Hero Destini 125: Price Expectation In India

Hero MotoCorp is all set to launch its new 125 cc scooter, the Hero Destini 125, tomorrow, on October 22, in India. First revealed to us early this year in February, at the Auto Expo 2018 as the Duet 125, the new Destini 125 is the first 125 cc model to join the company scooter line-up and will take on the likes of the TVS NTorq 125, Honda Grazia, and the Suzuki Burgman Street 125. There is already a fair bit that is known about the upcoming Hero Destini 125, except for the pricing, which will be revealed only at the time of the launch.

We do have some expectations with regards to the pricing of the new Hero Destini 125. So, considering the regular 110 cc Duet tops out at Rs. 49,900 (ex-showroom, Delhi), in our opinion, the new Destini 124 will be priced in the range of Rs. 52,000 to Rs. 55,000 (ex-showroom). Hero is known to offer multiple variants for its scooters based on steel wheels vs alloy wheels and drum brakes vs disc brakes, and we can expect a similar variant classification for the Destini 125 as well.

 Hero Destini 125 will be powered by a 125 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine

In terms of features, the Hero Destini 125 will include an optional front disc brake, Integrated Braking System (IBS), side stand indicator, service reminder, pass switch, external fuel filling and more. The Destini 125 has been completely developed in-house at the company's Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT) in Jaipur.

Powertrain wise, the new Hero Destini 125 will be powered by a 125 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, which is essentially a bored out version of the 110 cc mill frim the Duet 110. The engine is likely to offer 8.7 bhp at 6750 rpm and 10.2 Nm of peak torque available at 5000 rpm, and has been tweaked to offer better low-end power for higher urban usability. Maximising fuel efficiency, the Destini 125 will be the first Hero scooter to get idle-start-stop-system (i3S system).

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
