New Hero Glamour - New Looks , Features and a BS6 engine.

Hero has refreshed it's most popular motorcycle Hero Passion Pro and Hero Glamour along with newly introduced Hero Xtreme 160 R. The new motorcycles will be a part of Hero motorcorp's BS6 fleet. In this article I am going to tell you about the New Hero Glamour.
The Hero Glamour has always been a popular as well as a trusted motorcycle in the 125cc segment. Overtime there are changes but the frame and the body remained the same as a reliable option.
As we all know that after 1st April 2020 no more BS4 bikes would be sold so, Hero is prepared for the BS6 norms.

The new Glamour gets an all new fascia as well as there are minor changes in the rest of the body. The bike retains same colour options as well as stickers. It cames with the same rear view mirrors as well as instrumental console.
The new Glamour comes with a new Headlamp and smoke treatment for the pilot lamps. I did spotted minor changes on the tank too. Other than these the bikes gets an all new Diamond frame. Earlier Glamour use to come with double cradle frame but now it features a new Diamond frame. Not just that the bike now gets more suspension travel by 14% more in front and 10% more in rear which increases the ground clearance by 30%. This make a huge change in the overall ergonomics of the motorcycle.

Compairing with the BS4 engine, the new engine has dropped power by 1 PS and 1 Nm of torque.
