Verdict – The Hero Maestro Edge 125 is the most premium scooter right now in the Hero line-up. It covers almost all the drawbacks which the Destini 125 has and yet it gives a premium and fresh appeal. The biggest USP has to be the FI system which makes the Maestro India’s first scooter to ever get it. The Maestro rides well and has a very punchy performance, this coupled with the competitive pricing makes it a very attractive package. The Maestro does miss out on an LED headlight and a few more bits but makes a lot of sense for anyone upgrading to the 125cc segment.
What’s Cool
* Engine with FI has a strong mid-range and a good top-end
* Riding dynamics are on-point, the scooter feels very agile
* Braking feedback is just brilliant, the disc brake does the job well
What’s Not So Cool
* Does not get a fully digital console yet
* Misses out on an LED headlight, gets only a new DRL
* Under-seat storage isn’t big enough to hold a full-size helmet
