Back With a Bang – Hero Splendor Plus 2025 Is Here!
If you’ve ever lived in India, chances are you’ve seen or maybe even owned a Hero Splendor at some point. It’s the bike that ruled our roads for decades. And now, in 2025, the legend is back—but this time it’s better, smarter, and cooler than ever.
Yep, the New Hero Splendor Plus 2025 just rolled out and people are going nuts over it. I stopped by a dealership yesterday just to “see what’s new” and came back with stars in my eyes. So, what’s making this simple commuter bike the talk of the town again? Let me break it down for you.
Sleek New Design That’s Turning Heads
First thing I noticed? It doesn’t look old-school anymore. The new Splendor Plus now comes with sporty graphics, a slightly refreshed LED headlamp, and an all-new digital meter console. It still keeps that iconic Splendor shape, but the styling now gives it a modern edge. And that blacked-out engine? Total boss look.
They’ve also added black alloy wheels and a neat grab rail at the back. Honestly, it looks like a mix of classic and cool. If you liked the old Splendor for its no-nonsense vibes, this one brings that with a side of swagger.
Mileage That’ll Make You Go “WHAAAT?!”
Let’s talk numbers. Hero is claiming the new Splendor Plus can now give you up to 80.6 kmpl. Yes, you read that right—80.6 kilometers per liter! That’s insane considering how fuel prices are climbing every month.
This magic mileage comes thanks to Hero’s i3S (Idle Start Stop System) tech. It saves fuel by turning off the engine automatically when you’re idling, like at traffic signals. As soon as you press the clutch, the engine starts again. Super smart.
You can read about the i3S system here on Hero’s official site.
97.2cc Engine – Same Heart, Smoother Soul
Don’t worry, they didn’t mess with the engine much. The bike still runs on its trusted 97.2cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, but it’s now BS6-compliant. What that means for regular folks like us is it’s cleaner, more efficient, and still gives you that smooth ride we’ve always loved.
Power output is around 8.02 PS at 8000 RPM and 8.05 Nm torque. It’s not a racer, but trust me, this baby handles city roads like a pro. Whether you’re cruising at 40kmph or zipping at 70, it’s got zero drama. Just smooth, chill riding.
Digital Meter, USB Charger & More Handy Features
One thing I didn’t expect was a fully digital console. It shows speed, fuel level, odometer, and even has a service reminder. I know that might sound small to some people, but for a budget commuter like this? That’s a big upgrade.
Oh—and they added a USB charging port too! Now you can charge your phone while riding. No more dying batteries on your way to work. Little things like this make a big difference in daily life.
Ride Quality – Still Comfy As Ever
Hero kept the comfort factor strong with the telescopic front suspension and twin rear shocks. I took it over some rough patches, and it absorbed most of the shocks like a champ. It still rides super light and nimble, so taking quick turns or dodging potholes feels easy-breezy.
Even with a pillion, the ride stays balanced. My cousin hopped on the back and we went on a short ride—zero complaints.
Variants and Colors That Match Your Vibe
The Splendor Plus 2025 comes in three variants:
- Kick Start with Alloy Wheels
- Self Start with Alloy Wheels
- Self Start with Alloy Wheels & i3S
And the color options? You’ve got Black with Red, Black with Silver, Heavy Grey, and Beetle Red. I personally liked the Black with Silver—very classy, very clean.

Lightweight and Perfect for Daily Use
This bike weighs just 112 kg, which means it’s easy to push, park, and control—especially for new riders or senior citizens. Seat height is also low enough for people of average height to place their feet comfortably.
Plus, the fuel tank capacity is 9.8 liters, so if you ride daily for work or college, you won’t be running to the pump every few days.
Best Part? The Price Is Still Jaw-Dropping
You’d think with all these updates, the price would shoot up, right? Nope. The base model of the 2025 Splendor Plus starts at just around ₹75,000 ex-showroom. That’s still super affordable for Indian buyers.

Final Thoughts from a Daily Rider
Look, I’m not a bike expert or mechanic. Just a normal guy who needs a dependable ride every day. And the New Hero Splendor Plus 2025 feels like it was made for people like me.
It’s fuel-efficient, low-maintenance, easy to ride, and now—finally—looks great too. Whether you’re a student, working professional, or even buying your first-ever bike, this is one you should seriously take a test ride on.
Ride safe, friends. And if you’ve already tried the 2025 Splendor Plus, let me know how it felt!
