New Hero Glamour 125 Spied With New Cluster, Cruise Control
Hero MotoCorp seems to be working on taking the next step to improve the commuter motorcycle segment by bringing in some unforeseen features in the segment. To begin with, a test mule of Glamour 125 has been spotted with a digital instrument cluster. While that seems like something that we have seen on multiple motorcycles in the segment, the brand also seems to be testing cruise control, which is offered on bikes of a higher segment. Although the test mule spotted is well-covered in camouflage, it is speculated to be the Hero Glamour 125. However, the information is not officially confirmed yet. Based on the pictures, the bike is going to carry forward the conventional design seen in the segment with a slim body and a single-piece seat. Along with this, it seems to have commuter-style foot pegs, a saree guard, and a functional grab rail. The list of upgrades includes LED turn indicators, a fully digital colour LCD instrument cluster, a new switchgear, and a cruise control system. It is worth mentioning that cruise control is a feature better suited to motorcycles higher in hierarchy, like the Mavrick 440, Xpulse 210, or the Xtreme 250R. However, the brand seems to be breaking conventional norms to bring such features to the lower segment. While the details of the mechanics are not known, we can say that the Hero Glamour 125, even in this avatar, will have a conventional setup. The claim is further supported by the fact that the bike has telescopic front forks. Similarly, the rear end is expected to have dual-shock absorbers. Meanwhile, the powertrain duties will be taken care of by a 124.7 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine kicking out 10 hp of power and 10 Nm of peak torque. It will be mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Once launched in the Indian market, the Hero Glamour 125 will find competition in the form of the TVS Raider 125 and others in the same segment.

Hero Mavrick 440 long term review
Model: Hero Mavrick 440 Top Test Started: September 2024/1,853kmCurrent ODO reading :2,705kmTotal mileage: 852km Overall efficiency: 30kmpl Our time with the Mavrick 440 has come to an end, so in this review, we shall give you a rundown of our experience with Hero's cruiser. Let's start with the performance of the 440cc, single-cylinder, air-oil cooled mill where the Mavrick impressed in some respects, but also left us wanting for more. As you start it up and get going, the motorcycle gives you an instant gush of torque that one would expect from a long-stroke engine. As the revs climb, the delivery of power remains linear but is accompanied by a loud growl of the exhaust that some may find bothersome. What is not bothersome, though, is the handling, because even after being a 187kg motorcycle, the Mavrick is easy to manoeuvre, especially when driven in traffic. That, along with general highway cruising at 80-100kmph is where the Mavrick feels at home, beyond which the cracks start to appear. Vibrations from the engine start becoming more pronounced at speeds of above 110kmph as if the engine is resisting your attempts to go faster. The 440cc, single-cylinder engine is quite powerful and torquey The next aspect is design, and this is where the Mavrick seems to be confused in its approach. The LED headlamps and fuel tank give the motorcycle a aggressive look, which does not does not seem to coincide with the design of the muffler and rear lights, which take a simpler approach. All in all, the Mavrick 440 is a step in the right direction for Hero, but the Indian automaker has not quite hit the perfect spot with this product yet. The Mavrick's fuel tank gives it a muscular and aggressive look.
