    Worst scooter i have ever used.
    1 - self starting problem,
    2 - manual starting problem.
    3 - there is no good manual kick position,
    4 - worst mileage,
    5 - Doesn't start at morning time every day.

    In case if you want to start minimum 20- 30 manual kicks are used,
    7 - battery problem,
    8 - shake absorber problem,
    9 - petrol pipe will change in every service,
    10 - carpet is not good of destiny,
    11- engine automatic off in traffic ,when i3s is not in on condition. Over all it's better avoid to purchase hero - destiny -125.....

  • Spinal cord pain is permanent. Vital thing missed ime good shock absorbers

    1 year ago


    Rahul

    Vibrates at 30_50 speed.
    Design-wise is ok.
    The major biggest thing to avoid this bike is
    1. Low mileage 45kmpl.
    2. Severe back pain as shock absorbers won't work for damaged roads(pits worn out roads). Indian roads no one bothered we shud only own a good bike. No one lays the roads for us.
    Not knowing about these poor shock absorbers I purchased bike and now feel daily trouble while going to and coming from the office. Daily back pain.
    The spinal cord becomes damaged with this bike. Extremely worse shock absorber for this bike while tvs jupiter like bikes have great shock absorbers.
    I'm writing this review after reading all reviews that no one is aware of this issue which is a serious spinal cord issue. Pls have a test ride on dirty /washed-out roads with this bike and other good bikes if any if you are interested. Then take a decision. There are better alternatives.
    Thank you.

    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.

    V Surya Prakash

    Getting sound from first servicing. Not clear, is it destini issue or service issue. Given service to phones motors, kushaigua, Hyderabad.
    Worst service centre. Always will add new problems with old problems. We are not clear is it model issue or service issue.

  • I chosen wrongly destini bike

    1 year ago


    Omkar

    The riding experience was horrible
    And no proper mechanics in the service centre
    In the service centre, they will do only water wash and oil change that's it
    So many time I told shock absorbers are not working
    Again and again, I am getting the same problem
    Really I had bad experiences with the hero service centre
    I don't want to buy again hero bikes.

    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.

  • Worst scooter

    2 years ago


    Saud Chiplunkar

    Honestly speaking it's the worst scooter from hero... When you ride it feels like very least power. Don't go for it. The look is average. But when it comes to performance it's lacking. I thought a hero is the best choice for me but I am wrong...Hero has to improve his scooter...Overall it's not a good scooter.

  • Bad quality, don't buy.

    2 years ago


    Sanjib Keshary Tripathy

    This bike has so many problems as listed below
    1. Starting problems
    2. Auto stop on ride on road in moving conditions.
    3. All electrical switch are not working properly.
    4. Mileage very is low
    5. It's been a worse scenario in my case and all hero users, as they provide very poor product, it is also too bad, with bad suspension issue, even my meter shows 1500km more than actual. Company should recall this product. All people are facing same issues. Showroom owners are just like drunkards, they don't talk to us. After 3 months it looks as if it was a great mistake to buy. Why can't hero close these dealers as too poor customer support or no support too.

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.

  • Hero Destini 125 review

    2 years ago


    V Surya Prakash

    Getting sound from first servicing. Not clear, is it destini issue or service issue. Given service to phones motors, kushaigua, Hyderabad.
    Worst service centre. Always will add new problems with old problems. We are not clear is it model issue or service issue.

  • I chosen wrongly destini bike

    1 year ago


    Omkar

    The riding experience was horrible
    And no proper mechanics in the service centre
    In the service centre, they will do only water wash and oil change that's it
    So many time I told shock absorbers are not working
    Again and again, I am getting the same problem
    Really I had bad experiences with the hero service centre
    I don't want to buy again hero bikes.

    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.

    Honestly speaking it's the worst scooter from hero... When you ride it feels like very least power. Don't go for it. The look is average. But when it comes to performance it's lacking.

    Sanjib Keshary Tripathy

    This bike has so many problems as listed below
    1. Starting problems
    2. Auto stop on ride on road in moving conditions.
    3. All electrical switch are not working properly.
    4. Mileage very is low
    5. It's been a worse scenario in my case and all hero users, as they provide very poor product, it is also too bad, with bad suspension issue, even my meter shows 1500km more than actual. Company should recall this product. All people are facing same issues. Showroom owners are just like drunkards, they don't talk to us. After 3 months it looks as if it was a great mistake to buy. Why can't hero close these dealers as too poor customer support or no support too.

  • Its hell of problems

    2 years ago


    Jaya Chandra

    Worst scooter i have ever used.
    1 - self starting problem,
    2 - manual starting problem.
    3 - there is no good manual kick position,
    4 - worst mileage,
    5 - Doesn't start at morning time every day.
    6 - in rainy season completely does not start.
    In case if you want to start minimum 20- 30 manual kicks are used,
    7 - battery problem,
    8 - shake absorber problem,
    9 - petrol pipe will change in every service,
    10 - carpet is not good of destiny,
    11- engine automatic off in traffic ,when i3s is not in on condition. Over all it's better avoid to purchase hero - destiny -125.....

  • Spinal cord pain is permanent. Vital thing missed ime good shock absorbers

    1 year ago


    Rahul

    Vibrates at 30_50 speed.
    Design-wise is ok.
    The major biggest thing to avoid this bike is
    1. Low mileage 45kmpl.
    2. Severe back pain as shock absorbers won't work for damaged roads(pits worn out roads). Indian roads no one bothered we shud only own a good bike. No one lays the roads for us.
    Not knowing about these poor shock absorbers I purchased bike and now feel daily trouble while going to and coming from the office. Daily back pain.
    The spinal cord becomes damaged with this bike. Extremely worse shock absorber for this bike while tvs jupiter like bikes have great shock absorbers.
    I'm writing this review after reading all reviews that no one is aware of this issue which is a serious spinal cord issue. Pls have a test ride on dirty /washed-out roads with this bike and other good bikes if any if you are interested. Then take a decision. There are better alternatives.
    Thank you.

    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.
