2017 Hero Glamour 125 Unveiled With i3S

The bike gets an all-new design along with a new BS-IV engine and i3S technology.

Announcing the commencement of its operations in Argentina, Hero MotoCorp today unveiled its new Glamour 125 as well, the first ever global launch of the company. It is a completely new motorcycle and gets both cosmetic as well as mechanical revamps. One of the highest selling 125cc bikes in India, the Glamour continue to be offered in both carburetted and fuel injected versions.

The 2017 Hero Glamour gets a sleeker design with a revised trapezoidal headlamp that also features Auto Headlamp On (AHO). The new split-spoke alloys look more stylish and the bike also gets a revised instrument console with a bigger LCD screen. The carburetted version of the bike will be made available in four colour options, namely Candy Blazing Red+Black, Black+Sports Red, Black+Techno Blue and Black +Tornado Grey, while the one with fuel injection will be missing the last option.

Ditching the horizontal cylinder engine, the 2017 Hero Glamour gets a new forward inclined vertical motor. The new BS-IV, 125cc engine is also said to deliver 27 per cent more power to 11.5PS and 6 per cent increased torque to 11Nm. Besides the new i3S technology saving fuel in traffic, the new motor claims to deliver 3 and 7 per cent enhanced fuel economy in the carburetted and the fuel injected trims respectively.

Other new features of the bike are LED tail lamp, a more contoured seat, and handlebar-mounted choke, while rest of the equipment remains unchanged. The new Glamour continues with the same telescopic front forks, twin rear shocks, optional front disc brake and more. The bike will be offered in 19 of the company's 35 current markets and its availability is expected to be announced in March or April 2017.
