With its robust build and reliable engineering, this motorcycle is a testament to Hero Honda's commitment to quality and innovation, making it a noteworthy contender in the Indian motorcycle market. Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics: Power Meets Efficiency At the heart of the Glamour PGM-FI is a 124.5cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a commendable 9.01 horsepower at 7000 RPM. This power is complemented by a torque of 10.35 Nm at 4000 RPM, offering a smooth and responsive ride, particularly in urban settings.

Key Features and Technology: A Motorcycle Built for Everyone The Glamour PGM-FI is designed with rider comfort and safety in mind. Its tubular double cradle frame provides excellent stability, while the front telescopic hydraulic fork and rear swing arm with hydraulic shock absorbers ensure a smooth ride over varied terrains. The bike is equipped with a single disc brake at the front (240 mm) and an expanding drum brake at the rear (130 mm) for enhanced stopping power and safety. Weighing in at just 129 kg, the Glamour is light and agile, making it easy to maneuver. Riders will appreciate the dual starting options—electric and kick—providing convenience in different situations. With a fuel capacity of 13.60 liters, this motorcycle is built for longer rides without the constant worry of refueling. **

Pros

    Cons

    • Fuel Efficiency: The PGM-FI system enhances fuel economy, making it an economical choice for daily commuting.
    • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing just 129 kg, the Glamour is easy to handle, especially for new riders or those navigating through traffic.
    • Stylish Design: With its sleek lines and modern aesthetics, the Glamour appeals to a wide range of riders looking for both style and substance.
    • Limited Power Output: While sufficient for city riding, the 9.01 HP may not satisfy those looking for high-speed performance on the highways.
