Overview

Introducing the 2012 Hero Honda Super Splendor 125, a motorcycle that has carved a niche in the highly competitive sport category, particularly within the bustling Indian market. With its striking design and a reputation for reliability and performance, the Super Splendor is aimed at both daily commuters and those looking for an agile machine for weekend rides. Hero Honda, a name synonymous with quality in the two-wheeler segment, has successfully blended aesthetics with functional engineering in this model, making it a popular choice among urban riders. At the heart of the Super Splendor 125 lies a robust single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 124.50 ccm. This engine churns out a commendable 9.01 horsepower at 7000 RPM, delivering smooth acceleration and a top speed of 90 km/h (55.9 mph). The torque output of 10.35 Nm at 4800 RPM ensures that riders can enjoy responsive power across various riding conditions, whether navigating through city traffic or cruising on open roads. The advanced microprocessor ignition (AMI) system enhances the engine’s efficiency, while the air-cooled design keeps the performance consistent without the complications of liquid cooling. Coupled with a 4-speed gearbox, this motorcycle delivers a balanced combination of power and control, making every ride enjoyable. The Super Splendor 125 is equipped with features that elevate the riding experience, including a tubular double cradle frame that provides stability and comfort. Its telescopic hydraulic fork at the front and swing arm with adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear ensure a smooth ride over various terrains, absorbing bumps effortlessly. With a fuel capacity of 1,300 liters, riders can embark on longer journeys without frequent stops for refueling. The motorcycle is also available in eye-catching color options—red, blue, silver, and black—each adorned with stylish stripes that add to its sporty appeal. Additionally, the electric starter adds convenience to the everyday user, making it easy to get on the road quickly. **

Pros

  • Reliable Performance: The engine delivers solid power and torque, making it suitable for both daily commuting and longer rides.
  • Comfortable Ride: The suspension system provides excellent shock absorption, ensuring a comfortable experience even on bumpy roads.
  • Fuel Efficiency: With a generous fuel tank capacity, this motorcycle is economical for daily use, allowing for longer rides without frequent refueling.
