Hero Splendor 125 Launching Soon: 80+ kmpl Mileage, Digital Meter & i3S Tech

India’s favorite commuter motorcycle — the Hero Splendor — is all set to arrive in a new 125cc avatar in 2025. After years of dominating the 100–110cc segment, Hero MotoCorp is now ready to take the iconic Splendor a step further with more power, better features, and even higher mileage. The Hero Splendor 125 will combine everyday reliability with an upgraded riding experience, making it an ideal choice for daily commuters seeking comfort, style, and savings.

Refreshed Design with Modern Appeal

The new Splendor 125 will retain its signature commuter styling but with updated graphics, a sleeker headlamp, and slightly more muscular fuel tank extensions. Expect chrome touches on the exhaust, clear lens indicators, and alloy wheels as standard. The ergonomics will remain upright and rider-friendly — perfect for both city and rural roads.

125cc BS6 Engine with i3S Start-Stop Technology

Powering the Splendor 125 will be a refined 124.7cc single-cylinder, air-cooled BS6 engine expected to deliver 10.5 PS of power and 10.4 Nm of torque. Paired with a 5-speed gearbox and Hero’s patented i3S (Idle Stop-Start System) technology, the bike will offer a segment-leading mileage of around 80–85 kmpl. The engine will be tuned for smooth low-end torque and improved throttle response in city conditions.

Feature-Packed Yet Budget-Friendly

The Splendor 125 is likely to offer several useful features, including a fully digital instrument cluster with real-time mileage indicator, trip meter, service alert, and Bluetooth call/SMS alerts (in higher variants). Additional features may include a USB charging port, side-stand engine cut-off, engine kill switch, and hazard light switch — most of which were previously seen only on premium models.

Comfortable Ride for Daily Use

Hero’s focus on rider comfort continues with a long, cushioned seat, telescopic front forks, and 5-step adjustable rear shock absorbers. The bike will be easy to maneuver through traffic and well-suited for long commutes. With low kerb weight, light clutch, and wide mirrors, the Splendor 125 will offer a hassle-free riding experience even for new riders.

Safety and Braking

The Hero Splendor 125 is expected to come with Integrated Braking System (IBS) as standard, offering drum brakes on both ends and an optional front disc brake for added safety. Wider tubeless tyres and better grip will ensure confident braking and road handling, even in rainy or rough conditions.

Expected Price and Launch Date

Hero MotoCorp is expected to launch the Splendor 125 in early 2025. The price is likely to start from ₹84,000 and go up to ₹92,000 (ex-showroom) depending on variants and features. It will compete directly with the Honda Shine 125, TVS Radeon 125, and Bajaj Platina 125 in the mileage-focused commuter segment.

Conclusion:
The Hero Splendor 125 2025 is all set to redefine value and performance in the commuter motorcycle space. With higher mileage, modern features like i3S and digital console, and the trust of the Splendor brand — it’s the perfect upgrade for budget-conscious daily riders.
