New 2026 Hero Splendor 125M Launched in India

Hero MotoCorp has introduced the 2026 Splendor 125M in India. The Splendor name has been around for years, and most buyers already know what to expect from it. This new version doesn’t try to change the formula. It simply adds a bigger engine and a few updates for people who want slightly more power in daily riding.

Engine and Daily Riding Experience

The bike uses a 125cc air-cooled petrol engine. It is tuned for calm and smooth riding, not speed. In city traffic, the engine feels easy to manage and doesn’t demand much effort from the rider. Hero’s focus remains on mileage, which is expected to be around 60 km per litre under normal conditions.

Simple and Familiar Design

The design stays close to older Splendor models. The shape is familiar, and nothing feels new or confusing. There are small changes in graphics and the headlamp, but the overall look remains simple. This will suit buyers who prefer a bike that looks clean and practical rather than sporty.

Features That Matter in Real Use

The 2026 Splendor 125M comes with basic features meant for everyday use. It includes i3S start-stop technology, a semi-digital meter, and a side-stand engine cut-off. These features are not flashy, but they help in saving fuel and improving safety during regular riding.

Expected Price in India

The Hero Splendor 125M price in India is expected to fall between ₹85,000 and ₹90,000 (ex-showroom). This places it above the 100cc Splendor models, but still within reach for most commuter bike buyers. Running costs are expected to stay low, which is an important reason people choose Splendor.

Who This Bike Is Really For

The new Splendor 125M is meant for people who ride every day — office commuters, small business owners, and family users. It is not designed to impress with speed or style. Instead, it focuses on reliability, mileage, and ease of ownership. That’s exactly why the Splendor name continues to work in India.
