2025 Hero Splendor Plus: Same Price Other Options
A CNG or an electric motorcycle or two practical scooters can be considered over the Splendor Plus
Hero MotoCorp recently launched the 2025 Splendor Plus range in India. Even though it’s India’s best-selling bike, the price of the top-end variant is pretty steep. At Rs 86,051 (ex-showroom Delhi), for the Splendor Plus Xtec Disc variant there are a lot of other two-wheelers that can be considered over it for around the same price.
Suzuki Access 125 Disc
Price - Rs 89,400 (ex-showroom Delhi)
The Suzuki Access 125 is a premium looking family scooter, and is also the best-selling 125cc scooter in India. It offers a great blend of retro and modern design language. Its 124cc engine is super refined and fuel efficient, along with punchy performance.
The Access 125 gets a fully digital console which shows all the crucial information and supports smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth. It shows turn-by-turn navigation and SMS/call alerts.

- Good response from the customerI bough this TVS raider in Jan 2026. Till now, i did not face any issues with it. This costs around 1.25 Lakhs including EMI. This can be a good commuter bike in 125cc bike models. E20 facility is also added in this bike. Handling is very good in this bike. I feel so comfortable when i ride on highways. I like rear foot support to provide comfort for pillion rider while having seat. Good mileage bike under 125cc bikes. This is kind of family bike with sporty look. City riding people can prefer this mostly. This is a best mileage bike under 1.25Lakhs. i would recommend to change the colour of ABS channel(red colour) to black.Read More
- review of bike.Splendor is a good bike for daily commuters as it delivers a good mileage and smooth performance. In one word, a buget king or mileage king. Moreover maintainance is also low, parts are easily available in market. I will recommend this bike for all the office commuter as well as for local users. Overall nice bike.Read More
- Good experienceBest bike i have ever seen specifications also approximately same as said, good bike in the budget and range is also quite good. Performance overall good and one time charging gives you range of around 80-90 km. It's quite good experience, with revolt r1 plus, mileage is quite good and no issues so far but I just ride 90 kms I can't say confirm.. but for sure it's best bike in ev in this segment under this budget. Any type of person could buy this ev bike, it also suits for household people also for every daily employee. farmers also can use in villages but not suggestable in the hot summer days and for long range journeys. Overall best bike.Read More
- Positive Review of Access 125As being an adult, I needed a vehicle to commute to places, I had to select a scooter for house chores and personal uses. I took advice from many people, used AI for comparisons, took reviews, test rides and then selected it as a final decision. So far the ride is comfortable, we can ride for hours without getting back pain or anything, with a good mileage receiving at a petrol scooter, I have no tension about how much I ride on daily basis, the handling, brakes, tyres and suspension are all best. A family person or a new adult should purchase it or as a first two wheeler owner too. You can purchase it. I would surely recommend to you. I will take guarantee of u not regretting getting this scooter.Read More
