The Hero Glamour has a mature, upright commuter design with well-judged and distinctive sporty cues. Chrome accents, a sculpted tank, and an LED headlamp give the Glamour a premium look for a 125cc commuter. The design is updated progressively with each generation while retaining the recognisable Glamour character and proportions.
The Glamour X 125, launched in India in August 2025, brings a significantly updated and more aggressive look. The fuel tank extensions are redesigned with a beefier and significantly more aggressive shape. A large windscreen adds a touring-influenced visual element, adding to the premium feel. Chrome elements on the exhaust cover add a touch of elegance to the sporty overall profile.
The Glamour X 125 comes in five colours. The Drum gets Matt Metallic Silver and Candy Blazing Red. The Disc gets Metallic Nexus Blue, Black Teal Blue, and Black Pearl Red. The discontinued Glamour Xtec came in four colour options.
The Glamour X 125 Disc gets ride mode-dependent full LED lighting while the Drum uses a halogen headlamp. Both variants use alloy wheels with tubeless tyres as standard fitment. The upright seating and wide handlebars make the Hero Glamour 125 accessible and comfortable for a wide range of riders.

The key addition is ride-by-wire throttle, which enables three selectable ride modes: Eco, Road, and Power for different conditions. Each mode adjusts the engine mapping specifically for different riding conditions.
The most significant addition to the Glamour X 125 is segment-first cruise control. A dedicated toggle switch engages it, with options to set and easily reset the cruising speed. This feature was previously seen only on premium motorcycles like the KTM 390 Duke and the TVS Apache RTR 310.
