Hero MotoCorp has rolled out the Hero Splendor 125 ABS, a motorcycle that’s turning heads in India’s commuter bike market. This latest addition to the iconic Splendor family brings a punchy 125cc engine, an impressive mileage of up to 90 kmpl, and the added safety of ABS. It’s a bike built for the everyday rider—whether you’re a student zipping to college, a professional navigating city traffic, or someone who just loves a reliable ride.
A Trusted Name, Upgraded
The Splendor name has been synonymous with reliability for years, winning hearts with its durability and wallet-friendly fuel efficiency. The Hero Splendor 125 ABS takes this legacy forward, adding more power and modern features to appeal to today’s riders. It’s not just a bike; it’s a practical companion for daily commutes, blending performance with the trust Hero is known for.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the Splendor 125 ABS sports a 125cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that churns out around 10.7 bhp and 10.6 Nm of torque. Paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox, it’s designed for easy riding in stop-and-go traffic. The engine feels peppy yet refined, offering enough grunt for quick overtakes while keeping things smooth for city cruising.
Hero’s i3S (Idle Stop-Start System) is a game-changer, cutting off the engine during long traffic stops to save fuel. This, combined with advanced fuel injection, makes the bike a champ at sipping fuel without compromising on performance. Whether you’re dodging potholes or cruising on open roads, the throttle responds cleanly, making every ride a breeze.
Ride and Handling
The Splendor 125 ABS is built to handle India’s diverse roads. Its lightweight chassis, paired with a telescopic front fork and dual rear shock absorbers, soaks up bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. The bike’s upright riding position and moderate seat height make it comfortable for riders of all sizes, whether you’re on a short trip or a longer commute. Plus, the inclusion of ABS ensures better control during sudden stops, adding a layer of safety that’s rare in this segment.
Mileage That Impresses
Let’s talk about the star feature: mileage. The Splendor 125 ABS boasts a claimed fuel efficiency of up to 90 kmpl, making it one of the most frugal bikes in its class. Thanks to the i3S system and fine-tuned fuel injection, you can ride longer without worrying about frequent fuel stops—a big win for budget-conscious riders.
Price and Value
Priced between ₹85,000 and ₹95,000 (ex-showroom), the Splendor 125 ABS comes in multiple variants. The base model keeps things simple, while the top variant adds perks like a digital console, USB charging, and stylish graphics. Compared to rivals like the TVS Raider 125 or Honda Shine 125, the Splendor stands out with its unbeatable mileage, trusted brand name, and now, enhanced safety with ABS.
Why It Stands Out
The Hero Splendor 125 ABS isn’t just another commuter bike—it’s a smart choice for anyone who values efficiency, reliability, and safety. With its powerful engine, stellar mileage, and modern features, it’s ready to rule the roads and hearts of Indian riders.
