The Hero Splendor 125 has received a modern refresh while retaining its classic commuter DNA that has made it India’s most loved bike for decades. The new model sports sharper body panels, a redesigned fuel tank with muscular extensions, and bold body graphics that reflect a youthful personality.
Refreshed Design with Bold Graphics and Premium Touches
The sleek halogen headlamp with clear-lens indicators, chrome-finished rear-view mirrors, and body-colored rear grab rail add to its premium appearance. With alloy wheels, integrated mudguards, and an overall clean look, the Splendor 125 remains both stylish and practical. It is available in multiple dual-tone color options like Nexus Blue, Black with Red, and Grey with Green, appealing to both young professionals and mature daily commuters who want a fuss-free yet attractive motorcycle.
Powerful 124.7cc Engine with i3S Start-Stop Technology for Mileage Boost
The Hero Splendor 125 is powered by a 124.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivers 10.7 PS of power and 10.6 Nm of torque, tuned for optimal city commuting. What sets it apart is Hero’s proprietary i3S (Idle Stop-Start System) that automatically turns off the engine during traffic halts and restarts it with a light clutch tap, significantly improving real-world fuel efficiency. This system, along with Hero’s XSens fuel injection tech, helps the Splendor 125 deliver a mileage of around 60–65 km/l, making it one of the most fuel-efficient 125cc bikes in India. The 5-speed gearbox is smooth and offers good low-end torque for city rides while remaining vibration-free even at 70–80 km/h. The bike’s lightweight nature and balanced chassis offer an agile ride feel, making daily commutes effortless.
Comfort-Focused Ergonomics with Digital Analog Console and Features
The Splendor 125 continues its tradition of rider-first ergonomics with a comfortable upright seating posture, well-cushioned single-piece seat, and easy-to-reach controls. It gets a semi-digital instrument cluster that combines an analog speedometer with a digital display for trip meter, fuel level, service reminder, and real-time mileage readout. Features like a side-stand engine cut-off, maintenance-free battery, and halogen indicators add to its practicality. The suspension setup includes telescopic front forks and dual rear shock absorbers, tuned for comfort over Indian roads. The 130 mm drum brakes (optional front disc) with CBS (Combined Braking System) ensure safe stopping, while the 18-inch wheels provide good stability even on uneven surfaces. The Splendor’s design and features are purpose-built for Indian conditions, offering lasting durability and minimal upkeep.
Affordable Pricing with Multiple Variants for Every Commuter’s Needs
The Hero Splendor 125 is available in multiple trims like Drum Alloy, Disc Alloy, and i3S variants, priced between ₹85,000 to ₹89,000 (ex-showroom), depending on the city and features. It competes directly with bikes like the Honda Shine 125, Bajaj Pulsar 125, and TVS Raider, but the Splendor stands out for its reliability, wide service network, and exceptional fuel economy. Whether you’re a college-goer, office commuter, or someone looking for a reliable second vehicle for daily errands, the Splendor 125 offers everything from mileage and comfort to resale value and low maintenance in one affordable package.
