Hero Splendor New Model Launch – 120km/h Top Speed & 85km Mileage at ₹67,000

Hero MotoCorp fans are abuzz with rumors about a new Hero Splendor model that promises a top speed of 120km/h and an incredible mileage of 85km/L, all priced at ₹67,000. While these numbers have gone viral on social media, let’s break down the reality behind the claims and what to actually expect from the Hero Splendor.

Design & Looks

The Hero Splendor has always been known for its simple yet functional design. The new model is expected to stick to its classic commuter styling but may get fresh color options and modern graphics to appeal to younger riders. Its compact frame makes it perfect for city commuting and handling everyday traffic comfortably.

Engine & Mileage

Currently, the Hero Splendor runs on a 97.2cc, air-cooled, 4-stroke engine. The engine produces around 8.02 PS of power and 8.05 Nm of torque. The realistic top speed is approximately 85-90km/h, which makes the viral claim of 120km/h highly unlikely.

In terms of fuel efficiency, the ARAI-certified mileage is 80.6km/L, while real-world riders report 60-70km/L depending on traffic and road conditions. While Hero MotoCorp continues to refine its engines, a consistent 85km/L mileage at extremely high speeds remains technically improbable.

Interior Features

The Hero Splendor focuses on practicality over luxury. Riders can expect a comfortable seat, easy-to-read instrument cluster, and ergonomic handlebar positioning. Minor updates like digital readouts or improved storage options may feature in the new model, keeping the bike functional and user-friendly.

Safety

Safety remains a strong point for the Hero Splendor. The bike comes with i3S idle start-stop technology, tubeless tires, and an integrated braking system (IBS) for better control on city roads. Hero may also introduce small tweaks to enhance braking and stability further.

Price

The viral claim of ₹67,000 is lower than the current Hero Splendor Plus base price of ₹75,000-78,000. It is more realistic to expect the new model to start around the current base price or slightly higher, considering any updates or minor feature improvements.

Conclusion

While rumors of a 120km/h top speed and 85km/L mileage have caught attention online, the real Hero Splendor continues to be the reliable, fuel-efficient commuter bike that Indian riders trust. The upcoming model will likely focus on practical upgrades, better features, and trusted performance rather than breaking technical limits.

For now, Hero Splendor fans can look forward to a dependable, city-friendly bike with classic charm, backed by Hero MotoCorp’s reliability.
