Overview

Introducing the 2013 Hero Glamour Programmed-Fi, a motorcycle that perfectly blends style, performance, and affordability in the competitive sport segment. As part of Hero's illustrious lineup, formerly known as Hero Honda, this bike stands out with its sleek design and practical features tailored for the urban commuter. With a focus on reliability and efficiency, the Glamour Programmed-Fi is particularly appealing to both novice riders and experienced motorcyclists looking for a trustworthy companion for daily rides and weekend excursions alike. At the heart of the Glamour Programmed-Fi lies a robust 124.50cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that churns out a commendable 9.10 horsepower at 7000 RPM. This power, combined with a peak torque of 10.35 Nm at 4000 RPM, provides a spirited riding experience while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency. The PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection) system ensures optimal fuel delivery for smooth acceleration and consistent performance across various conditions, making this motorcycle a joy to ride in city traffic or on open roads. The four-speed gearbox ensures that riders can effortlessly shift through gears, while the air-cooled system keeps the engine running efficiently even during longer rides. The Glamour Programmed-Fi isn’t just about performance; it’s also packed with features that enhance rider comfort and safety. The tubular double cradle frame provides a solid foundation, complemented by a telescopic hydraulic fork at the front and a swing arm with hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear for a smooth ride over bumps and potholes. The braking system includes an optional single disc at the front and a reliable drum brake at the rear, ensuring effective stopping power. The motorcycle also boasts a practical fuel capacity of 13.60 litres, allowing for longer rides without frequent stops for refueling. Available in vibrant colors like red, black, and bronze, the Glamour Programmed-Fi appeals to riders who appreciate both aesthetics and functionality. **
