Hero Glamour X VS Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spec Comparison: What's Different?

The 125cc motorcycle market in India is getting more exciting with new models coming in. Two fresh options are the Hero Glamour X and the Bajaj Pulsar N125. Both bikes are close in price and size, but they are built with very different ideas. While the Glamour X is loaded with new features and comfort, the Pulsar N125 is aimed at riders who want a sporty and fun machine for daily use. Here’s a detailed spec comparison to understand how they stack up against each other.

The Hero Glamour X is powered by a 124.7cc air-cooled, 4-stroke engine producing 11.4 bhp at 8250 rpm and 10.5 Nm of torque at 6500 rpm mated to manual gearbox. The motor is tuned with Engine Balancer Technology for smoother operation and reduced vibrations, paired with a fuel-injection system. On the other hand, the Bajaj Pulsar N125 runs on a 124.5cc air-cooled, single-spark, 2-valve engine that generates 11.8 bhp at 8500 rpm and 11 Nm at 6000 rpm paired with a 5-speed gearbox, giving it a slight edge in outright performance compared to the Glamour X.

In terms of design, Hero Glamour X comes with a muscular stance with sharp lines and a Signature ‘H’ LED lighting package, including a high-intensity headlamp, position lamps and an LED tail lamp. Additionally, Glamour X comes with a multi-colour LCD instrument cluster offering Bluetooth connectivity, navigation and distance-to-empty. On the Contrary, the Pulsar N125 takes a sportier approach with floating body panels, fork sleeves and futuristic hexagonal design elements. Its aerodynamic slits channel airflow to the engine, while bold color schemes and aggressive styling ensure it stands out on the road.

Where the Glamour X really makes headlines is in its segment-first features like Ride-by-Wire, Cruise Control, three riding modes (Eco, Road, Power) and a Panic Brake Alert system. It even offers the world’s first low-battery kick-start feature, enabled by Hero’s AERA Tech platform. The Pulsar N125 keeps things simpler. It gets LED lighting, CBS braking and Bluetooth connectivity (on the higher variant).

The Hero Glamour X focuses on comfort with a wide handlebar, improved seat cushioning, high ground clearance (170 mm) and a premium rear grab rail. It also adds utility features like an under-seat storage box, USB Type-C charger and an ergonomically designed switchgear. In comparison, the Pulsar N125 comes with a slightly higher ground clearance 198 mm and sporty riding stance, making it well-suited for urban roads with potholes and speed breakers. Its 795 mm seat height ensures it is accessible to most riders, while the 1295 mm wheelbase provides agility in traffic.

Hero Glamour X has a Wheelbase of 1267 mm, seat height of 790 mm and kerb weight of 125.5 – 127 kg depending on variant. Fuel tank capacity stands at 10 liters.
