Detect my Current Location
The Hero Destini 125 scooter has been on sale for nearly 6 years, and during this time, it has remained largely unchanged, while both ICE and EV scooters have continued to raise the bar. Now, the company has teased an update for the Destini 125 on social media, which could perhaps be an all-new generation model.
- Is still a feature-rich and practical scooter
- Current model’s cycle parts feel outdated in 2024
- Priced between Rs 80,048 and Rs 86,538
Hero Destini 125 update details
The current Destini 125 is powered by a 124.6cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 9.1hp at 7,000rpm and 10.4Nm of torque at 5,500rpm. For the most part, the Destini’s underpinnings are par for the course with an underbone frame suspended by a telescopic fork and monoshock. Weighing between 114kg and 115kg, the Destini 125 is substantially heavier than its immediate rivals: the Suzuki Access 125 (103kg-104kg), TVS Jupiter 125 (108kg), Yamaha Fascino 125 (99kg), and Honda Activa 125 (109kg-110kg).

Currently, the Hero Destini 125 rolls on 10-inch wheels and uses 130mm drum brakes at both ends, which feels a little long in the tooth in today’s scooter market – especially when its ICE rivals offer at least a 12-inch front wheel and an optional front disc brake. With the anticipated update, we expect the top variant of the Destini 125 to feature a 12-inch front wheel (if not both) and a front disc brake.
