The Hero Splendor 125cc has officially made its way to the Indian market, and it is creating a buzz with its attractive blend of mileage, modern features and an affordable price tag. With Hero MotoCorp focusing on the commuter segment, this new model is designed to appeal to riders looking for economy, style and everyday practicality.
Design & Looks
The Hero Splendor 125cc gets a refreshed design that looks more premium compared to the older Splendor models. A LED headlamp at the front gives the bike a sharper look while improving visibility at night. The overall styling remains simple yet modern, targeting daily riders who prefer practicality with a touch of smartness.
Engine & Mileage
Powering the bike is a 124.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with Hero’s XSens technology and programmed fuel injection. The engine produces 10.7 bhp and 10.6 Nm of torque, tuned for city rides as well as occasional highway runs.
The biggest highlight is its mileage. Hero claims the Hero Splendor 125cc delivers up to 90 km/l, making it one of the most fuel-efficient 125cc bikes available. This directly puts it in competition with the popular Honda Shine 125, but with better economy on paper.
