2025 Hero Splendor: The Hero Splendor 2025 remains India’s favorite commuter bike, known for its unbeatable fuel efficiency, trusty performance, and budget-friendly price. The 2025 model gets a fresh look with modern touches while keeping the simplicity and reliability that riders love. With a smoother engine, smarter features, and improved comfort, the Splendor continues to win over daily commuters, delivery riders, and first-time buyers alike.
Design & Style
Hero has given the 2025 Splendor a subtle but stylish makeover. It now sports sleeker graphics, a more muscular fuel tank, and new color options. The bike also gets LED daytime running lights (DRLs), a semi-digital instrument console, and black alloy wheels for a more premium look. Despite the upgrades, it keeps its classic commuter bike stance—upright seating, comfortable ergonomics, and a lightweight build. Whether you’re a college student or a daily office-goer, the Splendor balances style and practicality perfectly.
Engine & Performance
The 2025 Splendor runs on a 100cc BS6.2-compliant engine, delivering 8 PS power and 8.05 Nm torque. Hero has fine-tuned the engine for better low-speed performance, making it ideal for stop-and-go city traffic. The big addition this year is the i3S (Idle Stop-Start System), which automatically shuts off the engine at traffic signals to save fuel. Paired with a 4-speed gearbox, the bike offers smooth acceleration and vibration-free rides even at higher speeds. It’s not a speed demon, but it’s reliable, efficient, and perfect for daily commutes.
Mileage – Still the King!
The Hero Splendor 2025 continues to dominate with its outstanding fuel efficiency. Thanks to the i3S system and engine refinements, Hero claims an 85 kmpl mileage under ideal conditions. In real-world riding, you can expect 70-75 kmpl, which is still among the best in India. This makes it a top choice for budget-conscious riders, delivery professionals, and those in rural areas where fuel costs matter the most.
Features & Tech Upgrades
Hero has added some smart yet practical features to the 2025 Splendor without making it too expensive. Key highlights include:
- LED DRLs for better visibility
- Semi-digital instrument cluster with real-time mileage display
- Side-stand engine cut-off (safety feature)
- i3S (Idle Stop-Start) for fuel savings in traffic
It doesn’t have flashy tech like a touchscreen or Bluetooth, but it covers all the essentials a commuter needs—simple, functional, and easy to use.
Comfort & Ride Quality
The 2025 Splendor keeps comfort a priority with:
- Telescopic front suspension for smoother bumps
- 5-step adjustable rear shocks for better load handling
- Wide, well-cushioned seat for long rides
- Lightweight body for easy city maneuverability
The upright riding posture ensures no back strain, whether you’re riding solo or with a pillion. Even on rough roads, the bike handles well, making it a dependable choice for all kinds of commutes.

CBS (Combined Braking System) for more effective braking
