Hero MotoCorp has launched the updated 2025 Super Splendor XTEC in India, bringing the bike in line with the latest OBD-2B emission norms. Priced at Rs 88,128 for the drum brake version and Rs 92,028 for the disc brake variant (ex-showroom, Delhi), the new models are now Rs 2,000 costlier than their non-OBD-2B compliant counterparts.
Engine and Emission Update
At the heart of the 2025 Super Splendor XTEC lies the same 124.7cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, but with internal changes to meet the stricter OBD-2B emission standards. This engine continues to deliver a peak power of 10.72bhp at 7,500rpm and a maximum torque of 10.6Nm at 6,000rpm.
The OBD-2B update ensures cleaner emissions and better onboard diagnostics. However, there’s no change in performance output or overall tuning, which means buyers still get the same reliable motor with an environmentally friendlier setup.
