The Hero Splendor, long regarded as the mileage king in the budget segment, now arrives in a new avatar with 125cc power and advanced ABS safety. The company claims that the new Splendor 125 ABS can deliver up to 90 kilometers per liter of petrol. For the first time, it features dual-channel ABS, X-Sense fuel injection, and a Bluetooth-connected cluster. Let’s explore all the key details from engine to finance plans.
Powerful 125cc Engine and Performance
The Splendor 125 ABS is equipped with a 124.7cc air-cooled, fuel-injected engine. This motor generates 11 bhp of power and 10.6 Nm of torque. With a five-speed gearbox, the bike completes the 0-60 kmph sprint in just 7.2 seconds. The i3S start-stop technology saves fuel at traffic lights, and the e-SFF fork reduces friction for a smoother ride.
90 kmpl Mileage and Eco-Drive Mapping
Hero has connected the X-Sense ECU to over 200 sensor points, adjusting the air-fuel mix in real time. In Eco mode, the bike delivers a certified mileage of up to 90 kmpl. With an 11-liter fuel tank, you can easily cover up to 990 kilometers on a full tank.
Dual-Channel ABS and Smart Safety
For the first time in the segment, the Splendor 125 features dual-channel ABS. The 276 mm front petal disc and 220 mm rear disc provide confidence during emergency braking. High-grip 18-inch tubeless tires, side-stand engine cut-off, and rear-tire slip alert further enhance rider safety.
Digital-Analog Cluster and Connectivity
The bike features a semi-digital cluster. With the Bluetooth SmartLink app, you get call-SMS alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, and ride history. Real-time mileage, gear position, and service reminders are also displayed on the screen.
Suspension, Comfort, and Build Quality
Golden telescopic forks and 5-step adjustable dual shocks absorb bumps on rough roads. The new double-cradle frame is made of high-tensile steel, improving stability in corners. The 795 mm seat height and wide cushioned seat provide comfort even on long rides.
Attractive Design and Color Options
Hero has retained the classic Splendor look while adding a chrome-finished muffler guard, 3D tank badge, and LED DRL headlamp. The bike is available in five colors—Gloss Black, Sports Red, Nexus Blue, Heavy Grey, and a new Matt Green.
Price, Variants, and EMI Plan
The ex-showroom price of the Splendor 125 ABS starts at ₹92,500. If you opt for EMI, you can get it with just ₹9,999 down payment and a monthly installment of ₹2,850 for 36 months. The launch offer includes a 5-year/70,000 km warranty and free insurance for the first year.
