Hero MotoCorp, the country’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, has entered into 125cc scooter category with the launch of Destini 125 with i3S — ‘idle start-stop’ system’ technology.
The new scooter will be available from Tuesday across Hero dealerships in the Delhi-NCR region at ₹54,650 (ex-showroom) for the Lx variant and ₹57,500 (ex-showroom) for the Vx variant.
The latest entrant from the Hero Group will be competing with the likes of Suzuki Access 125, Honda Activa and Grazia, and TVS NTorq.
The retail sales of the vehicle across the country will commence in the next few weeks, the company said.
The new 125cc energy boost engine produces power output of 8.7 bhp @6750 rpm and maximum torque of 10.2 Nm @5000 rpm. The powertrain offers 17 per cent higher torque and 9 per cent higher power than the existing 110cc scooter, it said. “The scooter market is witnessing a shift towards products with higher engine capacity. The 125cc segment in particular has been expanding at a rapid pace, witnessing a growth of over 75 per cent year-to-date this fiscal. The 125cc segment, therefore, is a focus area for us and we are strategically following a multi brand approach in this space,” Malo Le Masson – Head of Global Product Planning, Hero MotoCorp, said.
