Hero Glamour Xtec Price in Chirala

I have been riding this beautiful machine for 2 years (more than 30k km). And I have discovered a lot of things with the bike..
1. The design of the bike attracts more dirt, especially in monsoon. Pillion legs get dirty during monsoon.
2. Bike cowls are a little sharpy which looks stunning but it’s prone to scratches.
3. After a 1.5 the clutch kit is getting exhausted every 4 months. Failed self-start when it’s in gear.
4. The quality of the battery installed is disappointing as in my case in 1.5 years I had to replace it due to poor performance.
5. Although spare and body parts are cheap as compared to competitors. Love the way they designed the headlight section
6. There is no compromise on millage! Even after riding it over 30k km it’s still dealing in 53-54km/ltr (I have started using Power petrol after 1 year regularly)
7. Breaking systems although is a solid pack but felt the calliper is poor in quality as within 2 years it’s getting jammed. You can rely on breaks.
8. Love the tale light as it gives you an indication if there is any malfunction (the bulb is gone or there is an issue in the wired connection etc.)
9. Customer service is poor as at every service you need to serve the plate for them.. servicing people are not even trying to investigate while servicing the bike which may result in inappropriate service.. so you have to learn about your bike.
I can give the bike 4 stars out of 5 they just need to improve their design a little, taking pillion comfort into the picture and improving in quality of parts. I love my bike.

About the Reviewer

Glamour Xtech 2023:
It's been around 6 months, I've been using this bike for my daily commute. Writing this from my own experience & shared experience with users.
Cons:
1. The main issue is the starting problem, kick start/self-start mode. Starts only after multiple kicks. Sometimes empty blows while kicking.
2. The engine suddenly cut off while on a drive. Self won't work at that time. Starts only after multiple kicks.
3. The engine sounds loud. Sometimes Even for a small ride for 4-5kms engine loads heavily & cut-offs, won't start for some time.
For some times it runs smoothly like no problem exists with it. Sometimes it tests your patience.
4. I3 S was a failed upgrade - It starts only for a couple of attempts.
5. Battery charging issue. Dealer/Showroom service people won't support you with this issue. They were not ready to help you resolve this at any time. Not ready for replacement/repair. They just need money.
6. Braking system
Pros:
Comfort bike seat/height
Headlight/lighting system
Bluetooth connectivity
Mobile charging option.
Never expected this kind of issue from Hero. Strongly recommend a big NO for Glamour Xtech. After multiple services, the issues were not resolved at all. Totally wasted.

About the Reviewer

I just bought this bike 10 days back. Headlight is good, I didn't check the mileage yet, 0 to 50 pickup is good, decent fibre body.
It has a couple of issues too.
If you already have backache then please don't go for this bike, you couldn't ride it even for 5 km without back pain, it also has vibration issues and the gear shift is too hard to handle. Handlebar is too low for the seating shape and structure of this bike. You need to change the handle of the Honda unicorn and you should change the bike seat to control the back pain issues.
