Super Splendor Xtec Ex-Showroom Price

The Hero Super Splendor Xtec is priced at Rs 83,448 to Rs 88,044 ex-showroom across India, depending on variant and city. This positions it in the premium 125 cc commuter bracket - above the Hero Splendor Plus (under Rs 80,000) and alongside the Honda SP 125 (from Rs 89,000), but below the TVS Raider 125 (over Rs 90,000). For a bike that includes Bluetooth, i3S, a digital cluster, and an LED headlight, the entry price is competitive.

Comparing value against alternatives: the Honda SP 125 costs Rs 5,000-6,000 more and offers marginally better refinement, but the Super Splendor Xtec matches or beats it on technology features in this bracket. The Bajaj Pulsar 125 is slightly cheaper but weighs 18 kg more, returns worse mileage, and lacks Bluetooth. The TVS Raider 125 has more youthful styling and performance, but it costs more and targets a different buyer.

On EMI, a Rs 98,600 on-road price in Delhi (Drum variant) at 10.5% interest over 36 months works out to approximately Rs 2,500 per month with a 20% down payment of around Rs 19,720. Hero dealerships offer financing through Hero FinCorp and partner banks. Compare rates before committing - NBFC rates can run 1-2% higher than SBI or HDFC two-wheeler loan rates, which adds up over three years.

Insurance adds to the first-year cost. Third-party insurance is mandatory and costs approximately Rs 2,000-2,500 for a 125 cc bike; own-damage cover adds Rs 3,000-5,000 depending on the insurer and IDV you choose. Dealership-bundled insurance is convenient but is typically priced higher - compare with online aggregators like Acko, Tata AIG, or Digit before signing the delivery papers.

Post-purchase running costs are low. Hero's first three services (at 500 km, 3,000 km, and 6,000 km) are free. Thereafter, service intervals are every 3,000 km; a standard service including oil change typically costs Rs 500-700 at an authorised Hero service centre.
