The Hero Glamour is the Gurgaon-based two-wheeler majors mid-sized commuter fighter. It follows the same principle as the 100cc commuter motorcycles but adds more value in the form of increased feature list and contemporary styling.
The Hero Glamours styling tweaks include a large headlight cowl which includes a front cover for the instrument console, multi coloured body graphics, body coloured rear-view mirrors and a two-tone front mud guard. Like the smaller bikes the instrument console is very basic in nature and contains an analogue speedometer, fuel gauge and a single trip meter. It is offered in five colour combinations with black being the base shade for blue, red, brown, yellow. There is also a full red and full brown colour scheme.
The Glamour is powered by a 125cc unit that produces 8bhp and 10Nm of torque.It is offered in two variants-drum brake and disc brake of the latter has been priced Rs 3,000 more. The engine sends power via a chain drive and a four-speed sequential gearbox.
The 2017 iteration of the Glamour is the first motorcycle to be developed from scratch by Hero MotoCorp after the Honda split. It retains all the features and specs from its previous avatar. It gets the same muscular styling with funky decals. The instrument cluster on the motorcycle too is still part digital and part analogue. It also continues to get 'i3s' technology, which is Hero's patented start/stop tech to maximise fuel economy. The Hero Glamour SV is powered by a 125cc single cylinder petrol engine producing 11.5bhp of power and 11Nm of torque. This mill comes mated to a four-speed gearbox. While the FI (electronic fuel-injection) equipped Glamour is a different model, the Glamour i3s has only carburettion. Its company-claimed fuel efficiency is rated at 60kmpl. Hero offers the Glamour i3s in four colour combinations - black with blue, black with red, red and black with grey. It can also be had as a drum brake variant or as a disc brake model. The motorcycle competes against the Bajaj V15, Honda CB Shine, TVS Phoenix and the Yamaha Saluto.
The 2017 Glamour is the first motorcycle that Hero MotoCorp has developed from scratch after the split with Honda. The Glamour can be had with either carburettion or FI, but the latter is a commuter that caters to those who demand technology as well from their motorcycle. This is a stylish looking motorcycle with its clean yet sharp looking lines and attractive color schemes. Standard features include a front disc brake, lovely split-spoke alloy wheels, body-colored rear-view mirrors and a semi digital instrument cluster with real time fuel consumption indicator. The bike is powered by a single cylinder, air cooled 4-stroke engine which gets fuel injection for improved efficiency and drivability.
