Hero MotoCorp, a company known for making reliable and fuel-saving bikes in India, has launched the new 2025 Hero Splendor 125. This bike takes the famous Splendor name and adds a new, nice design along with the trusted performance and great mileage that people expect. Made for young people and those who want a bike that doesn’t cost too much, the Splendor 125 looks like a very good choice in the 125cc bike category.
Looking Good with a Modern Style
Instead of the simple look of many everyday bikes, the 2025 Splendor 125 has a more modern design. Hero has kept the familiar Splendor shape but made the lines sharper, given it a stronger look, and added bright new designs. The shaped fuel tank flows smoothly into the stylish side parts, ending in a neat back that looks a bit sporty. Shiny parts on the headlight and fuel tank make it look a bit more fancy.
New LED lights not only make it easier to see when riding at night but also make the bike look better overall. It’s still easy to use, with a comfortable sitting position, simple controls, and good grab handles, so you won’t get too tired when riding every day.
How it Runs and Saves Fuel: The Most Important Things
The 2025 Splendor 125 uses a smooth 124.7cc air-cooled engine with one cylinder. We don’t know the exact power numbers yet, but it’s expected to be around 10.7 bhp of power and 10.6 Nm of torque, like the Super Splendor Xtec. This engine has a smooth 5-speed gearbox with gears that work well for good acceleration and saving fuel.
The best part is the claimed mileage of 90 kmpl. This really good fuel efficiency, probably because of Hero’s special XSens technology and i3S (engine stops when idle) system, makes the Splendor 125 one of the best in its class for saving fuel, which will save riders a lot of money on gas.
How it Rides: Made for Comfort and Easy Handling
The 2025 Hero Splendor 125 uses a strong, simple frame, which is common for Splendor bikes. It has front forks that move up and down and adjustable rear shocks, designed to handle bumps on city roads and stay steady at higher speeds. The wide and soft seat makes riding comfortable for both the rider and the person sitting behind, even on longer rides. It’s also light, around 123 kg, and has a good wheelbase, making it easy to move around in busy city traffic. A ground clearance of 165mm means it can handle different types of roads easily.
Modern Features for Today’s Rider
Even though it’s meant to be affordable, Hero has given the 2025 Splendor 125 some useful features:
- Partly Digital Display: Shows important information like speed, fuel level, mileage, and trip details in an easy-to-read way.
- LED Headlight: Makes it easier to see and looks modern.
- Tyres Without Tubes: Safer and less likely to go flat suddenly.
- Option for Front Disc Brake: Gives better stopping power for more safety.
Price and When You Can Buy It
The 2025 Hero Splendor 125 has been launched at a good starting price of ₹82,000 to ₹89,000 (showroom price), making it affordable for many buyers. The total price on the road in cities like Delhi is expected to be around ₹95,000 to ₹1,05,000. With easy monthly payment options starting at about ₹2,800 with a small down payment of ₹10,000, Hero wants to make this fuel-saving and stylish bike even more appealing.
You can buy this bike at Hero MotoCorp’s many dealerships across India (over 2000 of them). You can also book it online through Hero’s website and platforms like Flipkart. Big cities might get deliveries faster, but smaller towns could have a waiting time of 15-30 days.
Who Else is in the Market?
The Hero Splendor 125 is entering a market with other good 125cc bikes like the Honda SP125 and the TVS Raider 125. While the Splendor 125 claims to have much better mileage, it might not have as many high-tech features as some of its competitors, especially things like Bluetooth connection. However, its strong reputation, great fuel efficiency, and good price are expected to make it a popular choice.
In Conclusion: A Good Mix of Style, Savings, and Quality
The 2025 Hero Splendor 125 seems like a good all-around bike that meets the needs of people who travel every day. Its new design adds some style to the practical Splendor name. The promise of very high mileage (90 kmpl) is a big plus for people who want to save money on fuel, and the comfortable ride and useful features make it good for daily use. It might not have the most advanced technology, but the 2025 Hero Splendor 125 is a good combination of style, fuel saving, and affordability, making it a strong choice for anyone looking for a reliable and cheap-to-run 125cc bike.
