Hero MotoCorp has rolled out the Model Year 2025 (MY25) updates for its hugely popular Splendor+ lineup, solidifying its status as India’s (and possibly the world’s) best-selling motorcycle series. The updated lineup includes the Splendor+, Splendor+ XTEC, and Splendor+ XTEC 2.0, with minor but important changes under the hood and new styling cues.

The MY25 range gets a modest price revision, starting at:
- ₹79,096 (ex-showroom) for the Splendor+ Drum
- ₹80,066 (ex-showroom) for both Splendor+ i3S and Splendor+ i3S Black & Accent

- Splendor+ XTEC 2.0 – ₹85,001
Design & Features: Familiar Look, Fresh Graphics
Visually, the Splendor+ continues with its tried-and-tested design. There are no major cosmetic changes, but new body graphics help differentiate the MY25 models from their predecessors. Depending on the variant, you’ll find unique color schemes, graphic patterns, and practical additions like:
- Rear luggage racks (on utility-focused models)
- Stylish grab rails (for more premium variants)
New Engine, Emission Compliance for 2025
The key upgrade lies in the engine. All MY25 Splendor+ models are now powered by an updated, OBD-2B compliant engine, meeting the BS6 Phase 2 (BS6 P2) emission norms that become mandatory for all new vehicles in India from April 1, 2025.
Under the seat is a:
- 97.2cc air-cooled, single-cylinder, SOHC engine
- Producing 7.91 bhp and 8.05 Nm of peak torque
- Paired with a 4-speed gearbox, typical for commuter motorcycles in this segment
Tech & Equipment Upgrades
Depending on the variant, the 2025 Hero Splendor+ now offers modern features such as:
- Front disc brakes (in select models)
- LED headlamps and DRLs
- Fully digital instrument cluster
- Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone app support
Price Hike Justified by Updates
With these enhancements, the price increase across the MY25 lineup is fairly minimal—ranging between ₹1,800 to ₹2,500—making the Splendor+ an even more compelling option for everyday commuters.
