Display & Tech
The top model features an LED headlight and a Bluetooth-connected digital cluster, making it feature-rich.

ARAI tests show a mileage of up to 83 km/l, while real-world users report around 60-70 km/l.
Ride Comfort

Hero Splendor 125cc Price
The ex-showroom price of the new Splendor 125cc will range from ₹95,000 to ₹1 lakh. This price varies from the base drum brake model to the top XTEC variant.
In Delhi, the on-road price may start from approximately ₹1.05 lakh. This price is slightly higher than the older 100cc Splendor Plus (₹73,000–₹85,000), but the power and features have also increased proportionally.
In terms of competition, it will directly compete with the Honda Shine 125 and TVS Radeon. However, the Splendor’s vast service network remains its biggest advantage.

According to users,
“This bike rides very comfortably on city roads, remains stable easily up to 80–85 kmph, and has very low service costs.”
