Hero Motocorp launching the 2017 Hero
Glamour 125 with cosmetic as well as mechanical changes. The Hero Glamour will
be called the Hero Ignitor in Latin America.
The Hero Glamour will continue in two versions –
carbureted and fuel injected. The air-cooled single cylinder, OHC engine
produces a maximum power output of 11.4 bhp at 7500 rpm and maximum
torque of 11 Nm @ 6500 rpm, thereby giving the new Glamour 27% added power and
6% more torque with further improvement in fuel efficiency 3% (carb.) and 7%
(FI). The bike accelerates from 0-60 km/h in 6.03 seconds (carb.) and 5.64
seconds (Fi).
The commuter motorcycle gains LED taillamp and Auto
Headlight On (AHO) which will make the bike easily visible to road users in
dimly lit roads. The Hero Glamour also gets torque on demand (TOD). To keep
fuel efficiency numbers high, the 2017 Hero Glamour receives Hero’s patented
i3S technology. Essentially a start-stop mechanism, i3S switches off the engine
when the bike comes to a standstill for some time, say at a traffic light. To
resume, the rider needs to engage the clutch.
Hero Motocorp will assemble the 2017 Hero Glamour in
Argentina with parts from India initially. The carburettor version will be
available in four colour options (Candy Blazing Red+Black, Black+Sports Red,
Black+Techno Blue and Black +Tornado Grey) while the fuel injected trim gets
three colours (misses out on Black+Tornado Grey).
