The Glamour Xtec and Pleasure Plus Xtec are already accessible in the domestic market, therefore the homegrown two-wheeler maker has been extending the Xtec in quick succession in recent months.
To explain the Rs. 10,000 price difference from the ordinary entry-level model, it receives a variety of design and functionality improvements. The 2022 Hero Destini 125 Xtec has a new LED headlamp, and chrome highlights add to the scooter’s premium feel. A new Nexus Blue paint scheme, as well as a front USB port, are among the features.

“The XTEC technology package has started to make a name of itself, being the signature for the latest technology and segment-first feature. We introduced XTEC editions on the Glamour 125, the Pleasure+ 110 with great success and today, on the Destini 125, which will further strengthen its popularity. “
Matte Black, Pearl Silver White, Nobel Red, Panther Black, Chestnut Brown, and Matte Ray Silver are some of the other colorways available for the Hero Destini 125. According to the manufacturer, the new LED headlight offers better intensity and hence a longer and wider reach on the road, while anti-fog enables superior visibility in all driving circumstances.
The rearview mirrors and muffler guard are chromed, and Xtec badging, as well as colored interior panels and a two-tone seat finish, are visible. The Hero Destini 125 Xtec model retains the same 124.6 cc single-cylinder BSVI compliant air-cooled fuel-injected engine that produces 9 horsepower and 10.4 Nm of peak torque and is mated with a CVT.
