The Hero Splendor Plus is the undisputed king of Indian two-wheeler sales, known for its bulletproof reliability and incredible fuel efficiency. While the traditional Splendor Plus runs a 100cc engine, market demand for a more powerful, yet equally reliable commuter has led to the expectation of a true Hero Splendor Plus 125cc variant for 2025.
The Hero Splendor name is synonymous with trust, mileage, and value, and now it’s getting even better with the Splendor Plus 125cc variant. Hero MotoCorp is upping its game in the commuter segment by bringing more power, smarter technology, and better comfort while retaining its core identity—reliability and affordability.
