Hero Super Splendor : Introduction In a country where fuel efficiency matters as much (perhaps even more) as style and performance, there’s been one name silently and consistently reigning the roads – the Super Splendor.
Today in 2025, it is the true “mad bike” with mileage in India and has already established itself as the country’s No.1 dhakad mileage bike among commuters, students and working professionals.
Even as several newcomers are swanking up the uninspiring 125cc category with their outrageous styling and fanciful features, the Super Splendor remains true to its fundamentals — reliability, fuel efficiency and street performance.
It may not yell in your face, but it knows what it’s doing where it matters.
Sensible and Stylish Design
The Hero Super Splendor does not boast of radical street fighter styling, but it is still has simple and elegant styling that should appeal to a large age group.
Despite the sharp body lines, new graphics and revised LED headlamp, the bike keeps in line between suave and practical.
The seating position is a relaxed yet upright and the seat is long and cushy for both rider and pillion, while the position of the handlebar provides maximum command both in traffic and on the highway.
It’s available in a few different dual-tone colour schemes, and it looks pretty sporty without going over the top on style at the cost of its commuter DNA.
Engine and performance: Made for the Everyday Riding
Power at the heart of the Super Splendor now comes packed with HP and torque and with high-tech features like heavy-duty crankshaft, a five-speed gearbox, throttle position sensor coupled with -Fi i3S (Idle Start-Stop System) and new -Fi XSens technology.
It produces 10.8 bhp and 10.6 Nm of peak torque, so the ride quality is very good.
But the power is not what really sets this engine apart, it’s the efficiency and smoothness.
Gear changes are light, too, and add the torque delivery that is very progressive, it is perfect for stop and go city driving.
Riding is smooth, thanks to its 5-speed transmission and an overall lightweight structure.
Be it riding through cramped lanes or on flyovers or cruising on highways at 60-70 km/h, the Super Splendor stays pinned and sure-footed.
Mileage That Makes It No.1
This is where the Hero Super Splendor really takes the lead over the rivals. In actual riding conditions, the motorcycle returns a fuel efficiency of 60–68 km/l while riding habits and road conditions also play a part.
Some have even hit above the 70 km/l mark on longer, less-populated, empty highways.
Those are impressive numbers for a 125cc motorcycle — and one of the key reasons that it has become the go-to choice for Indian middle class.
Fuel prices are on the rise and with it, mileage has become more critical than ever, and Hero has hit the nail on its head with their decent engine tuning and fuel efficiency oriented features.
Everyday Features With Everyday Value
While Hero hasn’t spoiled the party with too much tech, the Super Splendor does provide the essentials for daily riders that count most:
IBS (internal braking system) for control
Live mileage reading (applicable on certain variants)
Engine Kill Switch on left side handle bar for safety
Halogen or LED headlamps (variant depending)
Alloy wheels and tubeless tyres for strength
The instrument cluster is half digital, showing you fuel level, trip meter and gear position — enough without being distracting.
