Hero Honda Glamour-Fi

Hero Honda Glamour-Fi
The Hero Honda Glamour-Fi is a pathbreaker in Indian two-wheeler industry for its fuel-injection technology. This technology offers superior and consistent engine performance with improved drivability, lower emissions, better fuel economy and extended engine life. Hero Honda offers the fuel-injection model of its 125 cc bike Glamour under the title Hero Honda Glamour Fi. The bike has the ex showroom price of Rs 49,900. Glamor Fi is the first chance when Honda is offering its fuel injection technology on low-end bikes anywhere outside Japan.

Looks and Styling
The Glamour FI has a diligently refined design. Its engine is integrated with a black color pattern and a distinct Fi logo. The design of the bike is quite similar to the earlier edition of Glamour except that its engine now incorporates better graphics. Lookswise, the bike has salient features like tubular double cradle type body frame, new body colored grab rail and rear view mirrors, trendy visor, body colored rear grip, body colored louvers on visor and rear view mirror, catchy design of smoke exhaust and guard, large petrol tank with brilliant graphics and sculpted knee recesses, black alloy wheels, red and black visual contrasts, voluptuous front fairing, dual-tone theme on the front mudguard and chain guard, and well-matched side and rear panels.

Control and Comfort
The bike has better fuel efficiency and is more environment friendly. The bike runs on unleaded petrol and introduces the Programmed Fuel Injection technology and Electronic Control Unit put into the space of a carburetor. Groundbreaking technologies take mileage and rider control to a level that is unachievable in bikes running on earlier technologies. Innovative safety features made possible by the PGMFI system are incorporated in the bike.
