The Hero Splendor 125 is the latest addition to the iconic Splendor lineup, offering a perfect blend of fuel efficiency, reliability, and a more powerful engine. Designed for daily riders and budget-conscious buyers, this bike continues Hero’s legacy of providing low-maintenance, high-mileage motorcycles at an affordable price point.
Stylish Yet Practical Design
The Hero Splendor 125 comes with a refreshed design that appeals to both young riders and daily commuters. It retains the simple and practical styling of the Splendor series but adds new body graphics, chrome detailing, and bold color options for a modern touch. The bike also features alloy wheels, a sleek halogen headlamp, and an analog-digital instrument cluster that includes a real-time mileage indicator.
Efficient and Punchy 125cc Engine
Powering the Splendor 125 is a 124.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivers around 10.8 PS of power and 10.6 Nm of torque. It is equipped with Hero’s XSens technology and i3S start-stop system, which improve throttle response and fuel efficiency.
The 5-speed gearbox offers smooth gear shifts, making it ideal for daily city commuting as well as short highway rides. The Splendor 125 strikes a perfect balance between performance and fuel economy — offering a claimed mileage of around 60-65 km/l.
Comfortable Ride Quality
The bike comes with a well-cushioned seat and a comfortable upright riding position, making it suitable for long hours of commuting. It uses telescopic front forks and 5-step adjustable twin rear shocks for better suspension over bad roads. The seat height and kerb weight make it manageable for riders of all age groups.
Braking and Safety
For braking duties, the Hero Splendor 125 gets optional disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear, combined with a combined braking system (CBS) for improved safety. Tubeless tyres add to the convenience and reduce chances of sudden punctures.
Pricing and Variants
The Hero Splendor 125 is expected to be priced between ₹80,000 and ₹90,000 (ex-showroom). It is offered in both drum and disc variants, making it a value-for-money proposition in the 125cc segment.
Final Verdict
The Hero Splendor 125 is a smart upgrade for those looking for more power without compromising on mileage. With trusted performance, enhanced style, and affordable pricing, it continues to be a top choice for Indian commuters in 2025.
