Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0: India’s Favourite 125cc Gets Smarter
The 125cc commuter segment in India has never been more competitive. Riders are upgrading fast from basic 100cc bikes to feature-loaded 125cc motorcycles. Hero MotoCorp clearly saw this coming. The Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 has now been launched in India at Rs 86,500, ex-showroom Delhi. It brings genuine upgrades, a refreshed colour palette and a feature list that punches well above its price. For the everyday Indian commuter, this one deserves a closer look.
Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0: Five Colours That Cover Every Taste
First things first let us talk about how it looks. The Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 is available in five colour options. These are Glossy Black, Candy Blazing Red, Matt Axis Grey, Matt Nexus Blue and Matt Chestnut Brown. The black and red shades carry a glossy, metallic finish. The remaining three get a matte, non-glossy treatment. All five colours get silver and grey dual-tone decals. A 3D emblem, signature XTEC 2.0 badging and rim tapes complete the visual package. It looks fresh and properly put together.
Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0: The Engine Still Delivers
No changes under the tank and that is not a bad thing. The Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 continues with the proven 124.7cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine. It produces 10.7 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 10.6 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. Hero claims a fuel efficiency of 72 kmpl the highest figure in the 125cc class. That claim is backed by the i3S idle stop-start system, which cuts the engine at idle and restarts it smoothly. The Integrated Starter Generator handles those restarts quietly. No jerky, noisy startups in stop-and-go city traffic. Riders who spend hours in Bangalore or Delhi traffic will appreciate this greatly.
Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0: A First-Ever Safety Feature for This Series
Here is the headline update that separates this model from its predecessor. The Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 is the first motorcycle in the Super Splendor series to receive hazard lamps. All four indicators can now be activated simultaneously. This is genuinely useful during breakdowns or emergencies on busy Indian roads. A front disc brake and a handlebar-mounted engine kill switch add further to the safety package. These are not just ticks on a spec sheet they are features that matter in real-world Indian riding conditions.
Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0: Connected Features That Make Daily Life Easier
The Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 gets a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. The console displays incoming call alerts, SMS notifications, missed call alerts, caller ID and phone battery status. A real-time mileage indicator and a low fuel warning are also part of the display. A USB Type-C charging port rated at 2 Amps is fitted as standard. Smartphones can be kept charged through longer commutes where navigation and calls drain batteries faster. For a commuter bike at this price, that is a genuinely useful addition.
Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0: Comfort Built for Indian Roads
The ergonomics have also been revisited on the Hero Super Splendor XTEC 2.0. A wide, upright handlebar is said to offer a relaxed riding posture for long commutes. The dual-textured, long stitched seat is claimed to offer comfortable space for both rider and pillion. A wide rear grab rail is fitted to improve pillion stability particularly useful on broken road surfaces. Telescopic front suspension handles the bumps up front. Put together, this is a motorcycle designed with the Indian daily commuter firmly in mind.
