                  A great city commuter for a value seeking customer
                  It had a great balance between power (9 BHP) and Mileage (Company Claims it to be 59 kmpl), which in comparison are greater numbers than what established rivals like the Activa 125 and Jupiter 125 to name a few. Ride comfort has been good due to the suspension being tuned appropriately. It does not feel bouncy but can run out of breath in speeds above 70 Km/L. The accelerator cable needs timely maintainance although replacing the same does come under company warranty are often them not. In terms of specifications, it is amongst the most powerful family scooters in the 125cc segment and the pickup feels more than adequate in the city. Company claims the mileage of the vehicle to be 59 Km/L and the maximum I have achieved is around 57 Km/L which is quite close. I would recommend to buy the base variant with drum brakes and a digi-analog meter as it is good value for money.

                  Trusted, Spacious, and Budget-Friendly
                  I chose Hero Destini 125 because I wanted scooter that looks good and is strong. I liked the metal body and the black color. It had a big seat which have good space for my bags. Also Hero is a trusted brand and I wanted a scooter that does not need too much care or repair. It was in my budget and the showroom was close to home. Riding has been great so far. The scooter starts fast and rides smooth. Even on the bumpy roads it does not shake much. I take it to my office daily and sometimes to market. Mileage is good and the brakes are safe. The seat is soft and I do not get tired. I feel safe and happy while riding. Cleaning is easy and it still looks new. Yes I would recommend it to friends and family. It is good for city rides and small trips outside. The service is easy and parts are cheap. If you want a scooter that is simple, strong and lasts long this is a good choice. Many of my friends asked me about it and I told them to buy this scooter.

                  Smart Choice with Practical Features
                  I was looking for scooter that is not too sporty but has power. Hero Destini 125 felt like a smart choice. It was available in nice colors and had features like i3s and mobile charging. I liked that the brand was Hero and the showroom was near me. It felt like a safe choice. It is very comfortable to ride. I use it to go to college and also to the market. It runs well even with two people. The fuel use is low and gives more than 50 km/l for me. The lights are bright and the digital screen helps in day and night. I like riding it even in traffic. Yes, surely. It is a smart scooter for people who want comfort, style and good mileage. Easy to use strong body and great balance. My sister now uses it too. I feel it is one of the best scooters at this price. Hero also helps with service and that makes it more useful.

                  Amazing scooter, I would recommend to all my friends and family and actually I own two of them. Hanging maintenance is not so much costly, so I am rating a scooter 10 and 10 from my side. A service support is also good.

The seat is also very comfortable. I would recommend everyone to buy it because it is the best. It is the best in mileage. It drives on the road and highway as if you are sitting in a car. The suspension is very good. Even on rough roads, there is no problem as its suspension is very firm and soft, so there are no jolts at all. I like it.

                  Perfect scooty for style and comfort
                  I was about to purchase Cng bike because of daily use and mileage but when I saw and ad about rizta. I was excited and then I calculated that I can ride 126 Km for just 30 Rs charging that was the moment I changed my mind for ather. Still while buying I was so confused that did I do the write thing as we normal people do. But when started riding the experience which I felt can't express in words this was the first time. I was using a ev. So much silent, And the pickup was superb, Also it has comfort but IDC range which was given that came down slowly now it has been more than 2 years I get 90 Km range. Rest is good. If ather improves battery again this will be the best in the market. Because there is no one who can be on the top in market if thing improve. What I like is stylish in look. Super affordable in terms of money which means I can ride 100Km in just charging of 30 Rupees. Comfortable for both rider and the person sitting behind. Also pickup is superb.
