Design
Looking at the design of Hero Glamour X, you will not feel that it is a commuter bike. Its slim and stylish body, sharp headlight unit and H-shaped DRLs make it stand out on the road. The bike comes with two types of visor options, short and tall. Due to which the sculpted fuel tank and tank extensions add to its beauty.
Another interesting thing is that this bike also has a kick starter, which is rarely seen in today’s bikes. At the same time, the pillion seat has been made about 10% larger, which will also provide comfort to the person sitting behind.
