New Hero Glamour 125 launch likely this festive season, to receive cruise control
Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to expand its 125 cc motorcycle lineup with the launch of the new Glamour 125, which is likely to hit the market sometime next month, during the festive season. The upcoming Hero Glamour 125 was recently spotted during a test run. This is expected to rejuvenate the 125 cc segment in the Indian motorcycle market soon. The images leaked gave us a clear idea about the upcoming motorcycle and its features. The new model will not come incorporating just a small upgrade, but looks like the next generation avatar instead. The new Hero Glamour 125 will come with a new switchgear and a fully digital, large instrument cluster. There is a cruise control button, which is a fresh feature addition to the segment. The cruise control toggle button comes integrated on the right side switchgear, under the ignition button. The left side switchgear is also new and comes with buttons to navigate through the new LCD screen, which looks like the same unit used on the Hero Karizma XMR 210 and the Hero Xtreme 250R. The instrument cluster adds premium appeal to the motorcycle, as well as showing a wide range of information. Some other key features of the upcoming Hero Glamour 125 will include Bluetooth connectivity for the instrument cluster. There will be turn-by-turn navigation, alerts for SMS and calls. The motorcycle will get a USB charging point as standard. Besides these interesting features, enhancing the rider convenience and premium quotient of the motorcycle, expect the upcoming model to come with a major design overhaul as well. However, on the hardware front, the Hero Glamour 125 would remain unchanged. Upon launch, expect it to replace the current model and compete with rivals like the Honda CB Shine, which currently leads the 125 cc motorcycle segment in the Indian two-wheeler market.

Hero MotoCorp's new ad encourages riders to own the street
Saatchi & Saatchi India has partnered with Hero MotoCorp , the manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, to roll out an integrated campaign for the Hero Xtreme 250R – a machine that redefines performance and style in the 250cc motorcycle segment. Leading with a brand film, the campaign positions the new streetfighter as category-defining, one that is the fastest and sharpest in its class, encouraging riders to own the street and the spotlight. A statement of confidence, the campaign is a flex of engineering prowess, and a signal of Hero MotoCorp's evolved premium vision. Rooted in the insight that speed today is as much about self-expression as it is about performance, the campaign targets a new generation of riders who crave speed, agility and style. Set against the industrial backdrop of a gritty container yard, the film stages a dramatic face-off between the Xtreme 250R and a line-up of high-performance sports cars , a visual metaphor for breaking convention. The narrative plays out as a high-speed challenge, where the motorcycle's precision, acceleration, and control outmatch its four-wheeled rivals. Designed to resonate with first-time 250cc buyers, the story subverts traditional power dynamics to deliver a bold message: 'streets have a new GOAT', establishing Xtreme 250R as the ultimate street machine. Kartik Smetacek, chief creative officer, Saatchi & Saatchi India, said, 'The thing that stood out in the brief was the Xtreme 250R's acceleration – 0 to 60 kmph in 3.2s. A little digging showed us that this wasn't just the fastest 250, it was one of the fastest things on the road period. Our idea came from the insight that speed is fundamentally about bragging rights. That's what we brought alive in a simple, impactful way.' Aashish Midha, head – marketing, India business unit, Hero MotoCorp said, 'Designed by Saatchi & Saatchi India, the campaign is crafted for a generation that leads with confidence, individuality, and purpose. The motorcycle has already set a benchmark in the segment and is receiving strong acceptance from customers across the country. Every second from 0 to 60 is a flex – of speed, attitude, and precision. This isn't just a motorcycle. It's a statement.' Through a media mix spanning television, digital, print, OOH and cinema, the campaign is set to reach consumers across the country. Watch the video here:
