The Hero Splendor 125 is gearing up for a grand entrance, possibly around Ganesh Chaturthi 2025. Imagine starting your day and riding a bike that is not only dependable, but also extremely efficient. This bike, with its lively 125cc engine and amazing 90 kmpl fuel efficiency, is a real game-changer for both urban and rural riders. Hero, a pioneer in commuter bikes, remains committed to providing simple, easy-to-ride bikes while adding some contemporary features.
Design
The design of the New Hero Splendor 125 gives off a sense of nostalgia, similar to seeing an old friend—familiar but modernized. Hero has maintained the traditional upright riding position, providing a comfortable ride. However, the fuel tank has been redesigned to look more muscular, adding a bit of boldness without going too far. The sharper headlamp design improves visibility, and the new body graphics include subtle stripes in vibrant colors such as red or blue.
Features
Hero did not hold back on features, but they were kept functional and affordable. The i3S idle stop-start system is the main attraction, turning off the engine at stoplights to save fuel and then restarting with a button. Higher-end models have a semi-digital console that displays real-time mileage, trip distance, and service reminders.
Price
The most important question is price. Hero understands that not everyone has a lot of money, so the Splendor 125 is priced to fit within your budget. The base drum-brake model is expected to start at roughly ₹82,000 ex-showroom. The XTEC model, with all the extras (digital dash, i3S, USB), costs between ₹89,000 and ₹95,000. After including insurance and RTO fees, the on-road price in major cities like Delhi ranges from ₹95,000 to ₹1.05 lakh.
Mileage
Mileage – the Splendor’s distinguishing feature, and this 125cc variant increases it to 90 kmpl in real-world use. That sophisticated 124.7cc air-cooled engine produces 10.7 bhp and 10.6 Nm of torque, and is tuned for economy using fuel injection and i3S technology. When combined with a light frame, it reaches a top speed of 90-95 km/h
