Hero MotoCorp has launched the much-awaited Splendor 125, the newest member of its iconic Splendor family. Famous for being super reliable and fuel-saving, this new 125cc model mixes the classic Splendor charm with modern looks and performance—all while staying affordable.
The Splendor has been a favorite in Indian homes for years, and the Splendor 125 is ready to carry that forward, offering a bit more power without losing mileage or everyday ease.
Modern Design Meets Simple Charm
The Splendor 125 keeps its commuter-friendly style but adds sharper lines, sporty graphics, and fresh looks to attract younger riders. Even with updates, it holds onto its simple, sturdy frame, making it easy to ride in city traffic.
Key design features:
- Stylish fuel tank with bold 3D Hero logo
- Halogen headlamp with a modern cover
- Clear-lens indicators and tail lamp
- Comfy dual-tone seat with better cushioning
These changes keep the bike charming while matching today’s trends.
Performance and Engine Efficiency
The Hero Splendor 125 has a 124.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that balances power and mileage for daily rides. It meets BS6 Phase 2 standards, meaning lower pollution and smoother performance.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine Type | 124.7cc, Air-cooled |
| Power Output | 10.7 bhp @ 7500 rpm |
| Torque | 10.6 Nm @ 6000 rpm |
| Transmission | 5-speed Manual |
| Mileage (Claimed) | Up to 60 km/l |
The new 5-speed gearbox makes rides smoother, especially for longer trips or short highway runs.
Features That Add Value
The Splendor 125 brings some handy upgrades to its features. Hero made sure the bike stays practical and modern.
Notable features:
- i3S (Idle Stop-Start System) for better fuel saving
- Side-stand engine cut-off for extra safety
- USB mobile charging port
- Semi-digital display with real-time mileage
- Alloy wheels with tubeless tires
These additions make the bike perfect for daily riders who want comfort, convenience, and savings.
Pricing and Availability
Hero MotoCorp priced the Splendor 125 to compete, starting at ₹85,000 (ex-showroom) for the drum brake model and up to ₹89,000 (ex-showroom) for the disc brake version. It comes in colors like Black with Silver, Red, and Blue combos.
With fuel prices climbing and traffic growing, the Splendor 125 is a great choice for budget buyers needing a reliable, stylish bike.
Final Verdict: Why It Stands Out
The Hero Splendor 125 is more than a commuter bike—it’s a sign of trust, simplicity, and now a bit of style and power. It keeps everything people loved about the original Splendor but appeals to more riders looking for efficiency with a modern touch.
Whether you’re a student, a professional, or need a budget-friendly second bike, the Splendor 125 is built to win your heart and your daily rides.
