Hello, welcome everyone to Time Drive. Once again, I'm here.
Ankur Tarej is standing beside me with my 2024 Hero Xtec Destiny 125 scooter
Mid and here its top variant is standing, so what did Hero do?
Features regarding the changed design in your new destination
Are you seeing this and the performance now?
How much has it changed, or hasn't it changed at all, for everyone?
I'm about to talk to you in this video
So let's first talk about some design aspects; in the front, you'll notice here
But this is its mid variant; this one standing here is its top variant.
The difference between the two variants will be in the three variants of Ala.
mid, base, and top — these are the mid and top variants of this.
The difference you will get in the base,
You won't see any Chrome elements anywhere there.
Those that are given here, in mirrors and the like, are placed in front.
You can see a few copper accents at the top.
Which are provided here as Chrome in the middle.
Moreover, the ones available are projector headlights.
DRLs are provided on the side here, and LEDs can also be seen from the front
You will see it something like this
Moreover, regarding the overall design, the panel you have at the front here
You get plastic below, which is your mudguard; you get metal for this one.
And the body panels provided on the side here as well
They also come in metal, so side
And the mud guard gives you the metal at the front.
You will see plastic there on the body panel
You'll get it, and you'll also get this copper accent at the back.
The way the color combination differs in both
The fuel light is directed somewhat backward from here.
You can refill it, and apart from that, there's the boot space.
If we talk about it, the boot space you get in this is that.
Eighteen liters of boot space is available in it.
Full size helmet I think
Probably won't be able to come
Half-size helmet, you can keep it easily
But 18 liters of boot space, I think
won't be very practical if you carry your backpack
When you go to place it there, you also need to bring it here, even if just a little bit.
I think I'll have to struggle, given the space here
And here, a light is also provided at the back.
Regarding the seat, the cushioning here is quite good.
It's dual-tone here, inside this top variant, and here as well
The mid variant here, you will find this seat in a single tone.
The overall seat cushioning is quite good.
Things are available now. Regarding space, it's boot space.
I've shown it to you, but even in front of you
There is some more space here, and it is also indicated in the front part of this.
You need to keep some mobile devices or a little bit of other belongings with you,
You can also keep portals and the like here.
There is also a USB charging port on it, and here in the center
Now let's come to the features; in this, what you have is,
You get a digital screen on the mid and top variants.
Although this is a negative display, a color display is not available.
But the base, which is there, will have the part
Odometer, trip meter, and all these options are available here for you.
In this small digital screen
We'll meet up, it's Hero's Beijing and so on.
A pass switch has been provided on the left side.
It's an indicator switch; take the indicator here.
Now, talking about some hardware, let's talk about tires; here in this
You can get 90-section tires with a 12-inch front size.
Disc brakes give you mid-range and top-end performance.
The front features telescopic forks.
Talking about the rear tires, there you have only 12 inches.
A 100-section tire is available in the rear part of this.
And its overall wheelbase is also slightly longer than before.
A single mono shock is provided at the rear.
You only get drum brakes behind.
Now, the drum brake option is available to you as standard.
I will stay, but you will be there at the mid and top.
The front disc brake option will be available.
Now, regarding the hero, even the performance of this scooter is a bit
Claims that its performance has improved compared to before.
The mileage figure has improved, and the wheelbase is larger.
So much better in terms of stability compared to before, along with performance
It's looking good, this new Destiny 125—now let's talk about it.
Now let's talk about the performance of Hero's new 2024 Destiny 125
How is ride handling now looking?
Let's take a quick look at what changes are being felt with the enhancement.
They are the power figures generated by its engine, 125
10.4 newton meters, and besides that, its wheelbase as well
Around 57 millimeters larger than the previous seat height there
The seat height has also changed, previously it was 778 millimeters.
It was, but now it has become 770 millimeters, that is, 8 millimeters.
Destiny 125 is going to be seen
Speaking overall about the ride, what's there is
The longer the wheelbase, the greater the corresponding measurement
A good balance is now visible compared to before.
What is in this is overall high speed.
There, too, it is approximately around 90-95, depending on
How much does the rider weigh, but you're not there
You can easily touch 95 speed on this.
At the beginning, the acceleration is not that high.
But the one in the mid-range with power, etc.
There is good power delivery to be seen there.
So, according to his performance, I would say
It's a 125cc scooter, as per scooter standards.
So, its mid-range looks quite good there.
Around 90, you can easily touch the scooter.
So, with this, I think the one with the longer wheelbase is better.
So he contributes to its balance.
especially when you're driving this new Destiny at high speed
Now, regarding some hardware, there...
In braking, you have the disc brake option available.
You will get disc brake at the front in the middle and top variants.
and the base variant, there you will only have
The drum brake option will remain.
Even braking, talk according to both high speed and low speed.
So it is precisely braking there.
It's accurate, and a nice bite is visible in its braking.
Now, one aspect that I liked the most
That's the scooter, and that's its suspension setup.
The absorption power that is the overall balance
What you see in a good suspension setup
Whether you're talking about something at a fast pace
Coming out from the bump, coming out from the speed breaker,
So, the absorption power there is quite good, and it's comfortable.
It does a very good role play in riding and balancing ride, this one
Besides the seat's overall cushioning and comfort, which are also good,
So even there, someone should compromise and show me this new Destiny 125
Trunk space is 18 liters, but I think here
You will have to compromise if you want to keep your belongings.
Need to store the backpack, need to store the helmet, full face
So according to him, I think this isn't a suitable space.
are. Now, the second notable element that comes to my mind is
Although the fit and finish are overall good, however
You'll see these gaps here in some places
and so on, which are visible
Now I can see a gap in this scooter.
Here in these panels and the like,
But over here, let me speak.
So, here this gap and the like are not visible.
So I think a little bit of fit and finish,
Something woke up today in the jungle
What elements should I add to this Hero's Destiny 125?
So overall, the scooter's look has been enhanced compared to before.
Premium features are being offered on the scooter,
Here is the copper finish, over there you have
The scooter is getting a chrome finish.
Overall, the premiumness has indeed been slightly enhanced.
Now, the second element that I think about is this one
It's quite good regarding its suspension setup there.
The exemption regarding these ditches or speed
A very good suspension for the breakers there
It's visible in this new Destiny 125.
Now, talking about such an overall package
This new hero Destiny 125
So I think the scooter is already quite
It has improved; a good balance is now visible.
It also requires more effort to achieve high speed.
No need to do it; just take a good look at the mid-range one.
It's really the suspension setup that gets it
Looks perfectly functional now, premium
Hero has launched this new Destiny only as a package, even in design.
Now, compared to before, some slightly premium elements are becoming visible.
And I think if you consider this capacity within this segment
If you're looking for a scooter, I think Hero's new Destiny
125 is definitely available in the market as a good package for you.
