Hero Splendor iSmart vs Hero Maestro Edge 125 Comparison

The Hero Splendor iSmart comes with an extremely refined engine which has high focus on being fuel efficiency thanks to the start/stop system offered with the i3S feature. The iSmart takes the strong Hero Splendor brand forward and offers improved design, features and the convenience of a start-stop system to aid in better fuel economy in the city. The Splendor iSmart also comes with a slightly bigger 113.2 cc engine compared to the 97.2 cc engine of the Splendor +.

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.
