Hero MotoCorp, India’s biggest two-wheeler brand, has launched the much-awaited Hero Splendor 125 in 2025, bringing a fresh and stylish twist to its iconic Splendor series. Known for its reliability and fuel efficiency, the Splendor has been a favorite for millions of Indians. The new Splendor 125 blends a premium, royal look with a low price, making it a perfect choice for daily commuters, college students, and young professionals. With its sporty design, advanced features, and unbeatable mileage, this bike is set to rule Indian roads once again.
A Stylish New Avatar
The Hero Splendor 125 keeps the classic Splendor shape that everyone loves but adds modern touches. It has sleek lines, bold graphics, and a shiny chrome finish on the headlamp and fuel tank, giving it a royal and premium feel. The bike comes in exciting colors like Black, Red, Blue, and Grey, appealing to young riders who want style without spending too much. Its lightweight body (123 kg) and 165mm ground clearance make it easy to ride through city traffic or rough rural roads. The LED headlamp and digital-analog display add a modern vibe, making it stand out in the 125cc segment.
Powerful Yet Fuel-Efficient Engine
At the heart of the Splendor 125 is a new 124.7cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that delivers 10.7 bhp and 10.6 Nm of torque. Paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox, it offers a balance of power for city rides and occasional highway trips. The bike boasts an impressive mileage of up to 90 kmpl in ideal conditions, though real-world tests suggest 75-80 kmpl in city traffic. Hero’s i3S (Idle Start-Stop) technology saves fuel by turning off the engine during long stops and restarting it with a clutch pull, perfect for saving money in 2025’s high fuel prices.
