Hero Destini 125 Highlights
Hero Destini 125 Price: Hero Destini 125 prices start at Rs. 55,580 (Ex-Showroom). Hero Destini 125 is available in 2 variants and 4 colours.
Destini 125 Engine and Specifications: Powering the Destini 125 is a new 124.6cc single-cylinder engine which produces 8.8PS at 7500rpm and 10.2Nm at 5000rpm. The powerplant works in conjunction with a CVT unit. Hero claims this engine makes 17 per cent higher torque and 9 per cent higher power than the existing 110cc scooter, the Duet.
The frame is suspended on telescopic front forks and a rear hydraulic shock absorber. The 10-inch wheels are shod with 90-section Ceat tubeless tyres. Hero has also equipped the scooter with Integrated Braking system.
Destini 125 Design and Features
The Hero Destini 125’s design language is similar to the current-gen 110cc Duet. Hero has gone for a more sober look compared to the other newly launched 125cc scooters in the country. There are two variants: LX and VX. The top-end VX variant comes with a large chrome chest on the apron, dual-tone seat cover, chrome garnishing on the side body panels, and alloy wheels. The scooter is available in red, bronze, white and black colour options. The entry-level LX version on the other hand misses out on these features and instead comes with a single-tone seat cover, silver garnishing on the apron and steel wheels. Instrumentation is an analogue-digital combo unit, with the digital inset displaying the fuel gauge, tripmeter, odometer readings and service indicator. You also get a side-stand indicator apart from the tell-tale lights. The VX variant comes with standard mobile phone charging port and boot light. Both variants of the scooter get an external fuel filler which is accessible via the ignition key slot. For the first time on a scooter, Hero is offering i3S as standard in the Destini 125. The system switches off the engine if it idles for more than 5 seconds and switches it back on when one of the brake levers are pulled and the throttle is opened. The company claims this feature can improve fuel efficiency.
Hero Destini 125 Competitors
Honda Activa 125 : Like the Destini, the Activa 125 also has a sober design language. However, this scooter comes with a few nifty features which the Destini lacks: LED headlight, optional front disc and eco speed indicator on the analogue-digital combo cluster. Reasonably, these features puts a premium on the scooter’s pricing, at Rs 59,921 (ex-Delhi) for the base variant.
Suzuki Access 125 : The Access 125 was once the most affordable scooter in its segment. However things have changed now, thanks to the Destini’s arrival. The curvy bodywork on the Access gives it a retro appeal, while the large 21.8-litre underseat storage enhances the scooter’s practicality too. Just like the Activa 125, Suzuki also offers the Access with an optional front disc brake. When it comes to pricing, the base variant of the Access is around Rs 1000 more than the Destini 125’s’ base model.
ZigSays
If you’re on a strict budget but are looking for a reasonably powerful family scooter, the Destini is an ideal product. Its i3S technology will help you conserve fuel, while nifty practical features like the service indicator and external fuel filler make the ownership experience all the more convenient.

i thought bike was fantastic but hero proved me wrong. for the initial 2 services bike was good, after that trouble started and bike is turning off when you are traveling despite i3s mode is off. it's getting turned off at signal points..it has become life threatening, when you drove in peak traffic. i don't know what is causing for a new bike to switch off continuously if break is applied.This was the first bike that I bought but it's a bitter memory for me. my father suggested to go for activa or access 125 now I had to pay off for my choice.i just wanted hero to fix this issue, i doubt whether they fix or not.

I bought this scooter on 2nd april 2019.Within a day i recognised that it has a problem of air in carborator. While riding it gets woofered. Wen i get back to service center. They changed carborator. Yet the problem was not solved then again suddenly wen i put the keys on ignition. The fuse was blown. It happened thrice. I just felt like kicking off this scooter. Very bad experience with Destini 125. Never buy this scooter its a request.
