2024 Hero Destini 125 VX, ZX, ZX+ Variants Explained: What's Different?

Hero MotoCorp recently unveiled its new Destini 125 scooter with a refreshed design, larger wheels, and a front disc brake, among other things. It is the scooter's first comprehensive update since its introduction about 6 years ago. The powertrain is more or less the same, though –  a 124.6cc, single-cylinder air-cooled engine with 9bhp at 7,000rpm and 10.4Nm of torque at 5,500rpm. 

The latest iteration of the Hero Destini 125 comes in three variants – VX, ZX, and ZX+. All three variants have a projector LED headlamp, H-shaped LED daytime running lamps, a metal front fender, and an LED taillamp. They even share the suspension setup, comprising a telescopic front fork and a rear monoshock. However, there are a few fundamental differences in terms of features, colour options, and more. Let's take a look:

As standard, the 2024 Destini 125 features a boot lamp, a side stand engine cut-off, an external fuel filler, CBS, and a Type-A USB charging port. The model sits 785mm (the longest in its class) above the ground, while the fuel tank capacity and the under-seat storage are rated at 5 litres and 19 litres, respectively.
