125 edges ahead with 11.2 bhp, while the Honda SP 125 matches the Glamour Xtec's 10.7 bhp.

Hero claims a mileage of 63 kmpl under ARAI test conditions, and real-world owner data backs this up reasonably well - most owners report 50-58 kmpl in mixed city and highway use. The 10-litre fuel tank gives a realistic range of 500-580 km per fill.

At 122 kg kerb weight, the Glamour Xtec is among the lighter bikes in its class, and its 798 mm seat height suits riders from around 5'3" upward without difficulty. Ground clearance is 180 mm - adequate for broken city roads and speed breakers.

The suspension uses a telescopic fork up front and dual hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear with 5-step preload adjustment. The braking setup uses IBS (Integrated Braking System): the Drum variant gets drum brakes front and rear with IBS, while the Disc variant adds a front disc brake with the same IBS linkage. Both use 18-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres - 80/100-18 at the front and 100/80-18 at the rear.

Standout features include: a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, Google Maps turn-by-turn navigation, real-time mileage display, auto start-stop, USB charging port, LED headlight with DRL, and side-stand engine cut-off. The 5-year/70,000 km warranty with 5 free services is one of the better after-sales packages in this price band.
