Hero MotoCorp has unveiled the Glamour X 125, a 125 cc motorcycle boasting a claimed 65 km per litre fuel efficiency and advanced safety features like single‑channel ABS and Integrated Braking System. The bike is priced at INR 1.01 lakh (ex‑showroom).

  • Single‑channel ABS and Integrated Braking System (IBS)
  • Claimed mileage of 65 km/l
  • Ex‑showroom price starts at INR 1.01 lakh

On 11 September 2026, Hero MotoCorp officially launched the new Hero Glamour X 125 in New Delhi. Powered by a 124.7 cc single‑cylinder engine delivering 11.4 bhp and 10.5 Nm of torque, the bike offers three riding modes – Eco, Road and Power – to suit different riding conditions.

The Glamour X 125 is touted as India’s first 125 cc motorcycle equipped with both single‑channel ABS and an Integrated Braking System (IBS). The ABS prevents front‑wheel lock‑up during hard braking, while IBS synchronises front and rear brakes for smoother stopping power.

Tech‑savvy riders will appreciate the TFT instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity, turn‑by‑turn navigation, call & SMS alerts, and a real‑time mileage indicator. Full LED lighting, a USB‑Type‑C charging port, and dual under‑seat mobile storage further enhance convenience.

Additional safety aids include a panic‑brake alert and hazard lamp. The model is available in four colour options – Gun Metal Grey, Matte Axis Grey, Black Pearl Red, and Black Teal Blue.

Pricing starts at INR 1.01 lakh (ex‑showroom). The standard Glamour X with drum brakes is priced at INR 88,517 (ex‑showroom, New Delhi).

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that the introduction of ABS and IBS in the sub‑100 cc segment signals a shift toward higher safety standards in India’s mass‑market two‑wheelers, potentially forcing competitors to upgrade their entry‑level line‑ups.

"Hero’s move raises the safety bar for affordable motorcycles, while the 65 kmpl claim strengthens consumer confidence," says automotive analyst Rajesh Singh.
