Hero MotoCorp Launches Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 for Rs. 86,500
Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, has officially launched the Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 in the Indian market. Building on a product legacy established in 1994, the new 125cc commuter motorcycle integrates modern technological features with a focus on fuel efficiency and rider safety. The Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 is available at dealerships nationwide for Rs. 86500 (Ex-Showroom, Delhi).
Engine Performance and Fuel Efficiency
The Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 is powered by a 124.7cc single-cylinder engine. This powertrain generates 10.7 bhp at 7500 rpm and delivers a peak torque of 10.6 Nm at 6000 rpm, optimized for everyday commuting and responsive acceleration.
A primary focus of the new model is fuel economy. The motorcycle achieves a claimed best-in-class mileage of 72 kmpl. This metric is supported by Hero MotoCorp’s Advanced Programmed Fuel Injection (APFI) and the i3S (Idle Stop-Start System) technology, which optimizes fuel consumption during operation. Furthermore, the inclusion of an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) provides a near-silent engine start and facilitates seamless restarts in stop-and-go traffic.
Digital Connectivity and Utility
Addressing the demands of contemporary riders, the XTEC 2.0 variant features a fully digital instrument cluster equipped with Bluetooth connectivity. The console provides real-time information, including:
- Incoming call and missed call alerts.
- SMS notifications and caller ID.
- Phone battery status.
- Real-Time Mileage Indicator (RTMi) and Low Fuel Indicator.
To support mobile devices during transit, Hero MotoCorp has integrated a 2 Amp USB Type-C charging port into the motorcycle’s design.
Safety Upgrades and Ergonomics
The Super Splendor XTEC 2.0 introduces segment-first Hazard Lights, allowing riders to activate all four turn indicators simultaneously during emergencies or mechanical breakdowns. Braking is managed by a Front Disc Brake designed to ensure reliable stopping power across varying road conditions. A handlebar-mounted engine kill switch has also been added for operational convenience.
For rider comfort, the motorcycle utilizes a wide, upright handlebar and a long seat designed to accommodate both the rider and pillion. Stability is supported by a refined telescopic front suspension and a wide rear grab rail.
Visual Identity and Availability
The exterior design features dual-tone body graphics, XTEC 2.0 badging, a 3D emblem, rim tapes, and a dual-textured stitched seat. The motorcycle is offered in five distinct color variants:
