Hero Glamour X 125 now gets single-channel ABS at Rs 1.01 lakh

Hero Glamour X 125 now gets single-channel ABS at Rs 1.01 lakh

Hero MotoCorp has added a single-channel ABS variant to the Glamour X 125, with the new version priced at Rs 1.01 lakh ex-showroom. The update gives the 125cc commuter a safety-focused addition while keeping the bike positioned in the commuter segment. The reported price sits at the upper end of the checked pricing range for the Glamour X 125, which varies across published listings.

What has changed on the Glamour X 125

The key change is the addition of single-channel ABS. The report specifically identifies ABS as the new feature and puts the price of the updated motorcycle at Rs 1.01 lakh ex-showroom. That makes braking hardware the main reason to look at this version rather than treating it as a broader mechanical update.

What stays the same

The Glamour X 125 continues with its 124.7cc petrol engine, producing 11.4bhp and 10.5Nm. It uses a 5-speed manual transmission and has a claimed mileage of 65 kmpl. The checked figures also list a 10-litre fuel tank, 790mm seat height and 127kg kerb weight.

Hero Glamour X 125 at Rs 1.01 lakh, is it worth it

The main points to consider are:

  • Single-channel ABS
  • 124.7cc petrol engine
  • 11.4bhp maximum power
  • 5-speed manual transmission
  • Claimed mileage of 65 kmpl

The checked pricing data puts the Glamour X 125 at approximately Rs 86,567 to Rs 1.01 lakh ex-showroom, with the exact figure varying by listing. The ABS version therefore sits at the top end of the available price range. Buyers should also check the exact variant and braking equipment at the dealership before paying, particularly because the supplied specification data lists drum brakes.

Should you wait or buy now

If ABS is the reason you are considering the updated Glamour X 125, the reported Rs 1.01 lakh version is the one to examine. The rest of the motorcycle's core specification remains familiar, so the decision largely comes down to whether the added safety equipment justifies the higher price within the range.

Would you pay Rs 1.01 lakh for the ABS-equipped Glamour X 125, or would you choose a cheaper version?

8/10

The Hero Glamour X 125 is a strong 125cc commuter on price, claimed efficiency and everyday practicality, but its listed drum brakes keep the safety score modest.

Who it suits

  • Daily city commuter — The 124.7cc engine, 5-speed gearbox and 10-litre tank make it well suited to regular urban use, while the claimed 65 kmpl efficiency keeps running costs low.
  • Fuel-conscious buyer — The claimed 65 kmpl mileage and petrol engine make it an economical choice for high-frequency commuting.
  • Budget-focused first-time buyer — The approximate ₹86,567–₹1.01 lakh ex-showroom range keeps the entry price competitive for a 125cc commuter.
  • Mixed city-and-short-highway rider — Its 11.39 bhp output, 105 kmph claimed top speed and 5-speed transmission give it more scope beyond purely low-speed city riding.

Worth knowing

  • · Published on-road prices reach about ₹1.16 lakh in Hyderabad, so the final purchase cost can be substantially above the entry ex-showroom price.
  • · The published safety specification lists drum brakes at both ends, with no disc-brake hardware stated.
  • · The 65 kmpl claimed mileage is higher than the 60 kmpl owner-reported figure, so real-world fuel economy may be lower than the headline claim.
