Design and Exterior: Extremely Fresh and Sporty Look
This bike brings to the market a new sporty twist to its classic Splendor look! A new Canvas Black edition, bold graphics, and sharp fuel tank lines give it a modern vibe. Colours like Sports Red, Vibrant Blue, and Pearl Silver White attract young riders.
The bike’s length is 2,000 mm, width 720 mm, height 1,052 mm, and 165 mm ground clearance is perfect for city rides. 18-inch alloy wheels and tubeless tires add to its swag!
New Hero Splendor 125 Specifications and Performance: Perfect Mix of Power and Efficiency
The New Hero Splendor 125 is powered by a 124.7cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 10.7 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 10.6 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Mated to a 5-speed gearbox, the bike achieves a top speed of 100 km/h and 0-60 km/h in 8 seconds.
Diamond frame, telescopic front forks, and adjustable rear shocks offer smooth handling, but the suspension can feel a little soft on rough roads. The 123 kg weight makes it super agile in city traffic!
New Hero Splendor 125 Mileage and Range: Fuel-Saving Magic of 90 kmpl
The biggest highlight of this bike is the 90 kmpl mileage, thanks to Hero’s XSens technology and i3S (Idle Start-Stop System). It gives a mileage of 80–85 kmpl in the city and up to 90 kmpl on highways. With a 9.8-litre fuel tank, this bike can give a range of up to 880 km—a non-stop journey from Delhi to Agra.
Features and Technology: Modern Touch with Practicality
The new Hero Splendor 125 has a semi-digital instrument cluster that shows speed, fuel, trip data, and real-time mileage, which is visible even in the sun or at night. The i3S system helps save fuel by switching off the engine in traffic and starts as soon as the clutch is pressed.
Halogen headlamp and bulb indicators are enough for visibility, but the lack of an LED headlamp or Bluetooth may disappoint buyers. Side-stand cut-off is a big bonus for safety!
Safety Features: Safety in Every Ride
This bike makes no compromises in terms of safety. A front disc brake with ABS and rear drum with CBS is a rare combo in this segment. It offers confident braking even on wet roads or at speeds of 95 km/h.
The tubeless tyres reduce puncture tension to a great extent, and the 165 mm ground clearance helps handle speed bumps with ease. If the front disc was optional in the Base variants, it would have been even more fun!
Interior and Comfort: Best Buddy for City Rides
With a seat height of 810 mm, this bike will be comfortable for riders between 5’3” and 5’10”. The upright handlebar offers strain-free riding in the city, but the seat can feel a bit stiff on longer rides.
The pillion seat is small, which could be a bit problematic for long journeys. The 1,273 mm wheelbase provides stability, but the lack of underseat storage is a small drawback.
New Hero Splendor 125 Rivals in India: Who has the Guts to Compete?

The rivals are slightly ahead in power, but the Splendor’s 90 kmpl mileage, ABS, and cheap price make it the king.
