The one of the most reputable two-wheeler manufacturers in India, Hero MotoCorp, is prepared to introduce its eagerly awaited Splendor 125cc bike this month in 2025. For many years, Indian commuters have favored the Hero Splendor series due to its exceptional mileage, low maintenance requirements, and durability. The company now hopes to make the 125cc version one of the best options in the commuter market by bringing stronger engines and even better fuel efficiency to the market.
A Stronger and Smarter Upgrade
The new Hero Splendor 125 is not just an engine overhaul but an entirely new think for today’s rider needs. The base of this bike is a strong 125cc engine, which is expected to deliver a smooth and silky-smooth performance on regular commutes and the occasional longer journey.
This engine will allegedly deliver approximately 10.5 bhp of power and 10.6 Nm of torque, making the bike peppy while still retaining its fundamental strength: fuel efficiency. Even with the increase in power, the bike will return an outstanding mileage of 90 kmpl, which makes it one of the most fuel-efficient bikes in the 125cc segment.
Design and Styling: Classic Yet Modern
Hero has retained the traditional Splendor profile but with contemporary details to infuse the 125cc model with a new and appealing look. The motorcycle is likely to be equipped with new graphics, an updated headlamp assembly (potentially LED), and a more upmarket-looking instrument cluster that can incorporate digital-analog readouts.
With its sleek fuel tank, comfortable riding position, and robust frame, the Splendor 125 balances functionality with aesthetics. Several shades will be on offer to suit different tastes, ranging from trendy colors to more business-like, subtle shades.
Features to Look Forward To

Hero has been slowly improving technology across its model range, and the new Splendor 125 is no exception. Without losing sight of maintaining competitive pricing, the bike will likely come with:
i3S (Idle Start-Stop System) to improve mileage
Combined Braking System (CBS) for better braking
Tubeless tyres
USB mobile charging point (on higher variants)
Semi-digital instrument panel
Side-stand engine kill
These characteristics are designed to make the Splendor 125 not only fuel-efficient but also loaded with features, particularly for daily riders who prioritize convenience and safety.
Anticipated Price and Variants
The Hero Splendor 125 is expected to come in two to three variants, such as drum and disc brake. The anticipated price would be between ₹85,000 to ₹95,000 (ex-showroom), varying according to the variant and specifications. Since Hero has an enormous service network and well-established brand equity, this bike is going to be a highly sought-after model from the start.
Launch Timeline and Availability
According to recent news updates, the bike will go on sale in the last month of this year (April 2025). It will be retailed through Hero MotoCorp showrooms across the country shortly after its launch. Pre-bookings can also be initiated online and offline in select cities.
Why the Hero Splendor 125cc Matters

For most Indian riders, a bike is not only a vehicle—it’s a day companion. Splendor 125 fills this bill with reliability, good mileage, less running expense, and sufficient power for everyday office runs. It continues the Hero Splendor legacy while serving the newer crop of riders seeking performance without sacrificing fuel efficiency.
With its 2025 refresh, Hero MotoCorp isn’t simply rolling out a new model—it’s redefining the commuter bike segment all over again. The Splendor 125 is the kind of motorcycle that can easily set a new standard for what Indian motorcycle buyers demand from their daily ride on the road.
