Hero Glamour X 125 ABS Variant Launched at Rs 1.01 Lakh
News Synopsis
Hero MotoCorp has launched an ABS-equipped Glamour X 125 variant at Rs 1.01 lakh, adding enhanced braking safety and premium technology to its commuter motorcycle lineup.
Hero Glamour X 125 Gets New ABS Variant
Hero MotoCorp has expanded the Glamour X 125 range with a new variant equipped with a single-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS). The motorcycle has been introduced at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.01 lakh, making it the most premium version in the current Glamour X 125 lineup.
The latest update brings an important safety enhancement to Hero's 125cc commuter motorcycle. Alongside ABS, the new version continues with the model's existing technology-focused features, including riding modes, cruise control and a connected colour TFT display.
The addition of ABS represents one of the most notable upgrades to the Glamour X 125 since its introduction.
ABS and Integrated Braking System Added
The biggest highlight of the new variant is its single-channel ABS system. The technology is designed to prevent the front wheel from locking during sudden or heavy braking.
Wheel lock-up can reduce steering control, particularly during emergency braking or when road conditions are slippery. ABS intervenes when it detects a potential wheel lock, helping riders maintain greater control while slowing down.
The motorcycle also gets an Integrated Braking System (IBS), which links the braking operation between the front and rear wheels. The system is intended to distribute braking force more effectively and provide improved stability during deceleration.
Together, these braking technologies give the Glamour X 125 an added safety advantage in everyday riding conditions.
Glamour X 125 Competes With ABS-Equipped 125cc Bikes
With the new ABS variant, the Glamour X 125 joins a growing group of 125cc motorcycles offering anti-lock braking technology.
Competitors and alternatives in this space include the TVS Raider 125, Honda CB125 Hornet and Hero Xtreme 125R.
Hero's Xtreme 125R goes a step further by offering dual-channel ABS, whereas the Glamour X 125 uses a single-channel setup primarily focused on the front wheel.
The new braking technology allows Hero to position the Glamour X 125 as a more premium option within the commuter motorcycle segment.
Hero Glamour X 125 Price and Variant Lineup
Hero MotoCorp continues to offer the Glamour X 125 in multiple variants. The existing Drum variant is priced at Rs 89,999, while the Disc version costs Rs 99,999. Both prices are ex-showroom Delhi.
The newly launched ABS version sits at the top of the range with an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.01 lakh.
This pricing strategy gives buyers the choice of opting for a more affordable standard version or spending more for additional braking technology and the associated safety benefits.
Engine and Performance Details
The Hero Glamour X 125 continues to use a 124.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled petrol engine. The powerplant produces 11.4 bhp at 8,250 rpm and generates 10.5 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm.
The engine is designed to provide a balance between everyday usability and performance, which remains an important consideration for buyers in the 125cc commuter segment.
The motorcycle also retains three riding modes — Eco, Road and Power. These modes allow riders to adjust the motorcycle's throttle response and overall performance characteristics according to riding conditions and personal preferences.
Cruise Control Offered on Glamour X 125
Another standout feature of the Glamour X 125 is its cruise control system. Cruise control is relatively uncommon among motorcycles in the 125cc commuter category.
The feature is aimed at making longer rides more comfortable by allowing riders to maintain a selected speed over suitable stretches of road without continuously operating the throttle.
While it may be less relevant for congested city traffic, the feature could be useful during longer journeys on open roads.
Connected Technology and TFT Display
The Glamour X 125 also focuses heavily on technology and connectivity.
The motorcycle comes equipped with a colour TFT instrument console featuring Bluetooth connectivity. The display supports features such as turn-by-turn navigation as well as call and SMS notifications.
This connected setup allows riders to access useful information without relying entirely on a smartphone while riding.
The motorcycle further gets full-LED lighting, adding a modern appearance while improving illumination compared with conventional lighting systems.
USB Type-C Charging and Storage Features
For added convenience, Hero has equipped the Glamour X 125 with a USB Type-C charging port. The charging facility can help riders keep compatible smartphones and other devices powered during daily commutes or longer rides.
The motorcycle also features two under-seat mobile storage compartments, providing additional space for carrying small personal items.
These practical additions complement the motorcycle's focus on technology and everyday convenience.
Colour Options for the New ABS Variant
The ABS-equipped Hero Glamour X 125 is available in four colour choices.
Buyers can choose from:
-
Gun Metal Grey
-
Matt Axis Grey
-
Black Pearl Red
-
Black Teal Blue
The colour options are intended to give the motorcycle a more premium appearance while retaining its commuter-focused character.
Hero Targets Safety-Conscious Commuter Buyers
With the introduction of ABS, Hero MotoCorp is looking to strengthen the Glamour X 125's appeal among customers who want additional safety features without moving away from the commuter motorcycle category.
The combination of ABS, IBS, multiple riding modes, cruise control, connected technology and practical convenience features gives the motorcycle a broader feature package than many conventional 125cc commuters.
At Rs 1.01 lakh, the ABS version also occupies a premium position in the Glamour X range.
Conclusion
The new Hero Glamour X 125 ABS variant adds an important safety upgrade to the motorcycle while retaining its existing engine, riding modes and technology features. Priced at Rs 1.01 lakh, it becomes the flagship version of the Glamour X 125 lineup. Its single-channel ABS, IBS, cruise control, TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity and USB Type-C charging help differentiate it in the competitive 125cc commuter segment. With the latest update, Hero MotoCorp is targeting riders who want a practical daily motorcycle with enhanced braking safety and modern features.
