Hero MotoCorp has unveiled the latest addition to its iconic Splendor family—the Hero Splendor 125 ABS. Retaining the trusted heritage of the Splendor series, this 125cc model introduces performance, modern features, and enhanced safety, providing an elevated yet familiar riding experience for today’s commuter.
Refined Powertrain & Fuel Efficiency
Powered by a 124.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine delivering approximately 10.7 bhp and 10.6 Nm of torque, the Splendor 125 ABS upgrades the classic Splendor’s performance without compromising efficiency. It’s paired with a smooth 5‑speed gearbox, offering seamless acceleration whether navigating urban traffic or cruising on open roads.
Hero claims an impressive fuel efficiency of up to 90 kmpl under ideal conditions, thanks to the integration of their i3S idle start‑stop system and fuel‑injection technology. Real-world figures typically range between 70–75 kmpl, still leading the 125cc segment in milage.
Comfort, Design & Everyday Features
The Splendor 125 ABS maintains the classic Splendor silhouette that millions love but modernizes it with sleeker bodywork, bold graphics, and chrome accents. It is available in vibrant colors like Sparkling Blue, Noble Red, Matte Grey, Gloss Black, and more, offering visual appeal without sacrificing its timeless identity.
On the convenience side, higher variants of the bike are equipped with a semi‑digital instrument console displaying speed, fuel level, and real‑time mileage. Features such as a USB charging port, LED headlamps with DRLs, tubeless wheels, and a side‑stand engine cut‑off are available to enhance usability and safety.
Safety & Ride Stability
Enhancing rider safety, the Splendor 125 ABS includes either a single-channel ABS (front wheel) or a Combined Braking System (CBS), depending on the variant—both of which significantly improve braking performance in emergencies or slippery conditions.
The suspension setup comprises telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers tuned for comfort over daily commutes and pothole-riddled roads. Lightweight alloy wheels with tubeless tires further improve maneuverability and puncture resistance.
