New Hero Splendor 125 Launching This Month in 2025 – Powerful 125cc Engine with 90 Kmpl Mileage, Full Details Here

Hero MotoCorp is all set to launch its latest commuter bike – the New Hero Splendor 125 – in May 2025. The Splendor has long been a trusted name among Indian bike riders, thanks to its reliability, fuel efficiency, and low maintenance. Now, Hero is taking it a step further with a more powerful 125cc engine, modern features, and a promised mileage of 90 kmpl. That’s big news for everyday riders looking for something practical, efficient, and slightly more powerful.

Design & Style

Hero hasn’t made any dramatic changes in the look of the new Splendor, but it definitely feels more refreshed and premium. The bike continues its classic commuter style but adds a bit more sportiness. It now gets sleeker body graphics, an LED headlamp, and a slightly wider fuel tank with sharper lines.

The side panels have been redesigned, and the bike also comes with black alloy wheels that give it a sportier feel. Overall, Hero has tried to keep the look familiar yet modern.

Color Options

Expect color choices like:

• Glossy Black

• Sporty Red

• Blue-Grey Dual Tone

• Matte Silver

These paint jobs are simple but stylish enough for a daily-use bike.

Engine & Performance

The biggest upgrade in this 2025 version is the new 125cc engine. Hero has fitted the Splendor with a refined air-cooled, single-cylinder 124.7cc engine that delivers around 10.5 bhp of power and 10.8 Nm of torque.

This makes the bike a perfect mix of city performance and highway comfort. While it doesn’t claim to be sporty, it offers much better pick-up and load-carrying ability compared to the older 100cc version.

It also comes with Hero’s i3S (Idle Start-Stop System), which helps improve mileage by automatically turning off the engine at red lights.

Ride & Handling

When it comes to ride comfort, Hero hasn’t made major changes – and that’s a good thing. The telescopic front forks and dual rear shock absorbers offer a smooth ride on most roads. Whether you’re riding solo or with a pillion, the Splendor 125 handles bumps well.

It is lightweight and easy to handle in traffic, which is great for beginners and city riders. The bike’s upright riding posture and well-cushioned seat add to its daily usability.

Features & Tech

New Hero Splendor 125 Hero has added some simple but useful features that make the Splendor 125 feel more modern:

• Fully Digital Instrument Cluster with real-time mileage

• Bluetooth Connectivity (in top variant)

• Side-stand Engine Cut-Off

• LED DRLs

• USB Mobile Charger

• Engine Start/Stop Switch

These features may not be premium-level, but they are practical for daily commuting needs.

Mileage & Fuel Efficiency

One of the main attractions of the new New Hero Splendor 125 is its claimed mileage of 90 kmpl. This is a big deal, especially for those who travel long distances daily. Thanks to the i3S technology and lightweight design, the fuel efficiency is likely to be among the best in the 125cc segment.

Even in real-world riding, you can expect anywhere between 75 to 85 kmpl, depending on traffic and road conditions. This makes it one of the most fuel-efficient bikes in its class.

Price & Variants

Hero will likely launch the Splendor 125 in three variants:

1. Standard Variant – Basic version with analog meter and drum brakes.

2. Tech Variant – With digital meter, USB charger, and i3S.

3. Disc Bluetooth Variant – Fully loaded with disc brake, Bluetooth, and side-stand cutoff.

Expected Price Range:

• Standard – ₹85,000 (ex-showroom)

• Tech – ₹90,000 (ex-showroom)

• Disc Bluetooth – ₹95,000 (ex-showroom)

The pricing makes it slightly costlier than the 100cc version, but the extra features and power justify the price.
