2025 Hero Splendor Xtec launched: Check price difference, what's changed

Hero MotoCorp has launched the 2025 iteration of its popular commuter motorcycle, the Super Splendor XTEC. While the update may seem subtle, it's part of a broader move by the brand to refresh its portfolio including models like the Passion, Splendor, Glamour and more.

The 2025 Super Splendor XTEC continues to be based on the regular Super Splendor and adds a few more tech-friendly features. As part of this update, it retains the same 124.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. However, it is now a OBD2B-compliant motor and churns out the same 10.8 hp and 10.6 Nm, paired with a 4-speed gearbox.

In terms of pricing, there’s a slight bump. The drum brake variant now starts at Rs 88,128, while the version with a front disc is priced at Rs 92,028, both ex-showroom. That’s an increase of Rs 2,000 over the previous model.
In terms of design, dimensions, hardware and features, it remains unchanged. The LED headlight and fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity — features that set the XTEC version apart — remain unchanged. Other key hardware parts include telescopic front forks, twin rear shock absorbers, alloy wheels, and a rear drum brake, with the option of a front disc or drum brake.
The colour palette stays the same as before, offering a choice of four shades: Matt Nexus Blue, Matt Grey, Black, and Candy Blazing Red. The bike continues to take on rivals like the Honda SP125 and the TVS Raider 125, both of which are also strong contenders in the 125cc commuter space.
