The bike comes with a multi-colour LCD instrument cluster that supports Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, gear position indicator, distance-to-empty readout and an ambient light sensor.

Switchgear has been redesigned with hazard light functionality, while a wide handlebar and high ground clearance aim to improve rider control. For pillion comfort, the Glamour X 125 offers a larger seat with better cushioning and a wider rear grab rail. It also features a utility box under the seat that can accommodate two mobile phones, a tool kit and a first-aid kit. A Type-C USB charger is standard.
