Hero Destini 125 Prime Variant: Design Cues

The Destini 125 Prime variant's overall design and feature set are relatively straightforward. As opposed to the dual-seat option found in the Destini Xtec models, the entry-level variant comes with body-coloured mirrors, a single-piece grabrail with no backrest, as well as a single-tone seat. It gets a basic halogen headlamp in comparison to the LED unit featured on the Xtec model. Further, the chrome components around the headlight and the grab rail with a backrest have been removed.
