Hero Maestro Edge 125 vs Hero Splendor Plus Comparison

The Hero Maestro Edge 125 gets a competitive entry price starting from ₹ 58,500 for the drum brake version, but the FI model is priced at a steep ₹ 62,700 (all prices, ex-showroom Delhi). For the money, it manages to tick all the right boxes in terms of offering the essentials in a 125 cc model. It’s not outrightly sporty and it isn’t commuter-ish either, it sits in a sweet spot right in the middle where it’s exciting enough for a new user but commuter enough for day to day responsibilities.

The Hero Splendor Plus continues to be a dominant force in the commuter segment, offering a tried-and-true design, excellent fuel efficiency, and modern updates like Bluetooth connectivity and the i3S system. While it may not be the most powerful or feature-rich bike in its class, its reliability, comfort, and low running costs make it a perfect choice for daily commuting. For those looking for an affordable and dependable workhorse, the Splendor Plus is a solid and time-tested option.
