Hero Destini 125 [2018-2023] Summary

The Destini 125 marks Hero's entry into the premium 125cc scooter segment. It borrows styling cues from its younger sibling, the Duet 110 with its masculine bodywork along with sharp lines throughout. It is offered in four variants- LX, VX, Platinum and a special 100 Million Edition.

The Destini 125 gets a handlebar mounted headlamp with LED guide lamps and turn indicators positioned on its front apron. Both variants also get an external fuel filler cap and the i3S system which helps in conserving fuel. It gets an analogue speedometer with a small digital unit that displays trip meter, odometer, and fuel level as standard.

The Destini 125 is powered by a 124cc engine that puts out 8.7bhp and 10.2Nm of torque. This unit is mated to a CVT gearbox. Braking is handled by drum brakes on both ends with a combined braking system (CBS) as standard. Meanwhile, suspension duties are taken care of by telescopic front forks and a linked monoshock at the rear.

Hero is offering the Destini 125 in eight colour schemes. To celebrate the crossing of 100 million cumulative production milestone, Hero has also introduced a special-edition model that is adorned with a combination of red and white colours. The scooter faces direct competition from the Suzuki Access 125 and Activa 125 in the country.

Hero Destini 125 [2018-2023] Review

  • Good Things

    • Has good fuel efficiency
    • Offers comfortable riding position
    • Has good service reach
  • Could be Better

    • Brakes could offer better feel
    • Has vibrations between 30kmph and 50kmph
    • Quality of components could be better

BikeWale's Take

The Destini 125 offers a plush seat, good low-speed stability along with decent performance and storage space. However, it could do better with a slightly more advanced braking setup and better ride quality.

      Akhilesh

      At this price, you can not look for better. Stunning. Have trust in Hero. Good mileage is 40 - 50 kmh depending on how you drive. A charging facility is also available. The weight of the scooter gives good balance on the road. Overall satisfied with the bike's performance. Thx Hero. Looking forward to good service in Hajipur.

      This is an awesome scooter for short rides as well as for long rides if you are going on a long ride make sure that you take at least 15 15-minute breaks every 60 to 70 kilometers I rode this scooter from Banka Bihar to Dehradun from 3 days via purvanchal expressway and Nainital barely road nice

      Around three years ago, I purchased this scooter and I'm really happy and satisfied with its performance. It is good to own and a must-have vehicle. I had tried Jupiter and Honda Scooty as well before finalizing this one. But Once I owned it, it seemed to revive that old and gold imagination of old times. Just name changed with the time. Buland Bharat ki Buland Tasveer. Hamara Bajaj. But now Hamari Hero Destiny !! Thank you

      I bought this bike in May 2019. It has an eye-catching look and is very comfortable to ride. My Starting was okay. but I had a terrible experience after 2 years. It has a starting issue. The starter gets short itself I changed so many fuses and showed them in the showroom also but no result. Now I am planning to exchange it.

      Do not buy Destini

      1 year ago


      Sandip Prakashbhai Patel

      Very bad experience with the bike. Starting issue even a battery changed. Service centers only wash the bike and get money. They recant and replace the battery, I did my self to pay for the battery. And even spare parts not available in the market as well as a service center. Very unsatisfied bike.

      Excellent improvement

      Tafazzul

      I must say it is one of the best scooters on today's date. It has an excellent pickup, mileage is around 50 to 55 kmpl. Looks attractive and has very good suspensions which make the ride comfortable. Instead of buying activa which is more into commercial usage or access 125 which has no pick like the previous, I would advise everyone to buy this destini.
