Hero Splendor 125 (Expected) – A Professional Introduction
Hero MotoCorp’s very popular line of motorcycles, known as the Splendor, is apparently coming up with a 125cc model. The bike should offer a fair mix of power, mileage, and price-the announcement has not been made by the company themselves, yet judging from available information, this motorcycle is expected to launch around December 2025.
Design and Look
The new Splendor 125 is expected to come with traditional design styling-simple yet modern. The new tank design may come with good graphics, chrome accents; an updated headlamp is expected, too (optional for LED DRLs). Tank grips could see better ergonomics, and the long plain seat would enhance comfort for the rider and pillion.
Engine and Performance
It is expected to have a 125cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that will generate about 10.5 bhp and 11 Nm of torque. It will be mated to a 5-speed gearbox, hence providing smooth performance on both urban and rural roads; while i3S (Idle Stop-Start) technology will help in enhancing the fuel economy.
Ride and Handling
The front is expected to get telescopic forks and the rear is expected to receive hydraulic shocks, considering the road conditions in India. It will allow a very lightweight frame and a balanced chassis which makes it easier to maneuver through traffic. The upright seating position and soft cushioning would make even long distances enjoyable.
Features and Technology
The 2025 variant is expected to feature modern tweaks while keeping the simplicity of the Splendor. The main focus here is enhanced usability but without a huge mark-up on the price.
Expectations on key features:
- Digital instrument cluster.
- Real-time mileage display and i3S system.
- Side-stand engine cut-off with optional LED headlamps/DRLs.
- USB charging (on certain variants), alloy wheels, and tubeless tires.
Mileage and Efficiency
The Kahaani’s strongest highlight of 90 kmpl mileage is yet another factor that makes it unique in its segment. With a 10-liter tank, it can go as far as 850-900 km, making it suitable for long touring and daily riding.
Pricing and Variants
Provisional estimates suggest an ex-showroom price of around ₹85,000. Expected variants are the Base (drum brake), the Mid (disc brake), and the top-end variant with LED and digital cluster. Therefore, the pricing ought to cater to the budget buyers.
Conclusion
If any of this information turns out to be good when the Splendor 125 comes in, it will be truly joyful on the part of the average rider; huge 125cc engines with great mileage and are loaded with practical features will appeal to students, professionals, and families alike. We could linger till a more concrete one comes up before the launch.
Note: Information provided is mostly tentative. Reports have even speculated the launch being pushed to late 2026-well, in any case, wait till Hero MotoCorp makes any statement for official confirmation.
