Hero Glamour BS6: Introduction

The Hero Glamour is among the best-selling 125cc motorcycles in the Indian market. It directly rivals the likes of the Honda SP 125 and Bajaj Pulsar 125. A few months back, Hero launched the updated BS-6 model and along with an upgraded powertrain, the Hero MotoCorp also updated its styling and feature list. Here’s our Hero Glamour BS6 review.

Hero Glamour BS-6: Looks & Styling

Talking about the design of the Hero Glamour BS6, the motorcycle now looks refreshed and even more appealing. However, it continues to feature remnants of its previous design. This includes the chequered-flag graphics, which were offered with the first-gen Glamour back in 2008.

The front fascia of the new Hero Glamour looks sportier thanks to the aggressive headlamp housing design and the sharp-edged, tinted windshield which sports a ‘Hero’ badge. Illumination duties are taken care of by halogen units, which offer an adequate amount of throw while riding at night time. It also employs halogen side blinkers at the front and rear. Suspension duties are done by conventional telescopic forks upfront and twin-shock setup at the rear.

Hero Glamour BS6: Engine & Performance

The biggest update to Hero Glamour is the updated BS6-compliant powertrain. Mechanically, it derives power from a 125cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected unit that produces 10.87 PS of peak power at 7,500 rpm and 10.6 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. The motor now comes paired to a 5-speed gearbox with a one-down-four-up configuration. In order to successfully comply with the government’s BS-6 regulation, Hero MotoCorp has added a larger catalytic converter.
