Hero Splendor Plus has been retaining the ‘Best-Seller’ tag for years with its reliability, excellent mileage and easy-to-ride nature. Despite the design fundamentally being the same, the Splendor Plus is still loved by Indian consumers and the sales figures too reflect the same.
Hero closed the end of the financial year on an absolute high by selling 3,01,584 Splendor Plus bikes in March 2025, a 10.79% increase in Year-on-Year (YoY) sales when compared to March 2024. Crossing 3 lakh sales in just a month is a commendable feat, and the Holi season might have also had a role to play. The Month-On-Month (MoM) sales too, have been on a steep incline with 55.63% increase in sales compared to the previous month. Also, Hero recently launched the OBD-2B compliant versions of its bikes, and Splendor Plus was one of the first few to receive the update.

The Bajaj Pulsar 125cc range consists of the Pulsar 125, Pulsar NS125 and the Pulsar N125. All these bikes are quite popular for their sporty character while being fuel-efficient. Bajaj Auto sold 67,044 Pulsars in the month of March, a 7.81% decrease in YoY sales when compared with sales from March 2024. The MoM sales also narrate the same story with a 24.69% decline.
While the 125cc segment has matured considerably with several bikes offering a great balance of performance and mileage while being feature-packed as well. Despite the fall in sales, it seems like Bajaj is able to fend off the competition just by the sheer number of products it offers in a particular segment. In this case, with three bikes in the same category, the sales numbers look healthy when compared to its rivals.

- City ride with Hf deluxeI chose the HF Deluxe because it is known for reliability, low maintenance cost, and excellent fuel efficiency, which suits daily commuting needs. Being a product from Hero MotoCorp, it also gives confidence in terms of service network and resale value. The ride so far has been quite smooth and comfortable for city use. The seat is well cushioned and the suspension handles rough roads decently. Mileage is a strong point easily giving around 65 to 70 km per litre which makes it very economical. The bike is lightweight so handling is easy especially in traffic, However speed and power are limited it is not built for aggressive riding On highways it performs okay at moderate speeds 50 to 70 km per hour but feels slightly underpowered if you try to push beyond that. Yes I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone looking for a budget friendly low maintenance daily commuter especially for city rides rather than long highway touring and for office use daily updowRead More
