Hero MotoCorp has launched the Xtec variant of its 125cc scooter, the Destini 125 in India. The new Xtec variant of the Destini 125 gets additional features over the standard model. These include the addition of an LED headlight and Bluetooth connectivity. The semi-digital instrument cluster pairs with the rider’s smartphone via a dedicated application and provides alerts for incoming calls, missed calls, and messages. This variant also gets a USB charger.

Apart from the new features, the new Xtec trim looks more premium than the base model. This has been achieved through chrome highlights near the rearview mirrors and handlebar cowl. Other design elements include ‘XTEC’ badging, dual-tone seat, and coloured inner panels. Further, the pillion comfort has been enhanced with the addition of a backrest.

The mechanical specifications remain identical to the standard model and the Xtec variant, too, uses a 125cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. Linked to a CVT gearbox, this motor is tuned to deliver a maximum output of 9bhp at 7,000rpm and a peak torque of 10.4Nm at 5,500rpm.

The hardware on the Destini 125 Xtec variant comprises drum brakes on both ends to handle the braking duties. The suspension tasks are handled by telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers at the front and unit swing with a spring-loaded hydraulic damper at the rear. The scooter rides on 10-inch alloy wheels on both ends.

The Destini 125 Xtec rivals the likes of TVS Jupiter 125, Yamaha Fascino 125, and the Suzuki Access 125 in the Indian market.
