The 2025 Glamour X comes with a refreshed design, marked by a distinctive H-shaped LED headlamp and taillamp, along with LED indicators. Wider nylon handlebar grips, an upright seating stance, a low 790 mm seat height, and 170 mm of ground clearance ensure practicality for daily commutes and comfort for longer rides.
Among its standout features, the Glamour X is equipped with segment-first innovations, including ride-by-wire technology with an electronic throttle body, cruise control, and a panic brake alert system for enhanced safety. An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the digital console’s theme, while a colored LCD provides over 60 functions, including turn-by-turn navigation, gear position indicator, distance-to-empty, i3s on/off, ride mode status, and more. Additional conveniences include underseat storage for essentials, a 2A Type-C USB charger, and both self-start and kick-start options.
Powering the motorcycle is the new Sprint-EBT 125cc air-cooled, 4-stroke, fuel-injected engine producing 11.4 bhp at 8,250 rpm and 10.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The motor features a balancer shaft and silent cam chain to reduce vibrations, alongside optimized cam profiles and gear ratios for sharper throttle response. The Glamour X also features three riding modes—Eco, Road, and Power—tailored to efficiency, everyday riding, and spirited performance, respectively. The bass-rich exhaust note and Hero’s AERA Tech tuning further enhance its character.
Suspension duties are managed by telescopic front forks and twin shocks at the rear, tuned for urban as well as highway comfort. Braking is handled by either drum brakes or a front disc setup depending on the variant, paired with Hero’s Integrated Braking System for added safety.
Hero MotoCorp dealerships are expected to offer festive-season benefits, low down-payment schemes, exchange offers, and extended warranty packages on the 2025 Glamour X.
