Cons :
Higher Price: Priced a notch above traditional 125cc
commuter bike-- might not suit those who want absolute cost-competence.
Feature Inequality: The drum variant does not have cruise
control, paddle switch, and panic brake alert feature.
Added Complexity: This nighttime process may require
increased electronics, thus increasing future maintenance or repair costs
potentially.
Weight Factor: At ~125.5 kg, it is heavier than simpler,
lighter commuters-- will be a disadvantage in stop-and-go or less responsive in
traffic or less maneuverable.
Fuel Economy: Though optimised to deliver in Eco mode, its
actual fuel economy may be lower than the ultrasmall basic commuters-ARAI
certifications note maybe 65 kmpl
Verdict :
The Hero Glamour X 125 is the new high-tech, sporty,
practical bike in the commuter segment, with technical innovations of bigger
sports motorcycles available under 1 lakh rupees. Although its advanced feature
list and design-based sturdiness command a higher price tag, reducing it with
the basic drum variant, it is a significant upgrade to urban riding, especially
in the favor of convenience, comfort, and contemporary appeal.
