This bike is particularly popular in India, where it has been a trusted companion on bustling city streets, making it a favorite for both seasoned riders and newcomers to the motorcycle scene. At the heart of the Glamour lies a spirited 124.50 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that produces 9.00 HP at 7000 RPM and a commendable torque of 10.35 Nm at 4000 RPM. This robust engine enables smooth acceleration and responsive performance, making it a joy to navigate through traffic.

The 2012 Glamour is packed with features designed to enhance the riding experience. Its tubular double cradle frame provides stability and strength, while the telescopic hydraulic fork front suspension and swing arm rear suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers offer a comfortable ride over varied terrains. The bike’s braking system is equally impressive, featuring a single disc brake up front for responsive stopping power and a reliable drum brake at the rear. With a fuel capacity of 13.60 liters, the Glamour is built for longer rides, reducing the frequency of pit stops. Riders can also choose from vibrant color options including black, red, blue, silver, and yellow, allowing for a personal touch to their ride. **
