All-New 125 cc BS6 Engine

The new Hero Glamour also boasts of Hero’s Auto Sail technology, which essentially allows the rider to crawl ahead in traffic, without downshifting, and also comes equipped with Hero’s idle start-stop system, called i3S. The i3S system cuts the engine when the bike is stationary for a period of time, like at a stop light, and just a pull of the clutch fires up the engine, ensuring fuel savings.
