Hero MotoCorp is gearing up for an upcoming launch of the new Hero Splendor 125, by around December of 2025. Based on the classic Splendor refreshed with a new 125cc engine and a claimed fuel efficiency of 90 kmpl, this model strikes a good balance of performance and economy. Here is a concise, professional overview concerning the key features of the new Splendor 125.
Design & Look
The new Splendor 125 retains the reliable simplicity with some amount of novelty added for attracting younger buyers. It has modern graphics, chrome detailing, and updated headlamp (optional LED DRLs), with a newly designed fuel tank granting better grip.
Engine & Performance
A 125cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine powers the bike, producing an approximate output of 10.5 bhp and 11 Nm of torque. The 5-speed gearbox promises to smoothen the ride in the city and rural settings. Hero’s i3S (Idle Stop-Start) technology aids significantly to fuel efficiency.
Ride & Handling
Developed for the Indian terrain, the bike features telescopic front forks and hydraulic rear shocks to soak up potholes and deal with off-road conditions. It is light in weight and offers a balanced chassis, which is great for traffic and maneuvering narrow village roads.
Features & Technology
If Splendor continues to hold on to some simplicity, the 2025 model should be endowed with some modern features to improve the everyday lives of its clientele. Among these, a fully digital instrument console, real-time mileage count, side-stand engine cut-off, and USB charger on some variants.
Mileage & Efficiency
With 90 kmpl claimed by the company, this comes in as a fuel-efficient bike, and with a 10-liter tank, the range for the long-distance user could be around 850-900 km, making this economical as an everyday use bike.
Pricing & Variants
Expected ex-showroom prices should start from about ₹85,000 for a drum-brake base variant, continuing to a disc-brake mid-one, and an upscale one (with LEDs, digital cluster, etc.). The pricing indicates its aim to compete among the cost-conscious consumers.
Final Thoughts
The Hero Splendor 125 (2025) symbolises a combination of old and new traditions; with its powerful 125cc engine, great fuel economy, and pragmatic features it could very well suit students, professionals, and families. Either way, this bike looks like it will be a reliable and economical solution in dense city traffic or winding on a winding rural road.
