Hero Glamour X 125 ABS launched at Rs 1.01 lakh
Hero MotoCorp has launched the Glamour X 125 with ABS at an ex-showroom price of approximately ₹86,567 to ₹1.01 lakh, with the upper end matching the reported launch price. The key change is the addition of ABS and Integrated Braking System (IBS) to a 125cc commuter motorcycle, giving buyers a new safety-focused option in this segment.
What ABS and IBS mean
ABS is designed to help prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking, while IBS links braking inputs to provide a more balanced braking response. For everyday riders dealing with sudden stops and unpredictable city traffic, the appeal is straightforward: the Glamour X 125 puts greater emphasis on braking safety rather than treating it as a premium-bike-only feature.
How it compares with other 125cc bikes
The launch gives the Glamour X 125 a clear point of difference in the 125cc commuter space. Buyers considering motorcycles such as the Honda SP 125, Bajaj Pulsar 125 or TVS Raider 125 will need to compare their available braking equipment and prices against the Glamour X 125 rather than looking only at engine or styling differences. The important question is whether the additional safety equipment justifies the price for your riding conditions.
Key things to know before you visit the showroom
- Approximate ex-showroom price: ₹86,567 to ₹1.01 lakh
- 125cc motorcycle with ABS and IBS
- Petrol-powered commuter motorcycle
- Claimed mileage: 65 KM/L

Is the price right for a 125cc bike?
The Glamour X 125 stretches into the ₹1 lakh range at the top end, so the price deserves a closer look before buying. The strongest reason to consider it is the safety equipment rather than simply having another 125cc commuter option. If ABS is high on your priority list, the Glamour X 125 has a clear selling point. If price is the main concern, buyers should compare the lower-priced alternatives and decide whether the additional braking technology is worth paying for.
Would you pay up to ₹1.01 lakh for the added safety equipment on a 125cc commuter?

Who it suits
- Daily city commuter — The claimed 65 kmpl economy and 10-litre tank make it well suited to frequent urban commuting with fewer fuel stops.
- Budget-focused buyer — The approximate ₹86,567–₹1.01 lakh ex-showroom range keeps entry pricing competitive for a 125cc commuter.
- Mileage-focused rider — Its claimed 65 kmpl efficiency and 124.7cc petrol engine prioritize economical everyday running.
- Rider wanting a five-speed commuter — The 5-speed manual transmission is paired with a 127 kg kerb weight, giving it a conventional commuter specification without excessive mass.
Worth knowing
- · The published safety specification lists drum brakes at both the front and rear, so buyers prioritising stronger braking hardware should take note.
- · The published owner-reported mileage figure is 60 kmpl, below the 65 kmpl claimed figure, so real-world economy may not match the headline figure.
- · On-road published prices vary substantially by city, from ₹1.05 lakh in Delhi to ₹1.16 lakh in Hyderabad, so the purchase cost depends materially on location.
