Hero Glamour price in Bicholim

Recently I purchased a glamour black and accent model. Nowadays xtec model is only available.
The buying experience was good. On road price for the disc variant in Pune is around 1lac 5k. My riding experience was also good. It has a smooth engine and good pickup. Better road grip. Sporty and stylish look. Engine performance is also good. 1st servicing is yet to be done. Exhaust sound far better than honda shine. Go for xtec disk variant for a better braking system.
Pros-* better road grip
* getting mileage around 50+
*initial pickup is good
*led headlights
*sporty look.
*comfortable for daily ride
* Build quality is also good as compared with honda shine.
Cons -
* 1st gear sometimes stuck but it will be improved after service.
* engine kill switch missing.
* hero company should provide headlights on /off switch like previous models.

About the Reviewer

The bike started having problems even before the first service. The i3s was not always working, the engine sounded faulty and there was a problem with the accelerator cable. After the service the bike will be alright for a week, then the engine sound changes to creaky. I've now owned this bike for 3 years and I had replaced most parts of it in the service centers, starting from the battery (2 times), tires (2 faulty tires when I bought the bike), brake fluid reservoir leakage, front forks oil seal damage (changed 2 times), engine crank, bore, crankshaft, chain sprockets (3 times), chain, timing chain tensioner, voltage regulator, speedometer cable(2 times). The bikes are of very cheap quality. Never buy a hero!

Affordable bike commuter bike with good mileage, pickup and handling. The bike looks trendy, an eye-catcher for sure. The performance is good and hero bikes are always pocket friendly in terms of service cost.
The only con about the bike is the pricing, I would recommend this bike to others.
