The 125cc motorcycle segment in India is heating up, and Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to make a significant impact with the updated Hero Glamour 125. Over the years, Glamour has been a trusted name in the commuter bike segment, and now, it seems Hero is ready to elevate this model to premium commuter status. With a launch date set for August 19, 2025, the upcoming Glamour 125 is creating quite the buzz, thanks to leaks hinting at exciting upgrades.
A Game-Changing Segment-First Feature
Industry insiders and spy shots suggest that the 2025 Hero Glamour 125 will introduce a segment-first feature that could redefine commuter bikes as we know them. The addition of cruise control is turning heads, as this feature is rare even in higher-end motorcycles, making the Glamour stand out from its competitors in the 125cc segment. If implemented, it will make daily commutes smoother and more comfortable, giving riders an edge in convenience and style.
But that’s not all. The 2025 Glamour test mule also reveals a fresh all-new instrument cluster, closely resembling the highly-rated Xpulse 210’s display. This new addition brings a modern and premium vibe to the bike, enhancing user experience with upgraded visuals and functionality.
With improved features like these, Hero is positioning the Glamour 125 as an appealing option for riders seeking more value, making it a strong contender in the premium commuter category.
Retaining the Heart of Glamour
While Hero is introducing exciting new features, the updated model will retain its dependable 125cc engine, offering 10.39 bhp and 10.4 Nm of torque. For existing Glamour fans, this is a reassuring continuity of performance.
Hero is also likely to address feedback from customers by improving build quality and switchgear, ensuring the updated Glamour 125 delivers an all-around refined riding experience.
Competitors and Pricing Expectations
The 125cc segment is a competitive one, with popular models such as the Honda Shine, TVS Raider 125, and Bajaj Pulsar 125 dominating the market. However, with its segment-first features, the 2025 Glamour is well-positioned to make a mark.
Pricing will play a crucial role in its success. Analysts estimate that Hero might price the updated Glamour 125 at approximately INR 1.20 Lakh (on-road, Mumbai), making it competitively priced for its class. The inclusion of features like cruise control and a modern instrument cluster will certainly make it a value-for-money proposition.
A New Era for Commuter Bikes
The 2025 Hero Glamour 125 marks an exciting phase for commuter motorcycles. By blending the reliability that Hero is known for with innovative features that push the boundaries of the 125cc segment, the new Glamour is set to attract attention from commuters and enthusiasts alike.
With its official launch just around the corner, all eyes are on Hero MotoCorp to see how this upgraded bike performs in a market eager for innovation. Stay tuned for more updates as we cover the big day this August.
