Hero MotoCorp has just dropped a bombshell in the commuter bike segment with the all-new Splendor Plus 125 BS7. Priced from just ₹85,000 (ex-showroom), this new workhorse combines the Splendor’s legendary reliability with modern tech upgrades. And here’s the real kicker – it delivers a jaw-dropping 80kmpl mileage and comes with a huge 14-litre fuel tank, making it a dream machine for anyone who wants to save big on fuel.
Old-School Charm, Fresh New Style
While the iconic Splendor silhouette stays intact, Hero has given it some sharp design updates. There’s a muscular fuel tank, LED headlamp with DRLs, sporty decals, and shiny chrome accents. The new colour options give it a premium edge, while the long cushioned seat and ergonomic handlebars ensure all-day comfort for both rider and pillion.
Mileage King with a Punch
At the heart of the Splendor Plus 125 BS7 is a 124.7cc BS7 engine producing 10.8 bhp and 10.6 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox. It features Hero’s i3S (Idle Stop-Start System), which turns off the engine at idle to save fuel. While the official mileage is 80 kmpl (under ideal conditions), real-world figures are still expected to be around 60–65 kmpl, which is still one of the best in India.
Tech & Features That Make Sense
The new Splendor Plus 125 is no longer bare-bones. You now get:
-
Semi-digital instrument cluster with real-time mileage readout
-
Bluetooth connectivity for your smartphone
-
USB charging port for your devices
-
Tubeless tyres and Combi-Braking System (CBS) for safety
Comfort That Works in the Real World
Hero has fine-tuned the suspension with telescopic front forks and a 5-step adjustable rear shock absorber for Indian roads. The 795mm seat height makes it accessible for all riders, while the big fuel tank means fewer petrol pump visits — perfect for city runs and highway trips alike.
Price & Variants
The Splendor Plus 125 BS7 is priced between ₹85,000 and ₹90,000 (ex-showroom), undercutting most of its rivals while offering better mileage. Multiple colour options are available at Hero dealerships across the country.

Verdict – The Sensible Rider’s Dream
The Hero Splendor Plus 125 BS7 blends the old-school dependability of the Splendor with practical modern upgrades. It’s cheap to run (about ₹19,000 a year including fuel and maintenance), packed with useful features, and built to last. It might not give you sportbike thrills, but for students, office-goers, and daily commuters, this might just be India’s most sensible bike in 2025.
