| Cons | 1. When pushed (higher speeds, pillion, inclines), the power and refinement are not exceptional 2. Users report that panel gaps, part fitting, some components don’t feel premium 3. Lack of features like ABS | 1. Stiff suspension — not ideal for rough terrain or bad roads. 2. Tall seat height (≈835 mm) — can be difficult for shorter riders. 3. Small fuel tank (12 L) — limits range on long trips. 4. Average braking feel — initial bite could be stronger. 5. Single variant, limited accessories — fewer customization or upgrade options. |
| 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. | — |

| Expert Review | This is very good bike for daily commute., 4, MotoAutiv Team | The Suzuki V-Strom SX is a well-balanced 250 cc adventure tourer that blends strong performance, refined engine smoothness, and comfortable ergonomics for daily rides and long tours. It handles well on highways and light trails, offering great stability and modern features. However, its stiff suspension and limited off-road ability make it more of a road-focused adventure bike than a true trail machine, 4.1, MotoAutiv Team |
