New Hero Splendor 125 Bike Set to Launch by This Month in 2025 – Comes with 125cc Engine and Delivers 90 Kmpl Mileage –
Hero MotoCorp, India’s favorite two-wheeler maker, is gearing up to launch the Hero Splendor 125 by July 2025. Known for ruling the 100cc and 110cc markets, Hero is now stepping into the 125cc game with a bike that promises great mileage, solid performance, and a fresh look. Aimed at daily commuters, middle-class families, and rural riders, this bike is all about affordability and reliability.
Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming Splendor 125.
What’s New with the Hero Splendor 125?
The Splendor 125 brings a sportier vibe while keeping the classic charm that fans love. It’s got bold new graphics, vibrant color options, and a redesigned fuel tank for a stronger look. The seat is longer and wider for extra comfort, and the headlamp might even include LED DRLs in higher models. You’ll also notice a sleeker tail lamp and a sturdy rear grab rail for practicality. Alloy wheels could be an option in premium variants, adding a touch of style.
Engine and Power
At the heart of the Splendor 125 is a 124.7cc air-cooled, 4-stroke engine. It churns out around 11 PS of power and 10.5 Nm of torque, perfect for zipping through city streets or cruising on highways. The bike comes with a 5-speed gearbox for smoother rides, unlike the 4-speed in older Splendors. Hero’s i3S (Idle Stop-Start System) tech helps save fuel in traffic, and the BS6.2-compliant engine keeps emissions low. It’s built for low maintenance, making it a great pick for budget-conscious riders.
Mileage
The Splendor 125 shines with its claimed 90 kmpl mileage, making it one of the most fuel-efficient 125cc bikes in India. In real-world conditions, expect 70-85 kmpl depending on how you ride. With a 10-litre fuel tank, you could cover 700-800 km on a single fill-up—ideal for long rides or keeping fuel costs low.
Ride Comfort and Handling
Hero knows how to make bikes that handle well, and the Splendor 125 is no exception. It features telescopic front suspension and hydraulic rear shocks for a smooth ride, even on bumpy roads. The lightweight body makes it easy to maneuver in traffic, while decent ground clearance tackles rough village paths. Standard drum brakes keep things simple, but the top variant might offer a front disc brake for better stopping power.
Features for Everyday Riders
The Splendor 125 keeps things practical with a semi-digital console showing speed, distance, and fuel levels. You’ll also get a USB charging port, a side-stand engine cut-off for safety, and an integrated braking system (IBS). Both electric and kick-start options add convenience.
Price and Variants
The Splendor 125 is expected to start at ₹75,000 for the drum brake version and go up to ₹80,000 for the disc brake model (ex-showroom). With easy EMI plans, it’s set to be a wallet-friendly choice. It’ll compete with bikes like the Honda Shine 125, TVS Radeon 125, and Bajaj CT 125X.
Why Choose the Splendor 125?
If you need a reliable, fuel-sipping bike for daily commutes, college rides, or rural trips, the Splendor 125 looks like a winner. With Hero’s trusted build quality, high mileage, and a price that won’t break the bank, it’s ready to carry on the Splendor legacy. Keep an eye out for its launch by July 2025!
