Overview

Introducing the 2013 Hero Honda Glamour, a quintessential motorcycle that seamlessly blends style, performance, and reliability. Positioned within the sport category, this model is designed for urban commuters and enthusiasts alike, providing an exhilarating riding experience while maintaining practicality. With its sleek design and bold color options, including eye-catching black and red finishes, the Glamour is not just a mode of transport; it’s a statement on two wheels. Hero Honda, a name synonymous with quality in the Indian motorcycle market, has crafted this bike with the intention of appealing to both new riders and seasoned veterans looking for an economical yet stylish option. At the heart of the Glamour lies a robust 124.50 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that produces a commendable 9.00 HP at 7000 RPM and a torque of 10.35 Nm at 4000 RPM. This engine, with its 9.1:1 compression ratio and advanced microprocessor ignition system, delivers smooth power delivery and responsive acceleration. The 4-speed gearbox ensures a dynamic riding experience, whether navigating through city traffic or cruising on open roads. The air-cooled system effectively manages engine temperature, allowing for longer rides with minimal overheating concerns. Coupled with a lightweight frame weighing in at just 129 kg, the Glamour boasts excellent maneuverability, making it a joy to ride in various conditions. The 2013 Hero Honda Glamour is packed with features that enhance both comfort and safety. Its tubular double cradle frame provides stability while the telescopic hydraulic front forks and swing arm with hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear ensure a smooth ride, absorbing bumps in the road with ease. The bike is equipped with a powerful single disc front brake for effective stopping power alongside a reliable drum brake at the rear, providing balanced braking performance. Additionally, riders can choose between electric and kick starters, with an option to reduce weight by opting for a model without the electric start. With a generous fuel capacity of 13.60 liters, the Glamour is ready to take you on long journeys without frequent pit stops. **

Pros

  • Agile Handling: The lightweight structure and responsive suspension system offer exceptional maneuverability, especially in urban environments.
  • Stylish Design: With its modern aesthetics and vibrant color options, the Glamour stands out, appealing to a broad demographic of riders.
