| Detailed Overview | The Hero Glamour is one of India’s most popular 125cc commuter motorcycles, designed to offer a balanced mix of style, performance, and fuel efficiency. Powered by a 124.7cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine with fuel injection and Hero’s i3S start-stop technology, the bike delivers around 10.7 PS of power and 10.4 Nm of torque through a smooth 5-speed gearbox. It is known for its excellent mileage of around 60 kmpl and a comfortable, upright riding posture that makes it ideal for daily city commutes. The Glamour features a modern design with LED headlamps, attractive body graphics, and a semi-digital instrument cluster displaying useful information such as real-time mileage and service reminders. With its reliable braking system (available in drum and disc variants), good ground clearance, and lightweight handling, it performs well on Indian roads. Positioned as a stylish yet practical commuter, the Hero Glamour continues to appeal to riders seeking dependability, affordability, and a touch of sophistication in their everyday ride. | The Honda Activa 6G is a 110cc automatic scooter built around a step-through frame and a single-cylinder engine platform. The scooter is powered by a 109.51cc four-stroke, air-cooled engine that uses programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) for fuel delivery. This engine produces 7.99 PS of power at 8000 rpm and 9.05 Nm of torque at 5500 rpm, figures that sit within the typical output range for 110cc automatic scooters in the Indian market. Power is transmitted through a V-matic CVT transmission, which removes the need for manual gear changes and adjusts drive ratio continuously based on engine speed and throttle input. The engine incorporates Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) technology, which integrates mechanical components aimed at reducing internal friction during operation. The scooter also uses ACG starter technology, which reduces starter motor noise compared with conventional starter systems. These features work alongside the fuel injection system to manage combustion and throttle response during operation. The fuel tank holds 5.3 litres, with actual riding range depending on fuel consumption and riding conditions. The ARAI claimed mileage figure is 59.5 km/l, though real-world figures vary depending on traffic, riding style, and maintenance state. The scooter includes an external fuel filler cap positioned such that the rider can refuel without opening the seat compartment. The suspension setup consists of telescopic front forks and a 3-step adjustable spring-loaded hydraulic rear unit, replacing the leading-link front suspension used in earlier Activa models. The scooter rides on a 12-inch front wheel and a 10-inch rear wheel, both fitted with tubeless tyres and alloy rims on the Deluxe and H-Smart variants. Braking at both ends is handled by 130mm drum brakes, supported by a Combi-Brake System (CBS) with equaliser, which distributes braking force between both wheels when the rear brake lever is applied. No disc brake or ABS option is available across any variant. The scooter measures 1833mm in length, 677mm in width, and 1165mm in height, with a wheelbase of 1260mm. Ground clearance stands at 162mm and seat height at 765mm. Kerb weight is 106kg, placing it within the typical weight range for scooters in this segment. The instrument cluster is a semi-digital unit displaying speed, fuel level, and basic ride indicators. Lighting across the range includes an LED headlamp, LED tail lamp, and LED turn indicators. All variants include electric start, with the Standard and Deluxe also offering a kick start as a backup. The H-Smart variant adds a smart key system with remote locking, keyless ignition, and an engine immobiliser, along with a TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity and a USB Type-C charging port. |
| Expert Review | This is very good bike for daily commute., 4, MotoAutiv Team | The Activa 6G remains the default choice for urban commuters — reliable, fuel-efficient enough for daily use, and now with genuinely useful tech on the H-Smart variant. But it is coasting on brand trust more than engineering leadership. The suspension tuning feels dated on broken city roads, the real-world mileage falls 20% short of claimed figures, and the absence of even an optional disc brake is hard to justify as rivals close the gap. If you want the safest resale value and the widest service network, buy it. If you want the best scooter for the money in 2026, keep looking., 3.9, MotoAutiv Team |
