Hero MotoCorp introduced a new variant of the Glamour X 125 equipped with single-channel ABS paired with an Integrated Braking System (IBS), pricing the motorcycle at Rs 1.01 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The home-grown two-wheeler manufacturer positions the model as the first motorcycle in India’s 125cc commuter category to offer an anti-lock braking system coupled with linked brakes. The update sits at the top of the existing Glamour X range, offering added wheel control without altering the underlying mechanical package.

Braking Hardware and Safety Gear
The core upgrade focuses entirely on braking safety. The single-channel ABS monitors the front wheel to stop it from skidding under hard stops on wet or loose surfaces. Working alongside it is the Integrated Braking System, which distributes braking force to both wheels when the rider engages the rear brake pedal. Hero MotoCorp also retains its Panic Brake Alert, a safety setup that rapidly flashes the hazard lamps under sudden deceleration to alert motorists behind the bike.
Engine Specifications and Cycle Parts
The Glamour X 125 retains the proven 124.7cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. The motor develops 11.4 bhp of power at 8,250 rpm and 10.5 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm, mated to a five-speed gearbox. Riders can switch between three engine modes: Eco, Road, and Power. The motorcycle also retains cruise control, a rare feature in this displacement class.
Suspension duties rely on conventional telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers. The bike rolls on alloy wheels fitted with tubeless tyres, using a front disc brake to host the ABS tone ring and a rear drum unit linked to the IBS assembly.
Features and Tech Equipment
Riders get a full-colour TFT digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. The screen supports turn-by-turn navigation along with incoming call and SMS notifications. Additional utility items include a USB Type-C charging port, all-LED illumination for the headlamp and tail lamp, and dual under-seat storage compartments for mobile phones.
Market Placement and Pricing
At Rs 1.01 lakh, the ABS version commands a premium of roughly Rs 11,500 over the standard non-ABS trims, which start near Rs 89,500. The new variant competes directly against 125cc rivals like the TVS Raider 125 and the Bajaj Pulsar 125 in the Indian commuter space.
