Mid-range performance

Design, braking, engine refinement

Placed between the frugal 100-110cc and the more performance-centric 150-160cc, the Glamour 125 is one of the highest-selling in its segment. But then why does the 125cc motorcycle segment exist in the first place, you ask? Apart from the obvious that it offers the best of both worlds, it is a globally accepted displacement in the entry-level range that has strong traction in Asia, Africa, and South and Central American markets. And Hero MotoCorp has a strong presence in all these markets, which is also the reason for Hero to offer two 125cc motorcycles priced extremely close to each other, the Super Splendour and the Glamour 125.

While the Super Splendour is more of a functional commuter, the Glamour 125 offers a tad more in terms of appeal. Earlier this year, Hero launched the new-gen Glamour 125 with a tweaked design, updated mechanicals and a BSVI compliant engine. How has that bettered its real-world feel? We find out.
