Engine & Performance
At the heart of the new Splendor 125 ABS is a 124.7cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that delivers an impressive balance between performance and fuel economy. This motor produces around 10.7 bhp of power and 10.6 Nm of torque, making it versatile for both city rides and occasional highway cruising.
Paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, the bike ensures smooth gear transitions and quick throttle response, allowing riders to navigate traffic or enjoy longer journeys with ease.
One of the standout features is Hero’s i3S (Idle Start-Stop System), which shuts off the engine during idle stops — for example, at traffic signals — to save fuel. Combined with the bike’s fuel-injection system, this technology helps it achieve an incredible claimed mileage of up to 90 kmpl under ideal conditions. Even in practical usage, riders can expect 65–75 kmpl, making it one of the most fuel-efficient bikes in its class.
Design & Features
The Hero Splendor 125 ABS is not just about performance — it’s also about making a style statement. The bike sports:
- Modern, sporty graphics for a youthful appeal
- Muscular fuel tank with aerodynamic curves
- LED headlamp and LED DRLs for enhanced visibility and a premium look
- Sleek LED taillamp that adds to its contemporary styling
Apart from the stylish exterior, the ABS-equipped braking system improves rider safety, especially during sudden stops or wet road conditions.
Expected Price & Variants
Hero MotoCorp is expected to keep the Splendor 125 ABS budget-friendly, with an estimated price range of ₹82,000 to ₹95,000 (ex-showroom).
The lineup may include:
- Base variant – Drum brakes, standard features, attractive graphics
- Premium variant – Front disc brake, ABS, digital instrument cluster, and upgraded styling
Hero is also likely to offer easy EMI plans and exchange offers, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of buyers — from students to working professionals and family riders.
Final Thoughts
The Hero Splendor 125 ABS promises to be a perfect blend of power, safety, style, and unmatched fuel efficiency. For daily commuters looking for a bike that delivers high mileage without compromising on looks or performance, this could be the next big thing in India’s commuter bike market.
