Priced between ₹90,000 and ₹1 lakh (ex-showroom), the new Glamour X 125 takes on established rivals such as the Honda SP 125, TVS Raider 125, and Bajaj Pulsar 125. For buyers in this segment, the decision is now about more than just affordability—style, features, and fuel efficiency also play crucial roles.
