Hero Super Splendor Xtec — Overview

The Hero Super Splendor Xtec is a commuter bike available at a price range of Rs. 83,872 - Rs. 87,607 in India. It comes in 2 variants and 4 colours. It is powered by a 124.7 cc BS6 Phase 2B engine and has a user reported mileage of 61 kmpl. With both front and rear drum brakes, the Hero Super Splendor Xtec comes with combined braking system on both wheels. The Super Splendor Xtec bike weighs 122 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 12 liters. It develops a power output of 10.72 bhp and a torque of 10.6 Nm.

At Rs 83,448, the Hero Super Splendor Xtec does something few commuters at this price manage: it pairs 69 kmpl ARAI-certified mileage with Bluetooth connectivity, a digital console, and Hero's i3S idle stop-start system - all in one package. It is not the most powerful 125 cc bike on the market, and its gear shifting can frustrate in dense traffic, but for a daily commuter that needs to be economical, connected, and easy to maintain, very little in this segment matches what the Super Splendor Xtec offers.

Hero Super Splendor Xtec Latest Updates

View all

  • Hero MotoCorp revised prices across the Splendor lineup for 2026, with the Super Splendor Xtec Drum variant now listed at Rs 84,448 ex-showroom - an increase of approximately Rs 1,000 over the previous Rs 83,448. The Disc variant is unaffected in most listings at Rs 88,044.

  • Hero MotoCorp launched the Splendor Plus Xtec 2.0 in the 125 cc commuter segment, priced from Rs 82,911 with a claimed 73 kmpl ARAI mileage - positioning it below the Super Splendor Xtec in the Hero lineup and targeting entry-level connected commuter buyers.

  • Hero MotoCorp named the Super Splendor Xtec among the best 125 cc commuter bikes of 2026 in its own marketing communications, citing the combination of 69 kmpl ARAI mileage, Bluetooth connectivity, and i3S technology as differentiators over similarly priced rivals.

What We Like

  • Outstanding real-world fuel efficiency of 55-65 kmpl, enhanced by Hero's i3S idle stop-start that cuts the engine at long signals
  • Bluetooth connectivity with call and SMS alerts on the digital console - a standout feature at this price bracket
  • Wide, cushioned seat and upright ergonomics keep you comfortable on 30-50 km daily commutes without back fatigue
  • Hero's 9,000+ service touchpoints mean authorised service is accessible even in tier-3 towns, with affordable genuine parts

What Could Be Better

  • Gear shifting draws complaints from multiple owners - 2nd-to-3rd gear can stick in slow stop-and-go traffic
  • Engine vibrations are noticeable at low RPMs and above 60 km/h sustained, which can tire hands on longer runs
  • Bluetooth pairing drops occasionally and call alerts are not always reliable

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Hero Super Splendor Xtec?

The Hero Super Splendor Xtec is the default recommendation for a fuel-efficient, feature-rich 125 cc commuter in India. It doesn't excite, but it delivers on every metric that matters for daily use - mileage, reliability, service access, and connected features. Get the Disc variant if budget allows; the Rs 4,600 braking upgrade is worth it.
