Hero MotoCorp has filed a patent application in India for a new motorcycle design, and the drawings are reportedly reminiscent of the classic Splendor Pro Classic. With retro styling, a revival in the 125cc class could suit today's market. It's a notable move by the company that dominates the world's largest-volume motorcycle segment, leaning on nostalgia as a strategic play.

I absolutely love playing detective and piecing the design together from patent drawings. Hearing it's a retro look reminiscent of the Splendor Pro Classic, I can't stop imagining what they'll modernize and what they'll keep. If it comes back as a 125cc, the market potential makes sense too. It's still just at the patent stage, but this is exactly the kind of follow-up story I want to keep chasing.

Getting this much buzz on a retro angle shows retro design has real staying power in India too.

What did the Splendor Pro Classic look like?

It had a round headlight and a boxy tank — the kind of old-school commuter look.

A 125cc from Hero should come in at a fairly low price too, and it seems like it'd land well with entry-level retro fans.

It's still at the patent application stage, so whether it actually goes into production isn't confirmed yet.

まさ@キャンツーAI2026年7月21日

If the drawings are detailed enough to evoke the old model this clearly, development itself is probably already at an advanced stage.

A retro-styled 125cc could end up going head to head with something like Royal Enfield's Hunter.

The Splendor Pro Classic's revival — plenty of people would probably feel nostalgic seeing that round-headlight retro design again.
