The Hero Splendor has been the top-selling everyday motorcycle in India for a long time. People know it for being very reliable, saving a lot of fuel, and having a practical design for daily rides. Now, in 2025, Hero MotoCorp has shown us a fresh version of this well-loved bike – the Hero Splendor 2025. It promises a mix of modern looks, updated features, and the same great fuel mileage that everyone expects, aiming to stay the best choice for many riders in India.
While keeping the main things that made it great, the Hero Splendor 2025 has a new and better design. The bike has new designs on the body that make it look more modern and lively. A headlight that’s a bit sharper and sleeker turn signals give the front a more stylish look without losing its familiar feel. The fuel tank has new stickers, and the sides look cleaner and more polished. The tail light is now sharper, making the back look neater. Buyers will also like the new color choices, including nice two-tone options, giving more ways to make it their own.
The 2025 Splendor still uses its dependable 97.2cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. This strong and reliable engine is made to produce about 8 PS of power, which is perfect for riding in cities. The power comes on smoothly and evenly, making it easy to control in traffic. It has a 4-speed manual gearbox, and changing gears feels smooth and easy. Hero has worked on making the engine smoother, so it runs quieter and feels more stable, even when you go a bit faster.
Saving fuel has always been a big reason why people love the Hero Splendor, and the 2025 version continues this. Hero says it can get an amazing mileage of up to 80-85 km/l, depending on how you ride. This makes the new Splendor one of the best bikes for saving fuel in the country, which is very important for people who ride every day because gas prices are high. It also has Hero’s i3S (idle stop-start system), which helps save even more fuel by automatically turning off the engine when you stop (like at traffic lights) and quickly starting it again when you press the clutch.
While the Splendor 2025 is still focused on being a good everyday bike, it has some smart and useful new things:
- Updated Half-Digital Display: The new model has a display that’s part old-style (for speed) and part digital (for things like fuel level and mileage). It also has a warning light if the side stand is down.
- Side-Stand Engine Shut-Off: For better safety, the engine now turns off automatically if the side stand is down, so you can’t accidentally start it.
- i3S Technology: Hero’s system that stops and starts the engine at stops helps save fuel in city riding.
- Combined Braking System (CBS): This helps you brake more safely and steadily.
- Tubeless Tires: These tires give better grip and are less likely to get flat suddenly, making your ride safer.
Being comfortable is still important for the Hero Splendor 2025. The seat is longer and has more padding, giving plenty of space and cushion for both the rider and the person sitting behind. The suspension (the parts that absorb bumps) with forks in the front and shocks in the back is designed to handle bumps well, making the ride comfortable even on rough roads. The way you sit on the bike – upright, with the handlebars in a comfortable position and the footrests in a natural place – also helps you not get tired on your commute.
We don’t know the official price of the Hero Splendor 2025 yet, but experts think it will cost a little more than the current model, which is around ₹77,176 to ₹80,176 (without taxes, in Delhi), depending on the version. With the new looks, updated features, and the same great fuel mileage, the Hero Splendor 2025 is likely to be a very attractive option for people looking for a good, fuel-saving, and now, more stylish bike for everyday use. It keeps the trusted qualities of the Splendor while adding modern improvements, making it an even better choice for millions of riders.
