If there’s one bike that has ruled Indian roads for years, it’s the Hero Splendor. And now, it’s back in a new avatar — the New Hero Splendor 125. As someone who’s seen how Hero bikes have become a part of everyday Indian life, I can tell you this one brings something fresh to the table.
Whether you ride through city traffic or village paths, this bike feels like it’s made just for us.
Stylish Look with a Desi Touch
Let’s start with the design. The new Splendor 125 doesn’t look boring like most commuter bikes. It comes with:
- Sharp tank design
- Bold graphics
- LED DRLs and a brand-new headlight
- Sleek LED taillight at the back
Hero has clearly made it for riders who want a smart-looking bike that doesn’t feel “old-school.” If you ask me, it gives off a sporty vibe with that trusted Indian feel — exactly what many of us want.
Digital Features Made for Today’s Rider
Hero has added smart tech this time. You get a semi-digital instrument cluster that shows:
- Speed
- Fuel level
- Gear position
- Trip meter
- Real-time mileage
And that’s not all — Bluetooth features and turn-by-turn navigation are expected too. So, now even your daily rides can feel modern and connected.
Performance That Balances Power and Mileage
The heart of this bike is a 124.7cc air-cooled engine, producing around 9.2 bhp and 10.2 Nm of torque.
In simple words:
- It has enough power for daily riding
- It won’t drink fuel like crazy
- It’s perfect for both city roads and open highways
The best part? It offers up to 90 kmpl mileage. That’s huge, especially with today’s fuel prices. If you’re someone who rides daily or covers long distances, this is a serious money-saver.
Built to Ride Safe
We all care about safety — and the new Splendor 125 takes that seriously:
- Optional front disc brake
- Rear drum brake
- Combi Braking System (CBS)
- Tubeless tyres for fewer worries on the road
All this gives peace of mind whether you’re riding to college or through a village with rough patches.
Launch and Expected Price in India
The bike is expected to launch by December 2025, and Hero may price it around ₹80,000 to ₹85,000 (ex-showroom). That puts it right in the game with bikes like the Honda Shine, TVS Raider 125, and Bajaj Pulsar 125.
But with Splendor’s trusted name and improved design, this one may have the edge.
Who Should Buy the New Hero Splendor 125?
If you ask me, this bike fits perfectly for:
- Daily office riders who want low fuel bills
- College students looking for style without high cost
- Families who need a strong, low-maintenance bike
- Rural users who need a tough bike for bad roads
Final Words: A Complete Package for Indian Roads
The New Hero Splendor 125 isn’t just another commuter bike. It’s a smart mix of style, mileage, safety, and tech. It keeps that desi soul of the original Splendor, while adding modern features we expect in 2025.
If you want a bike that looks good, runs long, and saves fuel — this one’s for you.
Go check it out at your nearest Hero showroom. I’d say, take a test ride and feel the change for yourself!
