Hero Glamour X uses the same 124.7 cc air-cooled engine found in the Xtreme 125 R producing 11.5 PS and 10.5 Nm
Hero MotoCorp introduced the Glamour X a few days ago and is packed with features – so much so that it is undoubtedly the most advanced 125 cc motorcycle out there in the market with segment-first features such as cruise control, ride-by-wire throttle system and more. It also gets a TFT instrument console with Bluetooth and turn-by-turn navigation and three ride modes namely Eco, Power and Road.
On the performance front, the Glamour X is powered by a 124.7 cc air-cooled engine that develops 11.5 PS at 8,250 rpm and 10.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. The motor feels well-refined across the rev range and the sweet spot lies comfortably between 50 kmph and 80 kmph where it delivers smooth power with minimal vibrations.
Even when pushed, the bike managed a top speed of over 105 kmph easily. In terms of ride quality, the Glamour X comes with a wide handlebar and good tank grip – offering confident ergonomics. The motorcycle rides on 18-inch wheels wrapped in 80/100 front and 100/80 rear section tyres – providing decent grip and stability.

The suspension setup consists of 30 mm RSU telescopic forks at the front and twin shocks at the rear with 5-step preload adjustment. The suspension feels supple, soaking up most undulations with ease while high speed stability inspires confidence – especially above 80 kmph.
Braking duties are handled by a 240 mm front disc and a rear drum brake. However, ABS is only reserved for the sportier Xtreme 125 R. That said, braking feedback is reassuring with CBS and the bike also benefits from Hero’s safety-focused features like panic brake alert. The Glamour X also gains Type-C charging port and a host of accessories.

While the seat provides decent comfort, longer rides tend to highlight its limitations as we felt it was not the best for extended hours in the saddle. During our test, the Glamour X returned an overall fuel efficiency of 55.47 kmpl. We covered 121.5 km in one go with the trip meter showing 354 km on the odometer by the end of the day.
The mileage numbers were recorded at steady highway speeds of 65–70 kmph, although Hero’s i3S start-stop tech didn’t make much difference in this scenario due to constant highway riding. Still, the real-world efficiency figures are respectable – keeping the Glamour X competitive in the segment. To watch our in-depth review, check the video above!
