Hero MotoCorp entered Argentina in January 2017 with
the all-new Hero Glamour 125. The motorcycle is retailed in Latin America as
the Hero Ignitor. Following its global launch, the bike was introduced in India
in April 2017. Now, Hero Motocorp has renamed the motorcycle the Hero Glamour
SV, while retaining the older Glamour.
The Hero Glamour SV is powered by a new 124.7 cc
mill coupled to a 4-speed gearbox. The engine is capable of producing 11.4 bhp
of maximum power at 7,500 rpm and 11 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The
previous generation Glamour produced 9.1 PS and 10.35 Nm. The engine is BSIV
compliant and the fuel injected variant allows them to be ready for BSVI norms
which will be applicable from 2020.
The fuel injected version of the Hero Glamour
accounts for 10 percent of the sales and is priced considerably higher than the
carburetted version at INR 63,580 (ex-showroom, Delhi) despite which it is the
most accessible fuel injected motorcycle in India. The carburetted Hero Glamour
SV starts at INR INR 57,755 for the drum
brake variant and goes up to INR 59,775 for the front disc brake trim (both
prices ex-showroom, Delhi).
The Hero Glamour SV also gets i3S technology which
is a start-stop technology helping the bike return an improved fuel efficiency
of 3 percent (carburetted) and 7 percent (fuel injected). An exact fuel
efficiency figure though has not been revealed.
Brakes in the Hero Glamour SV are a disc brake up
front and a drum setup in the rear. Colour options for the carburetted version
include Candy Blazing Red+Black, Black+Sports Red, Black+Techno Blue and
Black+Tornado Grey. The fuel injected version misses out on Black+Techno Blue
shade.
