How many variants does Hero Destini 125 come in?

The Destini 125 makes a practical case for weekday city use with claimed mileage of 59 kmpl, a 770 mm seat and useful everyday equipment. Its automatic CVT keeps operation simple, while 9 bhp and 10.4 Nm give it more power and torque than the Yamaha Ray ZR 125. The LED headlamp, USB charging port, boot light and helmet hooks add convenience; Bluetooth and turn-by-turn navigation are listed.
