Powerful Engine and Performance
The Hero Destini 125 comes with a 124.6cc single-cylinder engine. This engine can generate 9 bhp (brake horsepower) and 10.4 Nm (Newton meters) of torque. The engine is mated to a CVT (continuously variable transmission), making it smooth and easy to ride in the city and on highways.
The scooter’s fuel efficiency is also impressive. Hero claims the new Destini 125 can give around 59 kilometers per liter, making it a fuel-efficient choice for daily commuting.
Comfort and Ride Quality
Hero has focused on improving the comfort of the rider. The new Destini 125 comes with a telescopic suspension at the front and a monoshock suspension at the rear. This combination helps absorb bumps on the road, giving the rider a smooth and comfortable ride.
In terms of braking, the VX variant comes with 130mm drum brakes on both the front and rear. However, the ZX and ZX+ variants come with a 190mm front disc brake for better stopping power. All variants of the scooter come with a Combined Braking System (CBS), which helps reduce the risk of accidents by applying both brakes together when you press one lever.
Smart Features for Modern Riders
One of the most exciting features of the new Destini 125 is its smart technology. The ZX and ZX+ variants come with a full LCD instrument cluster, which provides easy-to-read information. This display also has smartphone connectivity, allowing riders to access features like turn-by-turn navigation, auto-cancel indicators, and a boot light.
The ZX+ variant also gets extra copper chrome accents and a cushioned backrest for added comfort.
Safety Features
Safety is always a priority, and Hero has made sure that the new Destini 125 is safe to ride.

The combination of disc brakes on higher variants and drum brakes on the VX ensures smooth stopping.
