Hero Splendor 125 to Launch in 2026: 125cc Engine, 90 kmpl Mileage & Key Details
As we enter the last days of December 2025, excitement is building among Indian bike enthusiasts! Hero MotoCorp is all set to introduce the much-talked-about New Hero Splendor 125 – a bold evolution of the legendary Splendor series that has sold millions and powered daily commutes across the country for decades.
The classic 100cc Splendor has been a symbol of reliability, unbeatable mileage, and pocket-friendly ownership. Now, the Splendor 125 brings more power, modern touches, and enhanced features while keeping the soul of the original intact – perfect for today’s riders who want a bit more punch without sacrificing economy.
Why the New Hero Splendor 125 is Creating Buzz
Hero is upgrading its evergreen commuter to meet changing needs: better highway performance, improved load-carrying for families, and subtle modern upgrades – all without inflating the price too much.
Key highlights of the 2025 Hero Splendor 125 include:
- Engine → 124.7cc (approx. 125cc) single-cylinder, air-cooled, BS6-compliant motor
- Power & Torque → Around 10.5–10.7 bhp and 10.6–11 Nm (noticeably stronger than 100cc models)
- Mileage → Claimed 78–90 kmpl (real-world likely 65–80 kmpl depending on conditions) – still class-leading!
- Transmission → 5-speed gearbox for smoother riding
- Features → Digital-analog instrument cluster, LED headlamp (in higher variants), USB charging port, i3S (Idle Stop-Start) for extra efficiency, refreshed graphics, and long cushioned seat
- Safety → Dual-channel ABS (in select variants), tubeless tyres, and reliable drum/disc brakes
- Ride & Handling → Telescopic front forks, adjustable rear shocks – built tough for Indian roads
- Price Range → Expected ex-showroom ₹78,000 – ₹98,000 (depending on variant – drum brake base to loaded XTEC models)
→ Low EMIs starting as low as ₹3,999/month make it super accessible!
This upgrade positions the Splendor 125 as a strong rival to bikes like Honda SP 125, TVS Raider 125, and Bajaj Platina variants – but with Hero’s legendary service network, low maintenance, and unbeatable resale value.
