Hero Super Splendor Xtec is a bike available in 2 variants and 3 colours. The Hero Super Splendor Xtec is powered by 124.7cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 10.72 bhp and a torque of 10.6 Nm. With both front and rear drum brakes, Hero Super Splendor Xtec comes up with combined braking system of both wheels. This Super Splendor Xtec bike weighs 122 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 12 liters.

The 2023 Hero Super Splendor Xtec was launched in the Indian market with several updates over the standard motorcycle. For starters, this variant of the 125cc commuter motorcycle benefits from a Bluetooth-enabled fully-digital display that packs features such as missed call alerts, SMS alerts, incoming call alerts, and a phone battery level display. However, despite sporting the Xtec badge, this motorcycle misses turn-by-turn navigation.

The digital display also shows ride-related data on the speedometer, odometer, two trip meters, fuel gauge, and real-time fuel economy. Other features on the Super Splendor Xtec comprise an LED headlight with LED DRL, a USB charging port, an idle start-stop system, a combined braking system, and a side-stand engine cut-off function.

The list of visual changes is limited, and the only difference between the standard version and the Xtec variant is at the front of the vehicle. The Xtec model benefits from a new design for the headlight that features an integrated LED DRL. Meanwhile, the styling elements retained from the standard motorcycle comprise a body-coloured headlight cowl, body-coloured front fender, curvy shape for the fuel tank, single-piece seat, single-piece grabrail, and a side-slung exhaust with chrome heat-shield.

Hero MotoCorp has listed the new Super Splendor Xtec in three paint options – Gloss Black, Candy Blazing Red, and Matte Axis Grey. All three colour options feature identical graphics that are visible on the headlight cowl, fuel tank, and side and rear panels.

The mechanical specifications on the Super Splendor Xtec are similar to the standard version, and this motorcycle, too, uses a 124.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. Linked to a five-speed gearbox, this motor makes the same 10.7bhp at 7,500rpm and 10.6Nm at 6,000rpm as the standard Super Splendor. However, the new Xtec variant is OBD2-A-compliant. The On-board Diagnostics System helps in detecting system failures and indicates faults in the vehicle system. The company claims a fuel economy of 68kmpl.

The hardware comprises a diamond frame, telescopic front forks, and five-step-adjustable twin rear springs. The braking system includes 130mm drum brakes on both wheels on the base model. Meanwhile, the premium version gets a 240mm disc at the front. The 18-inch alloy wheels are shod in 80/100-section front and 90/90-section rear tubeless tyres.

The Super Splendor Xtec rivals the likes of the TVS Raider 125 and Honda SP 125 in the Indian market.
